My son just turned 11.
He's a typical boy....room's always a mess, likes pizza and video games, enjoys sports and getting dirty.
I guess you have to be a parent of a small boy in order to comprehend how huge what I'm about to say is....why I would consider this a minor miracle.
He took a shower, and I didn't have to ask/tell/force him to!
He did it, and he did it under his own steam!
He went in the bathroom, ran the water, got under it, soaped and shamppoed up, rinsed off and then yelled for a towel because he couldn't find one. Nobody berated him, nobody nagged him, I never even mentioned it, in fact the first I knew about him being in the shower was when he hollered for someone to bring him a towel.
I'm awed. It's a miracle! A miracle, I tell ya! He took a shower! All by himself!
Before I go to bed tonight I will say a prayer of thanks to whatever gods had a hand in this event. I know there had to be some divine intervention in this, 11 year old boys simply don't take showers without having to be told to.
Miracles really DO happen!
