Soccer Mom?
Well not quite yet. And maybe never. But I am quietly bursting with happiness that my son participated in soccer clinic today - from beginning to end. Yippee! Quietly, because I am trying not to make a big deal about it. So when he came home with TripletDad, I just said, “Hey, welcome back. Where’s my hug?” and then stepped back and let him tell me about it if he wanted. He actually wanted TripletDad to tell me about it while he ran off to play with his sisters. But I am so happy he is trying! This is the first real trying he has done with anything we have offered to him. He is so strong willed. Teaching him to accept guidance without being overbearing (a mistake we have made in the past) is hard. Accepting that he might not have the same objectives we set for him (common parent pitfall through the ages, I know) is also hard. But we are trying. Trying together is all I can ask. Trying is what he did today. And I am so happy! 1 comments from 1 users
