The happiest son, the happiest mom
I must admit I give so much love to my son and he returns the same to me.
We arrange him a lot of activities, such as chess, hockey, basketball, swimming, piano and Chinese besides his homework. He is merely 7 years old. Sometimes I do agree with him, he does not have much time to play. But I want him not only develop the skills of a few sports and music, but also enjoy them. I hope he eventually will appreciate the beauty and the strength from these hobbies. Like me, today I really enjoy writing and reading. They become an important part of me, they complete my life. They are a part of my life.
As adult, we not only need our social roles, but also need to be ourselves.
We need a room for ourselves. We need something to fulfill ourselves.
Though Jason still need my pressure to continue practice his skills, he really enjoy each of these classes. He saw how better he improved through those special classes and he also
Saw how many good competitors there were in each field. He learned to enjoy and make friends. He learned working hard.
I remember when he first joined the basketball club, he was the youngest. Other kids told him, Chinese were no good at basketball. He came back and asked me why they said that.
I told him to go back and to ask them if they know Yao Ming. “He is a Chinese, now one of the best player in USA”
At first, in the team, other kids didn’t want to pass ball to him since he didn’t shoot well. But after half year, now they often pass ball to him. They are friends and team player too.
Besides Jason is good at basketball. Jason has tried soccer at five years old, but I don’t think he will fit it very well. For basketball and piano, I insist him keeping going because I know he has good sense of balance, good bouncing skill and energy, sensitive music ear.
But sometimes it is hard to push since he is still a kid, so we let it be. All these classes
If he can focus two, I think it is good enough. Like myself, I have many hobbies, but eventually I only can focus one or two. The most important is Jason has sense of humor; it is rare in most of kids. He can make friends with anyone. He can make people relax.
I lack this kind of skills; I wish I have it too.
Many friends praise Jason, so gorgeous and polite. Indeed, as a boy, he sure sometimes is naughty, but never make troubles. If I am really mad, he will apology. I always ask him never let small thing ruin his day. And enough is enough, let us be happy and enjoy each minute. We do homework together, he does his, I do mine. (like now, coviews.com or other writing, reading) . We play snow together, we watch TV together. Sometimes, I really think I can be a kid too. The happiest son, the happiest mom.
