He's off to school now. I made our traditional birthday pancakes. ...Anything to make today special. He said "I'm a tween now..that's what 11 & 12 year olds are called". He is in that inbetween stage. Sometimes he seems older. He says he doesnt 'play' anymore... then he seems so young and cuddles with his stuffed animals and wants to take one when we go out. He goes back and forth between wanting piano lessons --then not. I'm not the parent that will let my kid quit once he's commited to something. I gave him the choice and he said he wanted to go another year so we commited to another year.
I love my son more than I can say. I have so many hopes for him. I'm so amazed (all the time) with the things he figures out. He picks up on so much and he is so talented and smart. If I compared him to a character..I'd say he's like the Brain. He just knows things and knows how things will go..he thinks into the future..he plans things out and likes to know we'll be doing. He'll say out loud our itenirary and ask if that's right...to make sure he knows exactly what to expect. Sometimes he gets upset if we spring things on him. I don't know what he'll do--he has such potential for so many things. He is a good at anything he does.
I think about 11 years and 9 months ago..how excited I was..
11 years ago..I became a mom for the 1st time and I put everything into it. It has been(and still is) so rewarding. Being a mom is the most important job ever. We moms shape the future of the world. We're putting the next generation out there. I could be raising the next nobody.. or I could be raising the next greatest ?... who knows. Both my kids have potential to do and be great. When I put my time into them I feel like I'm doing good. I stayed at home for 5 years, which was a struggle financially. But even that short of a time was a huge benifit. I'm better because of my kids. I want to be a good parent and give them as much as I can, show them as much as I can, take them to as many places as I can... Love and hug them as much as I can.
I hope someday, way in the future(after college and marriage), my Son will have a child so that he will feel that "parent" love and he'll know how much I love him.
