Sambo filled in for me until I could get to B's end of year party. |

Sambo and I have differing opinions on the first year of high school. I think I struggled more than he did with it. Sam's learning himself and how he learns best. He made it through 6 years of school without us realizing he was dyslexic. Some of that was him just being bright enough to figure things out without being able to read all the words. As the work is getting harder, he's learning when he needs his accommodations and how to make sure he gets them. I think he sees the need for his accommodations more. Athletically, Sam tried a new sport - powerlifting - and returned to baseball after not playing for 3 years. His drive amazes me!

I struggled this year with mommy-guilt. Am I doing enough? Am I doing the right things? What should I be doing? There were times when I thought I had it all together only to have it fall apart the next day.
I'm learning how to be the momma of teenage boys. I want them to talk more. They want to work out and sleep more. But God is teaching us all. We just have to remember to let Him lead. That's really been the biggest lesson I've learned this year: to pray for God's leadership and guidance.
One thing is for sure, I am so proud to be their momma. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I'm so glad God chose them for me.
What did you learn about your kids or yourself this school year?
