I just know that my Moose could be a brilliant artist or writer, but he stopped trying quite young, because, "why compete?" On the other hand, I would never try to match wits with him in math.<br /><br />Myrtle has finally come to a point where she will make strides, not worrying so much about the fact that Mom does it better, but Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802695378617927299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21359414.post-18481669064105828342006-08-23T07:35:00.000-05:002006-08-23T07:35:00.000-05:00Mama,

You had an amazing talent for it which is probably why you are having a hard time letting the children struggle. I tended to hover when you were practicing piano.

It is such a love of mine that I try to make theirs perfect, forgetting tht they're kids, and that if I make it a lesson, it won't be enjoyable... <br /><br />I've learned, with much difficulty, not to bbe so anal about spelling and grammar, so they can learn to love it as I do.<br /><br />And like you, I wonder what else I've done this Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06383001784323104995noreply@blogger.com
