4 weeks ago if you asked me what I had learn other than school stuff I would have told you nothing. I had not really learned a thing. I had not given my self any goals to think of other than the "get school done." Nor had I thought about what goals that I should have for the boys. I mean we were going day to day doing the same thing over and over again. School, home, school, home.
Though I had tried to do different things with the boys here at home I just found they would rather be else where and why fight it. This year I plan on trying things different. I feel that this Christmas break has taught me about what I take for granted. Time with my children and teaching them how to live in this society. They need to start learning now, how to care for themselves when I am not here. But how do you teach a almost 4 year old who doesnt want to do anything unless its his idea and a 5 year old who wants to be any place other than home?
So that is my goal. To show them Home is where the heart is.
It is were the table is ready for anyone to sit at it and imaging. That their room is a place were dreams come true and the beds can be a ship on the high seas or a fort to keep the enemy away. I want to show them and imagine with them. It might be alittle hard at first. But I know it can be done.
I also want to teach them how to be gentlemen, men among men.
These last few months have been trying for me, with Kevin being the stay at homer and me the one at work I have found I have missed the once was. I miss sitting on the couch with the boys listening to it rain and watching cartoons with them. But I love when they see me and run up to me and hold me close in their tiny arms.
So goals for 2009.
1. Imagine with my boys.
2. Play with my boys.
3. Teach them its ok to be gentlemen among men.
4. Help them to dream and create.
