A lovely reminder for all of us--at any age--to focus on what we can do instead of what we can't and to listen to our bodies. What a wonderful start in life for Seabass and a lovely thing you get to learn about being a parent. Thank you for this story.
Love this story! It’s always tricky—isn’t it?—to figure out which voices are the doubts and which are the heart. At least I often feel like I’m guessing. So happy that Seabass chose the right one for him that day! His strategy was superb—so smart and cool under pressure. I admire that a lot.
I love the attention you paid to the fine line between gently pushing and teaching our kids to listen to their instinct and know their bodies. Looking back, I was not a naturally pushy parent, but my kids weren't particularly competitive either.

You are not alone. Discerning the difference is hard, and sometimes it is only in hindsight that we learn whether we listened to our heart.

Loved the story If only we could package the excitement and the joy on Seabass’ face
