Our county fair is going on through this weekend.  If anyone remembers, last year difficult child got into some sort of altercation that involved a knife he bought, or was given or something.  Details never were clear.


husband and I took Jess, a friend of hers, and thank you to the fair tonight.  Friend is sleeping over.  Ran into difficult child there, he said Gpa was there somewhere.  This was at 6:30.


At 8:00 husband, thank you, and I were in the Expo Hall eating junk food (total indulgence, YUM!!).  difficult child came by, shared what we could not finish, and then Gma and Gpa came by. 


By 8:30 difficult child was leaving for the evening, knowing that his little brother and sister were going to be staying at the fair for quite a while longer. 


As he hugged me goodbye (in public, no less!! :kisses:) he said maybe if he had stayed away from the knives last year he would be allowed to stay late this year.  You could have knocked me over with a feather!!!!!!!   :surprise: 


Yeah, he had consequences last year.  But realizing that events a year ago determined what he was allowed to do this year, that is major!!!! 


I am amazed and proud that he is "getting it".  :bravo:
