Greetings y'all ,
Well yesterday was yet
another wondrous and loving day with the boy wonder . We had a snow
delay and since we don't watch the telly or play electronics before
school Ace created his own indoor Olympics
while I read a biography of Socrates and ironically ate Greek yogurt . Oh sweet irony how I love you .
I
had the time of my life laughing with junior mint as he created games ,
called the play by play and color commentary, received his medal (which
he made) and just enjoyed being a kid. I loved it ! He was playful and
quirky and full of creativity yet was mindful of the neighbors and
didn't run or jump. He just "skied " Much jocularity !
At
school he's still working on not letting others push his buttons but
when you spend all day with the same six kids all if whom are expect
button pushers it's hard not to respond . It's a surreal setting devoid
of reality but with an excellent teacher and IA. It's the system that's
broken. Quite honestly if the system worked then kids wouldn't be
repeating their patterns . My child included. He needs the chance the
learn to fail and succeed with a broader scope of friends and classmates
. Naturally , there will be some negative backlash for me posting this.
However my child is being stymied. I suppose I am expressing this
because I see similar behavior in my school but the kiss are treated as
kids and are not under a microscope and therefore they flourish , grow
and learn. I reiterate he has a top notch teacher and IA who support
us. Alas tis only my humble opinion but I know my child better than
anyone and can only hope he's given the opportunity to learn with a
wider base of students. Isolation leads to isolation and a Plato's cave
view of the world, mindset and skills.
Last
night was a fun filled electronic free night with reading to each other
, extra math, playing ball outside, and snuggling . I'm a pretty lucky
fella.
Love , I titled this post love , but why
? Great question , thank you for asking . My son and have found that we
can love people and ourselves by seeing the best in all. Does that mean
we love each person ? Well it's hard , especially after what we've
experienced.lately Yet because of what we've experienced lately we've
discovered we can love each person , not always the act but light inside
each individual. Whether is potential light or kinetic light shining,
we look for the light. Therefore we love .
To receive love , first one must give love.
Ok
folks I was up early today and have read , worked out and now blogged.
It's only 6am. I think it's coffee and more reading time . Thanks for
reading again today.
