This is his attitude towards high school.
Wrestling with dad did not go as planned.
So he decides to try to pick his dad up. With his neck of course.
weird.
He's my boy and I want to take care of him like I always have. Well, it's a habit to take care of him as I've always have. It's an age where I'm doing less but observing more. He didn't ask for anything special for his birthday. His birthday fell on a Saturday this year. We decided since we had to be open the Saturday after thanksgiving that we would take off on black Friday. We had a slow morning, went shopping and went to a Chinese buffet for dinner. He was perfectly happy with this low key day. He also enjoyed spending most of his actual birthday on the phone with his best friend while playing video games.
I like that my son doesn't expect or need extravagance to have a good time.
He is learning all the skills he's going to need to be an independent young man. He can cook a few things (thank god for the microwave) He does his laundry, he cleans, he vacuums, he washes dishes. He is still too afraid to get his drivers permit. Personally I'm ok with that for now. He needs to become a little more comfortable with oven and stove top cooking. He can do it, but he is still very nervous about it. He's learning (by force) to save at least some of every dollar that comes into his hands. I'm hoping it sticks.
He's REALLY into video games. I mean REAAALLY. His goal is to get into the coding and gaming classes at James Rumsey Technical school for his junior year. His hope (and ours as well) is for him to go to DeVry when he graduates high school. We'll see how all this shakes out.
I feel like he's afraid to be a grown up. He knows whats coming and he'd rather stay in kid land as long as he can. I like that he's aware of what's coming but it makes me sad that he's so stressed about it.
I'm so proud of my guy. Whatever comes, comes. I'll always be there for him..
Mom loves you woobie!
