MY SON!

My son came back from school and showed me his notebook eagerly, where he had jotted down all his assignments. I was pleasantly surprised and deeply pleased that he was taking my advice to heart and taking proactive steps to improve his grades.

Today, I fried some fish, a dish all my kids love. I was overjoyed to see them enjoying the fish, especially since they usually dislike it. I've decided that I'll buy more for them next time. After lunch, my son told me that he'd only rest for 5 minutes before tackling his assignments. He explained his desire to become the top student in his class and asked if I could get him the Minecraft game. I reassured him that he didn't need to be the top student; all he had to do was focus on learning and showing improvement. I love my son, and I'll definitely get him the game.

He thrives on praise, and I need to remind myself to use this strategy for all my kids, including myself. I want to acknowledge my own achievements, like making money online while being a stay-at-home mom. Even though I'm not making a substantial amount now, I know I will someday. I need to find a way to stay focused and work towards that goal.

The most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me in my life is having my four amazing kids. And to my baby boy, whom I lost, I miss you dearly!
