As school starts again this week, each one did something that
warmed my heart or that I will remember. Small things but important to me
nevertheless.
Beauty-coming
in last night to my room so gently and asking me to rub her shoulders and put
Volartin on her. So sweet and loving and beautiful. The beginning of many
shoulder rubs for this dancing group A girl. Her big hugs to me after. Her
waking up so early each morning (not a morning person!) no complaints to make
time to straighten hair and groom for school. The girl impresses me with her dancer’s
discipline. Also the way she is so organized and passionate and happy about high
school. She is afraid of NOTHING. I love
the ways she texts me afterschool right on time with” ILY”
Bear:
OMG! Decided to ride to school on bike today with bunch of friends. And back.
Ok..school is damn FAR AWAY! Left house at 6:30am!!! Also has 3 hrs. of defi
sport biking in curriculum today..Biking home and then has 2.5 hrs. Of
competitive kayak. The kid is a MACHINE!!!! And then he will do lots of homework
and put on two loads of laundry and be pleasant through dinner. And he has an amazing
academic record and the teachers all happy he is in their class and tell him
(lots of pressure on his siblings as it is always “Oh are you Bear’s sister or
brother!!!!!”) His energy, passion and motivation just impress me to no end.
Chase; He
was so darn sweet and cute this weekend. Kept smelling my hair as I used the
same shampoo apparently as the girl he likes. He is 4 inches taller than me now
so kinda hugs me and leans my head on his shoulderJ He is just so loving and
kind and affectionate and I am so glad he has never lost this part of him
through growing up. Tonight he is going to "the girl’s" house for dinner to meet
the parents (his suggestion!) and once a week at school they have to wear the whole
kit “uniform officielle” with shirt and tie and vest. I must be the only mother
on earth who doesn’t like my kid in this outfit…a bit geeky even I findJ so I tell him-“make sure to
bring shorts and a t-shirt to change into” –he agrees the whole shirt and tie
thing-just not the first impressions he wants to make (I know a bit weird I just have
never liked young boys in suits and ties!!!-men
are cute at work though in them once ina whileJ))
i alos told him to bring a toothbrush. What kinda mother am I???
My Protector:
this week especially I have seen passion that has come through in two areas for
him-and it makes me happy. Reading-like me now…he can’t seem to get enough of
it. We read almost nightly together and
both always have a book going. He used
to be only an avid vacation reader but now like me a daily reader. Love this. And
classical choir singing. He chose 4 very important choirs to audition for in
next 7 days and one of them very famous. Good for him! Problem is this morning
his jaw locked (second time in last year L(((He
is auditioning tomorrow night for the most important one to him L(Very sad as he can barely
eat-so singing can pose a serious challenge. I am confident it will all work
out—it has too!!!! It is so rare he wants something like this. The universe needs
to take care of My Guy..serioulsy universe give him a break ok???
