Grateful to remind myself if I support my kid without too much pressure and if I make it about him and not me, he has a much better chance of succeeding in life
This is so true. I think you're doing a wonderful job with Sonny Boy, and he sounds like quite an accomplished smart young man. I always wanted to have a boy so I could raise a sensitive man. God gave me four daughters and two of them gave me... five grandsons! God laughed at me and said, I'll give you some boys...

Grateful tonight for Billie's endless devotion. My ambition in life really is to be the person Billie thinks I am. My dad got me a ceramic paperweight that said the same thing, only not specific to Billie. He knows how much I love my critters. Grateful too, so very grateful, that he and my mom allowed and encouraged us to have pets. We grew up knowing empathy first hand.
