Summer is almost over in Japan.
But it is hot.
My older son is 12 years old. He had a lot of his home works of his school and played badminton everyday this summer. So he was so busy.
He started Junior high school this April.
He is coerced into joining "after school clubs".(MUST)
His after school club is badminton. Doing sports is nice for young people. But "Too much is as bad as too little".
I wanted to have more time with my older son!

Yes, I belive our Summer will be just that hot too Lucy.
Tomas stars High School next year, he is also 12 years old.
It is good for your son that he has chosen badminton. Tomas plays Volleyball and some Football also.
I agree that too much of the extra sport would not be so good. Tomas trains once a week and plays once a week. I think that is fair for his age.
Homework is slowly increasing for Tomas, I think that is good in preparation of his High School next year.
It is nice to see this picture Lucy. I know we want more time with the children, but they grow up so fast don't they?
Hi Lucy,
Your picture looks like a very happy day at a beach.
In many wayss children have so many needs. It is always difficult to be a mother.
But also in many ways children grow up too fast and a mother wishes her child would be a young for much longer.
A mother wants the sweet cute baby who smiles when you feed or bathe him. A mother wants the charming toddler who gives her hugs and kisses everyday. A mother wants the school-child who loves the ice cream treats and who can tell her all the wonderful things he learned each day.
It is both sad and happy that a child grows up.
I am much older than you, and I know I never stop worrying about my daughter. She is all grown up, and I think it happened so quickly! But I worry about her.
Now she (my daughter) is an adult, and she is a pleasure to talk to. Your son will someday be an adult and you will be able to talk to him as a grown-up person. It is nice.
Age 12 is difficult for a mother. The child is part adult, part child.
I hope you understand what I'm saying? My best wishes for you. I know what you are experiencing. It is worth all the trouble and worry.
(Sorry for the long comment, and sorry for not writing to you for so long a time.)

Cazzie!!!
Your son plays Volleyball and Football! He is so tough. My son starts to play badminton since four months. He wants to be a good player. But he misses shuttlecocks.
Tess,
Thank you for comments.
When I and my sons waited at stoplights, my younger son wanted to hold hands with me. But my older son didn't want to do.
My oldr son grow up.
Someday, if I am more old, I hope he hold hands with me...
I'm sorry I have lazy. And My older son used my PC for doing his home works this summer.
By the way, Influenza is now raging throughout Japan. I am afraid of it.. Anyway we are nice yet.
Lucy,
Your older son is an age, especially for boys, when children do not want mothers to be seen by their friends. It will change again!
Your news about the influenza is not good. I have not been listening to the news for a few weeks. It is frightening.
I want to ask you a question about something that is Japanese culture. I hope you can tell me. A reader of my blog wants to know.
He is a storyteller. He is doing this:
Kamishibai street show, I ‘d like to offer to kids some traditional “MILK Senbei”
If you know any ideas, email me or comment on my blog. I made a post with more information. Thank you whether you can tell me or not.
Tess
