Liam had just gotten over having a fever. He had asked me if he could play fight with dad again and I said ” you’re going to have to take it easy” and he responded ” but mom, taking it easy is sometimes hard, dad’s going to beat me”.  Meaning if he takes it easy, his dad’s going to win.  Lots of truth to that, it is sometimes difficult to take things easy, to be patient enough to wait until you’re fully better, fully healed. Being told to take it easy is such a hard thing to be told to do. So wise of him to understand that at such a young age.
