I hope my sons are ready... ready to:
- Be hopeful
- Be true to him self
- Be him self
- Use his talents
- Be "powerful beyond measure"
- Stop playing small
- Learn and demonstrate more knowledge and skills that will support his growth
My youngest son, Tee, is staying at his father's house during the school week, because we believe it would be a better fit for him... our family's version of Boys N tha Hood (smile). Our sons need different things right now. Tee needs the firmness of his father, and Dee needs the coaching of his mother right now, and when those needs change I am hopeful we will be able to adapt and adjust.
Wow, another year is starting and my BabyDaddy and I are getting better and better as co-parents. I am still smarter and have the better genes (smile), but I respect that he brings some strengths to this co-parenting team that sometimes (yes I said sometimes...lol) compliments my strengths and that is what makes this team work better. At this point in our journey I thank God we have grown more. Our growth gives me hope that we will continue to grow and get even better at this.
I usually write my sons notes and put them in their pencil cases,and this year will not break tradition. Since Tee already left to go to his father's house, I will have to bring him his note in the morning. Yes, I am still going with him to his first day of school... its more for me than for him, because he looked at me like I was crazy when I hugged him and told him I will see him in the morning as he was leaving to go with his father. Well I am going to go write my notes to my young men...
They get on my nerves sometimes but I love them being their mother is the hardest yet most rewarding responsibilities!
Hopeful and encouraged,
WonderWoman
