Happy Birthday Dr.Seuss!!! Today we celebrate the 108th birthday of one of my favorite authors! I LOVE to read. I LOVE to learn. I LOVE to read to my son and see his curious face study the pages of the books! Motherhood gives us a chance to teach our children numerous things and educate them on this thing we call life. I've noticed parents these days are allowing their children to play dumb or not really care about their education. Education to me is not only in school but in our everyday lives. I hope to one day educate my son on these things:
1. Manners. My fiance and I recently talked about raising our son to say "yes sir." and "no sir" . It's very sad how in this day and age the kids these days have a lack of manners. I hope my son remembers that manners come from his respect for people and that is always a quality you want to have.
2. Failure. If there is one thing each one of has been through at some point in life it's failure. I'm not saying I don't want my son to succeed but what I am saying is I want him to be able to get back up and work that much harder. I feel like too many of us moms don't want to see our children sad or hurt so we save them from any disappointment in life and really that's just setting them up to fail.
.
3. Integrity. This is one of those things I PRAY my son understands. I want him to be a man of integrity. To do good when nobody is looking,to help those in need without praise,and to know that doing the right thing when sometimes it's hard is always worth it.
4. Humbleness. My fiance is one of the most amazing men I know and one HUGE reason why I love him so much is how humble he is. He is amazing and successful at everything he does and yet you would never know it by how he talks about things. I hope my son is exactly like his father when it comes to this. I have seen kids talk about how they scored this many points or did this move to win the game but when it comes down to it those that have to brag usually are doing so because talk is the only thing they have.
5. How to value his education. I regret not putting everything I have and am into my schoolwork. I want my son to appreciate his teachers for everything they sacrafice to teach him. I want him to never be ashamed of being smart. I want him to love learning. I want him to be wise. I want him to be smart. I want him to always ask questions. I want him to strive to learn more. I want him to be that kid that reads ahead not to be number one but because he is so eager to continue to learn. I want him to know that his education is a gift. I want him to love to read and not on a nook,iphone,or any type of pad but real "paper pages" books. Why where else where he learn of all the "thinks he can think."except in a book of course.
