My son's 5th birthday
July 27th 2007 15:58
Good morning everybody,
Hope you are all well today. First of all, I have to apologize for not writing yesterday. The day,just got away from me. I was going to write about something else today, but I will save the topic. My son is turning 5 on Monday. I know I could have waited until Monday to write about that, but that day, I do have a different topic. Anyway, I know everybody says that it just seems like yesterday that they were born, but I really do feel that way. I have written about my son before, ages ago. He is a very swet and sensitive kid. Very good-natured and tries to help everybody. For right now, everybody loves him, but I worry about what will happen when he gets older. I don't know if he has the temperament to defend himself in school from bullies. He has been going this year to speech therapy, because of what they call a lateral lisp. He has been making some progress, but again, it is another thing I worry about kids teasing him about. I remember how cruel kids can be. I was the same way as my son, when I was his age. I was extremely shy and sensitive and I was teased at certain times. I always had a lot of friends, but never in the cool crowd. I never got to do that, until college, and by that time, there aren't really crowds like that are there? In college, everything that I held back during life, came out and I made up for lost time...way too much. No drugs or anything like that, but I became very outgoing, the president of my fraternity and way too much of a player when it came to women. I want my son to have good experiences through his life. I try to nudge him a little now to do more things and I think it works a little, but he is the smallest in his class and he isn't as clear as some of the other kids when it comes to speaking. I hate worrying and I feel helpless when it comes to these things. There are certain things you can protect your kids from and some you can't. I try to get him to stand up for himself. It doesn't help that he is the middle child between two sisters either. One of my friends told me that it will be horrible for a while growing up, that every date that he brings home, he'll have two girls saying, "Oh, I don't like her." My take is that he'll choose from his two sisters' friends who he wants to date. I have to say, that I love my two daughters with all my heart, they are so special to me, but every guy wants a son as well. You know, carry on the family name and all that, getting to do father-son things. He is my special big guy and I just want to say, "Happy Birthday, David!" Hope all of you have a great day as well.
Later,
Jonathan
