Mathias Update [EN]//[ES]
They say it well: the good son always comes home! I may not be the best daughter in this house, but I'm back, ha ha ha. after more than two months without writing here, I'm back. My motherhood depends on Mathias, and Mathias's life has been quite eventful these last few months, which has meant that I've been busier than usual. That, combined with work, doesn't leave me much free time to write here, and ideas weren't flowing in the best way to share with you everything that was happening. Mathias has grown a lot in every way, academically, musically, and personally, which is normal for his age. The truth is that this little whirlwind fills me with pride in every way. Although he still causes the occasional mess at home, his behavior has improved a lot, and music has had a positive influence on that.
My little giant has taken on new challenges in recent months, finishing his school year with excellent results in both music and academics. His progress with the double bass has been remarkable, and although he is studying informally this year, he had his evaluation, which will allow him to advance further in the next school year. We hope that next year he will be part of the pre-children's orchestra. For now, he is the youngest double bass player at the music school. You can't imagine how much joy studying this instrument brings him. Even his other teachers notice it and let me know.
Music has become such a blessing in my son's life. I still remember when, a few years ago, his hyperactivity frightened me, because sometimes I couldn't get him to look at me for more than a few seconds, or even hold my hands. because he couldn't stand having his hands still. That need of his, to always be on a screen, changed thanks to music. He is still restless and wants to play with screens when he gets bored, but I now have the tool to dispel that uncontrollable desire. Some of his instruments help me, of that I have no doubt.
After Mother's Day, Mathias came home very happy because he had been given a preliminary audition and had been chosen to participate in the selection process for the Villa de Cura Children's Choir School, a regular school that focuses mainly on music education and is recognized nationally and internationally. It was no surprise to me, as I know how much he has grown in that area. However, at that moment, I felt upset because, although I knew that this school would maximize his musical abilities, it is also a very demanding school in terms of behavior, and we know that Mathias is not the best in that regard. In addition to this, when I withdrew him from the school where he studies, they made me sign a document renouncing his place there, meaning that he could not return there if things did not work out. From that point on, my stress level increased significantly, and I ended up biting my nails, and we had not even reached the selection process yet.
The days leading up to the selection of the Niños Cantores choir were crazy. Mathias felt that he would be transferred to another school and began to neglect his schoolwork. He was more distracted than usual. It was total madness, but he continued to perform as well as ever at music school. He felt that it was a foregone conclusion that he would be transferred to another school. Unfortunately for him, the weekend before the selection, he fell ill, and when it was his turn to attend the series of tests to see if he would be among the 50 selected out of 220 children, he was hoarse for at least four days as a result of the virus he had contracted. This is why he was left out the first week. He was sad for a couple of days, but thanks to one of his music teachers and the support of my parents, it didn't get any worse, as I've heard of children who remain depressed for months.
One of the things that helped us greatly to overcome the situation with Mathias was talking to him a lot, reinforcing how good he is at music, and letting him know that external factors often affect our lives and the course of our lives. Fortunately, he understood it perfectly, and we continued with his activities. He got back into his normal rhythm and left his laziness and distractions at school behind, managing to finish the school year with excellent grades. So, we are officially moving on to fourth grade.

