Motherhood Mondays – Sing a Song

I have never been much of a singer, I can carry a tune but my vocal range is very limited and sing too softly. Hb is though, he serenaded me at our second date and sang live in front of our wedding guests.

K enjoys singing and loves to compose his own songs. Recently, I found him listening to granddad’s music on his iPad and singing along with it, during one of his ‘eye-training’** evenings.

Did he used to do the same when he was younger? Excuse me while I reminisce the days when he was still a tot at 2 and a half.

**A separate note about his eye training; I am heartened to share that his left eye’s vision has improved! We visited his opthamologist last week and were told that his eye test have improved by 1.5 lines. To further improve his sight, he will need to increase eye training to 4 hours daily. It will be tough to increase eye training sessions, but we will get there, eventually.

LandscapefinalK’s landscape creation after 10 weeks of art classes

 

I have always loved capturing landscapes with my camera. My only limitation is this, I don’t get to travel often or far enough to capture this sort of landscape through my lens.

Looking at this picture that K has completed this week showed me how we view landscapes is parallel to how we view our lives. Many times I find myself so occupied with the here and now, that I lose sight of the big picture of things.

‘Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance.’ ~ Charles Linbergh

Despite the challenges of the daily grind, and of certain days that make me feel a lot less hopeful than others. I always need to remind myself to look up and out of the place that I have been, into a place where hope lives. A place where I have learnt to be content to be where I am and be energized again to move forward.

Photo *Heart* Fridays – Take the Plunge!

Watching him dived off the edge made me nervous.

What if he loses his balance?

What if he knocks his head on the side of the wall?

Before letting him dive off, I set a couple of ground rules. “No spinning… take a big leap from the wall..no monkeying around when u jump…focus on the jump…make sure that the water is deep enough…”

He is only 5 and can surely do with some tips from his mom on how to make a safe jump into the pool.

Seeing him display so much enthusiasm and the lack of fear to take the plunge off the edge, reminds me that sometimes it might be worthwhile to take risks in my life, and take a plunge into that very thing which will make me nervous. Who knows what pleasant surprises could be in store?
