We want Finn to take basketball cause he doesn't have a sport and somewhere I read that boys who participate in sports actually do better in the corporate world cause they speak "sportese?" And being a mom who knows how important it is to guide him in the ways of the round holed world, know he must try out. But...
(oh you knew that but was coming didn't you???)
But....
I really want him to take singing lessons. He has a natural musical ability and he loves theater and if he decides to pursue this in later years (not sure how I feel about that), he's going to need to be well versed or well sung as the case may be.
Hmmmm. Finn is not a busy kind of kid. There are people who thrive on the multitude of stuff to do, this is not my child. He loves being a slug. And to him a perfect weekend is to slump on the couch, actually meld with it.
So, do we do both this semester? Plus he has art enrichment. And he may or may not want to do the drama program at boys and girls club run by Dennis who throws in a dinner at subway most weeks.
We are abiding by Finn's decision. It's not that he doesn't want to try basketball, he does. But he only wants to focus on one new thing a semester. This felt like a fairly wise choice to me.
So we start his singing lessons the beginning of October and the sports will wait till winter.
