Recently Dear Son has become infatuated with growing taller. Last Saturday morning when he awoke, he came into our bedroom and the following conversation occured:
Son: Look how much taller I am?
Us: what?!?
Son: Can you tell, I grew much taller in my sleep… Overnight?
Us: OH WOW, look at you.
Son: I know, look how much TALLER I AM!!!
Us: I KNOW, WOW! How did you get so tall, just overnight?
Son: I slept really GOOD and now LOOK how tall I am…
These types of conversations are now occurring frequently after each nap or in the morning when he awakes. It truly is precious. I am really starting to get convinced he is growing taller!

Lately Dear Son has been convinced he is JJ the Jet Plane, running around the backyard, arms out to his side, wind blowing thru his blond hair – seemingly free as a bird… to him he is flying.
When he races, which is frequently now, he says “I’m JJ the Jet Plane.” The freedom of imagination, where it can take us – no limits, no boundries, follow our dreams. As adults, we should hold on and capture that feeling, that freedom and remember it in times of trouble and times of searching.
Lets go to Wikipedia for some help…
Expectations:
- The act or state of expecting or looking forward to an event as about to happen.
- That which is expected or looked for.
- The prospect of the future; grounds upon which something excellent is expected to occur; prospect of anything good to come, esp. of property or rank.
- The value of any chance (as the prospect of prize or property) which depends upon some contingent event.
Expectancy:
- expectation or anticipation; the state of expecting something
- the state of being expected, or something expected
.
I am currently reading “The Shack” by William Young, in this book it talks about living in a state of expenctancy in relationships verse pressing expectations on relationships which cause laws and rules to come into play. I would much rather live my life going forward in a state of EXPECTANCY then with expectations, it seems much more free.
