Haven't shared much positive about difficult child lately but I do have a funny to share.
First a little history. When difficult child goes to the playroom at the health club once in a great while there is this one girl there his age. Last summer he informed us he and she decided they were boyfriend and girlfriend. They have probably only seen each other a few times since then.
Fast forward to this past Monday. He saw her in the playroom. When he came out he told me, "Mom, (said the girl's name) and I broke up and I didn't even know it. We've been broken up for months."
I asked if he was upset. He said he was and that she said she has another boyfriend. I comforted him and he was fine but it was hard not to giggle out loud.
Of course, it also shows difficult child's line of thinking. Even though he hadn't seen her in months he thought they were still going out!
One other positive. With lots of help from husband and a bit from me, difficult child finished his first real project for school. It was a science fair experience. He built a lego racer and tested it out on different surfaces-even built a ramp with husband. He has been really excited about it. He only has to tape on his pictures and he is done!
