walking my son

walking my son to school is slightly different from walking my daughter. he's in afternoon session and we usually take and umbrella for shade. he likes to wear a cap and will hand it back to me once he's in the school compound.

when you walk with him, you'll want to hold his hand tightly as he will sometimes trip and fall. good thing he does not carry the bag himself.

being the second child, he really enjoys this time where he is the focus of attention, he'll talk and asks you things and will be surprised that you know the answer... makes you feel like the smartest dad in the whole wide world.

it's different walking both of them, one will ask you concept questions and the other 'curiosity' questions. it's nice walking them both to and fro from school. guess i enjoy the time spent alone with them too.

we (my wife and i) used to take them out individually, give them a treat and chat with them like they're adults - sort of like get to know you sessions, they really enjoy it. you'll be surprised how different they can be when they're alone with you. if you have not done it, i recommend it.

enjoy