Bien lo dicen por ahí ¡El buen hijo siempre vuelve a casa! Probablemente, no sea la mejor hija de esta casa, sin embargo, he vuelto jajaja, luego de más de 2 meses sin escribir por aquí, regrese, mi maternidad depende de Mathias, y la vida de Mathias ha estado bastante acontecida estos últimos meses, lo que ha generado que yo esté más ocupada de lo que acostumbro, eso aunado al trabajo, no me deja mucho tiempo libre para escribir por aquí, eso y que las ideas no fluyeran de la mejor manera para compartir con ustedes todo lo que estaba pasando. Mathias ha crecido mucho en todos los sentidos, académica, musical y personalmente, algo normal para su edad, la verdad es que este pequeño ciclón, me llena de orgullo desde todo punto de vista, aunque aún hace uno que otro desastre en casa, su comportamiento ha mejorado muchísimo, la música ha influido de manera positiva en ello.
Mi pequeño gigante ha asumido nuevos retos estos últimos meses, culmino de manera excelente su año escolar tanto en la parte musical como en la escolar, sus avances con el contrabajo han sido notorios, y aunque este año lo curso de manera informal, tuvo su evaluación, que le permitirá avanzar más en el próximo año escolar, esperamos que el próximo año forme parte de la orquesta pre infantil, por el momento es el contrabajista más pequeño de la escuela de música. No imaginan la alegría que le genera estudiar este instrumento, incluso sus otros profesores lo notan y me lo hacen saber.
La música se ha convertido en una bendición tan grande en la vida de mi hijo, aún recuerdo cuando algunos años atrás, su hiperactividad me generaba temor, pues, en ocasiones no lograba que es mantuviera su mirada en mí por unos cuantos segundos, o al menos sostener sus manos en las mías, pues él no toleraba tener las manos tranquilas, aquella necesidad de él, por estar siempre en una pantalla, cambio gracias a la música, aún es inquieto, y quiere estar jugando con pantallas cuando se aburre, sin embargo, tengo la herramienta para disipar ese deseo incontrolable, alguno de sus instrumentos me ayuda, de eso no me queda la menor duda.
Luego del día de las madres, Mathias llego a casa muy contento, pues le habían hecho una pre audición, y había sido escogido, para participar en el proceso de selección para la escuela de los Niños Cantores de Villa de Cura, una escuela regular que se enfoca mayormente en la educación musical, reconocida nacional e internacionalmente, para mí no fue ninguna sorpresa, pues sé lo mucho que ha crecido en ese aspecto, sin embargo, en ese momento me sentí contrariada, pues, aunque sabía que esa escuela explotaría al máximo sus aptitudes musicales, también es una escuela muy exigente en cuanto a comportamiento se dice, y sabemos que, Mathias por esa parte, no es el mejor, aunado a esto, al retirarlo de la escuela en donde estudia, me hacían firmar un documento en donde renuncio al cupo allí, es decir, no podría regresar nuevamente allá, si las cosas no salían bien, desde allí comenzó mi mayor carga de estrés, me termine acabando las uñas y aún no llegábamos al proceso de selección.
Los días previos a la selección de Niños Cantores, se convirtieron en una locura, Mathias sentía que sería cambiado de escuela y comenzó a descuidar sus actividades en el colegio, estaba más distraído de lo normal, fue una total locura, en donde continuaba con el mismo rendimiento, era en la escuela de música, él sentía que ya era un hecho que se iría a la otra escuela, para su desdicha, el fin de semana anterior a la selección, enfermó, y cuando le toco asistir a la serie de pruebas para ver si quedaba en los 50 seleccionados, de 220 niños que había, estuvo al menos 4 días con ronquera, producto del virus que contrajo, razón por la cual quedo fuera la primera semana, estuvo triste un par de días, pero, gracias a uno de sus profesores de música y al acompañamiento de mis padres, no paso a mayores, pues he escuchado de niños que duran meses deprimidos.
Una de las cosas que nos ayudó muchísimo para superar la situación con Mathias, fue hablar mucho con él, reforzar lo bueno que es en la música, y hacerle saber que muchas veces factores externos afectan nuestra vida y el curso de la misma, por suerte, él lo entendió de la mejor manera, y continuamos con sus actividades, retomo su ritmo normal y dejo la pereza y distracción en el colegio, logrando culminar su año escolar con una calificación excelente, así que, oficialmente nos vamos a cuarto grado de primaria.

Muchos éxitos y bendiciones para ti y tu pequeño
Amén, amén, amén, gracias por tus buenos deseos
You are doing an amazing job supporting Mathias through his journey. It's so inspiring to see how music became his outlet and how you're guiding him with so much love and patience. Cheering on you, momsh.
Music has definitely been a great blessing in our lives, and we have also met wonderful people along the way. Thank you for your words, I am very happy to read them.
You're an amazing mother, I'm sure your son is proud to have you. Keep supporting him and you'll see him in places you couldn't reach and he will make you proud.
Well done mama.
He is already doing it. Even at his young age, he has done things that I never imagined he could do. His courage and strength are a great example to me. Thank you for your beautiful words. Blessings to you and yours.
That's nice to hear. Thanks.

Wow oooo, a very talented child indeed, he is moving forward through his multiple talents to the top of his life very soon. You are doing very well, ma.
He makes me very happy, he really is my pride and joy, even though he has his moments of mischief and whims. Thank you for your kind words, blessings to you and yours.
You are welcome 🤗.
Jajajaj! la cara de Mathi! Dios lo bendiga.
Un día tiene que deleitarnos con una pieza tocada por ese gran instrumento!!!
Vamos Mathi! Tú puedes <3
Manzanita, eres grande! mi admiración por ti.
Esperemos que se pula bien y pierda el miedo a la cámara, para compartir con ustedes lo que él puede hacer, pues ahí donde lo ves, se presenta ante 500 personas tranquilamente y cuando le digo que lo voy a grabar, se pone nervioso jajaja.
Gracias por tus palabras, mi querida Isabella, tú también eres grande
Hola, me gustan sus fotos.
Congratulations to you and Mathias for his moving up! Great job, mama. You've done really well in helping Mathias. All that stress you experienced were all worth it.
Without a doubt, all the stress has left us with a great reward. The next school year will be better. Thank you for your words. Blessings to you and yours.
Dios lo cuide, exitos
Amén, amén, amén
Keep building your son abilities into music. I'm happy just for the fact he has assisted into an audition! Imagine you, and how proud you definitely should feeling! All the best for both, sincerely!!
We continue working on it. It's a journey that has only just begun. He likes it, he's good at it, so we have to keep supporting him.
