Who Am I? Who Could I Be?

If you click on the link above, you will see a flyer advertizing an opportunity to learn a few more techniques for becoming your ideal self. This flyer was passed on to me by my first Belly Dance Teacher. I tend to pay attention when she passes this type of thing on to me. I haven’t had a chance to go to one of these events, yet, because they’re a bit far from Petaluma, but I’m quite sure that it would be fun and life enriching.
Speaking of becoming your ideal self, I already see my how my son is much like me, in a big way. If you’re wondering if this is nurture or nature, I never taught him how to be a dreamer, and to get lost in his head, to the point where he rides the school bus to the end of the line, neglecting to get off at school. The stubborn streak may be another story.
Luckily, my son is also like his father in many of the ways that count- literally and figuratively. (He loves math). I always hated math, and many other subjects as well, until I got to college. My son on the other hand, finished his whole week of homework, last Mon. and insisted that he wanted to do more.
I was stymied. I didn’t want him going on to the point where the lessons would become a blur in his head, but I don’t want to stifle his love of learning, either. I also had to make sure that it was okay w/ his teacher to let him work ahead, into next weeks lessons.
My husband had a solution. He actually earned the title of Mathmatician in school, and will look at our son’s homework, and make up or find similar lesson papers, that will be fun for our son to do, and will supplement his math workbook.
Now if only he can come up w/ a solution for my son being the dreamer that I was, when I was his age………
