Jonathen has this amazing new talent. Not only can he hula hoop he can hula hoop WHILE spinning himself at the same time. It is pretty impressive to witness. My favorite part was when he said “oh, I am really GOOD at something”. It tugged on my heartstring to hear the pride in his voice and pulled a little to know he didn’t feel that good at more.
He and I were just chatting the other day about this very thing. I was sharing with him that we all peak at different times. Some of his friends may be peaking now and know just what they are good at. Others, like his Mom, may peak when they are much older and that is okay. For it is what you do while you are waiting for your peak that makes the difference. Because one day when you reach your peak, it is amazing to learn how much of you was there all along and that all the things you were doing while waiting actually lead you right where you are suppposed to be.
I have to mention, we have another amazing hula hooper in the family, my Mom. She really impressed me with her hooping skills! I think she really impressed herself too. What a fun day.
