As
the summer comes to a close, moments like these I like to reflect on.
Sitting in the sun, looking at him, wondering what that little mind is
thinking. What he is pondering, analyzing, focusing on, or just staring
into the distance daydreaming. If I could only read that little mind,
it could tell me what I could do to make things easier, or more helpful
to him. He can't tell me, but I wonder if he thinks it. My boy, I see
as the greatest gift God could have given us. He has taught me to be a
stronger, more open minded mother. Instead of just me teaching him the
basics, he is teaching me a much more influential thing, and that is
understanding. You don't realize how much understanding you have until
it is put to the test. I look at this affectionate sweet boy; who needs
me to be the most understanding person in his life, and I now know I am
prepared. He will need me to be there, to make him feel that it's ok
to make a mistake, it's ok to not know certain things, it's ok to get
frustrated and it's ok to feel proud when something is
accomplished....and I will be there, and as perceptive as I can possibly
be.
Makes you think, who is the novice and who is the teacher? :)
