Deep breath day today.
Jade is busy at Art camp and Nate and I are spending this week of summer vacation together. He is a challenging little man with lots to learn and I believe I have lots to learn on how to parent him.
We are encouraging Nate to ride his bike, swim, and write. Those are our summer challenges or obstacles, depends on how you look at it. The problem is Nate has a habit of digging his heels in and if he does not want to do something....good luck getting him to cooperate. He is determined and strong willed....hopefully he will find a passion in his life that will be helped by those character traits. Till then I will be taking lots of deep breaths.
