Our children are their own people, of course, with their own personalities, likes and dislikes. But sometimes, it's extraordinary the influence we wield as parents.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree with Boo Boo here, sitting down to read about the Holy Year of St. Paul in the latest "Inside the Vatican." We can't keep this issue away from him. Often, I'm trying to read it over breakfast and he begs for it; I have to hand it over, of course. (You just don't say no to requests like that!) He's even sneaked out of his room during quiet time to grab it for his perusal. I think the big horse in Caravaggio's portrayal of St. Paul's conversion is what really draws him in.
