I, too, have a son who is much like your son. He WILL NOT do anything until he is good and ready. But, once ready, tends to dive in. It can be frustrating as he has told me from the time he could speak that I am not the boss of him--he is the boss of him. And, at nearly 18, not much has changed. He has learned sometimes to dive in sooner, but basically it's still the same. I used to be frustrated all the time, until I tried to think about what I was learning from his experiences. I have learned to be patient. I have learned to be quiet. I have learned to bite my tongue at times [which is a very tough lesson for me]. I have learned to grit my teeth. I have learned to let it go. I put all these lessons to the test and I watched him finally click "send" on the college applications December 30 that I have been stressing over for almost a year. And so it goes. Hope you and your family have a wonderful 2011. Hooray for all of the above. I, too, have a son who is much like your son. He WILL NOT do anything until he is good and ready.

And a boy at that! I hope mine will one day show an interest in it one day. I can’t think of a better way to start 2011 than with a new knitter! And a boy at that!
