| Mother & Son Dance - Laser Lights |
It was the
end of high school football season and my son was not playing a second sport
this time. This left him free to help me with a work activity. It was early in
the week when I asked, “Hey do you want to volunteer at my Mother & Son
dance at work? There will be other high school students helping.”
“I guess, if
you really need me.”
My son
worked the dance with me. I didn’t know it would be that easy to get him to do
it. It’s never that easy. He actually got out onto the dance floor when the
Wobble (hip hop dance) blasted through the speakers. We danced side by side as he asked me, “What
do you know about that song?”
We leaned
and rocked along with the other Moms and sons until the end of the song. Then I
sent my son back to his volunteer duties. The dance was a time for mothers or
mother figures to bond with their young man. If you’re looking for bonding
experiences with your little guy, below are some suggestions.
1. Volunteer together – this time for my
son and I the mother/son dance was a chance for us spend time together. When my
boys were younger, we delivered meals on wheels to homebound senior citizens on
Christmas. They still talk about that experience that was over seven years ago.
2. Visit a museum or aquarium
3. Play a video game
4. Go on a hike
5. Attend a sporting event – the options
are many in this area. You can attend a little league event, catch a college
game or even a professional game in your area. My younger son and I took a road
trip an hour away to watch his brother play basketball. This gave us one on one
time together.
6. Read – select an interactive book and
act out parts as you read.
7. Watch a movie
