Happiness Journal 15/9/25

First day of the school term, and I’m besieged by various tasks. Still, I left school early enough to pick up my boy 10 mins earlier than usual. What was noteworthy was that he was in a receptive mood to read a Chinese book with me. All his neurons had connected, lighting up his propensity for learning! I also applaud myself for having the patience to watch him struggle to read the words. Was excruciating as waiting for a sloth to move. But I should focus on the fact that he was WILLING to read and not demand to play games.
