they love their skateboard as much as they love their scooter.
i guess, my boys are active in a sense that i don't allow them to watch much television. they spend most of their time engaging in outdoor activities or doing things together. i think that's what helped them become the person they are. i'm not saying my boys are the best, most behaved boys you'll see around. i spend most of my time (if i'm not at work) with them to help encourage their good character because i can when they're this young. parents are solely responsible of how their kids turn out. some may think that they're born this way, but i would challenge that remark. just like being at work, it's accountability. it's important for good discipline.
we also live in a culture that emphasize on winning or being the best, but that's never the case in our household. why would you teach that to your kids? i never want my kids to feel like they have to please or be nervous to fail. if you try your best, then that's all i want to see.
today, i wanted them to enjoy themselves. they developed their own liking and were never forced to try out skateboarding, but rather, they developed a love for it when they've spent over a year watching skaters board at the VAN STORE with papa while I shop. they love it so much and were beyond ecstatic when they got their skateboards this christmas from grandparents bui! when i found out that etnies skate park in lake forest was having an easter egg hunt. i was thrilled beyond words and saved this day just for them.
it was a $5 dollar donation for those who participated in the egg hunt. they had a crazy easter bunny on a skateboard. bounce houses for kids to enjoy. it was really fun and i'm glad my sisters decided to come out with me. with my dinosaur-looking body, i wouldn't have made it up and down the ramp with all three kids. i feel blessed and had a wonderful day.
besides the fun, we spent the rest of the day at a birthday party and baby shower. again, how i survived today is amazing. i live for my family.
love my boys. xoxo.
