Don’t forget the middle One

I'll make you some coffee. Nervous? Day 2, you're still nervous? A little bit. All right. Think you'll have the same guy? I think so. You drove yesterday, the guy was really cool. He said you were a dang good driver. Did he say that in front of you? Yeah. Is that where we met him yesterday? Yeah, there he is. It's your dude, right? Yeah. Alright, good luck. You got it. Early morning drop-off for my second son's driving portion of driver's ed. I wanted to make it a point that I take him to one of these 3 sessions because it's monumental for him. This is an important time for him. I sort of felt like that opportunity was getting away from me. Like, Mom did it Friday because of errands. Jonah volunteered to do it today, Saturday, uh, and Sunday. He's just like that, you know, just ambitious and wants to help. And I thought, wait, I need to see this. Casey Neistat who said, "I'm not the oldest, I'm not the youngest, and I'm not the girl." And he kind of felt left out as that middle boy child. That's Josiah, or that could be Josiah. That's what this is. I just want to make sure I don't forget Josiah. I mean, on top of all that, he's a quiet guy who made it a point to come today. Make Josiah some coffee. He's quiet, and that's okay. He's naturally a quiet guy. We don't need to force conversation. Just being in each other's presence, just having our attention on each other, just energy between two souls is special. On our recent bike ride, him in the last part of it, him just being right behind me. I'm going up certain sections, he's making it. I'm failing other sections and he's making it. You know, just cheering you on. Just having him there, interaction or no, something's happening and it's special. And it's these little things like taking a driver's ed. Well, that's kind of a big thing. Make sure we spend time together, whether it's working, playing, talking, sitting still, watching a movie together, whatever. Already working on next year's itinerary and plan for that 100-mile bike ride. Look who's back! How was it, my man? Good. He said you drove perfect. You're good. No mistakes, no corrections. Did he have to use the brake at all for you? No. Not once? Well, yesterday, yes, but— Oh, you're learning quick. Let's hang this thing. What? Hold this. All right, just tighten it up. Oh wow, that helps a lot. You have to undo it and re-strap it, so just leave it there for now. All right, good job. Happy day.
