My Children's Passions

Over the last few months the boys have been training extremely hard in the sports that they love and, as a mother, watching them doing what they love is one of the most rewarding parts of parenting, after cuddles of course. 

Dylan loves doing taekwondo, and is very determined to do well.  He recently graded to his red belt and competed in another competition.  He lost his fight, but he tried so hard and it was very close.  As he has dyspraxia, he has always struggled with his coordination, but taekwondo has made the most amazing difference.  He found it difficult when he first started, but now you don't even notice his condition.  His coordination and balance have both improved, as well as his confidence.  He has such a good attitude, and never gives up.

Luke has been training hard in his three sports, taekwondo, street dancing and free running.  He is also very determined and looks forwards to training on an evening.  He has improved so much this year and loves practicing his flips on my poor bed.  He is doing another dance show in 6 weeks, and is really looking forwards to that.

Giving them the opportunity to follow their passions is very important to me, and nothing makes me happier then seeing my boys enjoying themselves, doing what they love.  They certainly make me very proud.
