Children. They are always changing. Growing, learning, and becoming. And I find that idealistic me has a hard time keeping up with the changes, always hoping things will be "just so". One day, the boy is the sweet little boy, always obedient. Then the next, its temper tantrum time. Or he catches some bug and falls sick, and there's the sleepless nights, the crying, the coaxing to eat the meds. Then when you think life is back to normal again, he starts to act up when you have guests, or starts having poop problems. Change really seems to be the only constant, especially with kids...
So I realized that like with all things, I must learn to let go. While I need to hold on fast to the things that matter (like God and family and friends), like how we hold on tight to the kite string even though the kite is tugging at our hands to fly away... I must also learn to let loose for the rest, and not sweat the small stuff. Must let out some string, so that the kite can catch the wind, and soar. And when I do, I'll be able to truly enjoy the journey that is life, imperfect though it is!

Pictures taken during the Kite Festival that was held over the weekend at Marina. Little boy had a great time flying his kite with his Ah Kong and Ah Ma. Were you at the festival too?
