Looking Ahead

You can never really envision the future. You have no clue what your kids will end up liking or doing.

But when I see Justin and his continued lack of interest in sports and other activities, I really wonder what his thing will be. The only thing I ever can see him doing is something with music. He loves music. Always has. He is very good with remembering lyrics and carrying a tune. It's quite impressive to me.

But I still can never picture what he will do with it. He's too young to really know if he'll play an instrument. He says he wants to play piano, but it's hard to say if he will.

Whenever I ask him if he wants to join something like Tae Kwan Do, he says no. He says he's waiting to be older so he can join chorus. Oh course, by then, he will probably be like most boys and think it's not cool to be in chorus. Or, he'll be the odd man out and join anyway and be the lone boy amoung all the girls. Hard to say what he will want to do.

Tonight was the first time I envisioned him doing something. We brought the kids to see The Melodies of Christmas. And that I could picture. Singing or playing. Either one. But I can see him doing that in high school. Heck, why not? Mick played in the band. I love glee club. It's in his blood. Now, I'm not saying he'd be good enough to want to or be able to be in the NYS Youth Orchastra, but I can totally picture him in his high school band or chorus.

But only the future will tell....


Oh, and what do I see Sarah doing? As of now, I see her playing soccer.
