All in a Parent's Day

Strava Day 187/75 Hard Off Phase Day 6. Outdoor workout and first liter is done. Scheduled to do full body strength later at the gym. Slept well and mood is stable, relatively lower anxiety compared to past days.

I was already outdoors by 5:40 and was able to take a semi-decent shot for my 5:55 photo series however, am choosing to Blip this one instead because it made me laugh and have a "parenting moment" with T.

Yesterday, we had a scheduled self-timed family portrait and as T was told to wear shoes, we discovered he doesn't know how to wear and tie his own shoes yet. Because of the home school/module based system he is now under and because he rarely has to wear shoes in the rarer times he goes outside, we had no idea he has not yet learned a basic skill. It appears that we/I might have pressured him into learning this immediately just to not hear any side comments from anyone at home.

Saw T writing/doodling in his journal last night and was just able to coax him into sharing it with me this morning. Surprised to see this was how he felt and even if I never used the word "dumb," that was how he perceived it. Had to kiss him and explain that it is not what I was saying and that we all could learn something new everyday even if we think we already know a lot.

Here's to you finding joy in the mundane. Have a good one!
