First Date
Well, it happened, I have gotten older. But I digress. What is really important, he had his first date. I don't think we were aware that he had become twitterpatted until the art show. Standing by the door, hands in his pockets, surveying the crowd for "her". When she arrived, he lit up, waiting for her to come sit by him. "SHE" was there, and "SHE" was his girlfriend.
Her name is Andi. She is an older woman, 17! And she is adorable. Her parents are lovely as well. Now I must point out at first glance, it was not clear to me that she was aware of the high pedestal she was on in the eyes of this young man. At the Best Buddy social they hung out together, playing the special games together, and giggling. lots of giggling. Oh yes and posing for pictures.
At the end of the school year, we saw "HER" at the graduation party...for what's his name.....Oh yes, Anthony. But he only had eyes for "HER". So we began summer. And with our tiny children now old enough to entertain themselves without running away, the grown ups decided it was time to start a social club for our young gaggle of life long BFF's.
Fast forward to the Diamondback Baseball Game. He hugged her for the pictures outside, she held his hand as they walked to the seat, everyone reorganized so they could sit together. CUTE! And then at Saturday in the Park he followed Cowboy (the class party man) while she followed him. So as she prepared to leave, Romeo went to her mom, cleared his throat two or three times and asked permission for a playdate. "YES!" He was excited.
The date occured a week ago. He went to the door and picked them up! "I got this mom!" They bowled while the chaperones conversed. They cheered for each other bowling 3 games. As we headed back to the car they walked hand in hand and giggled. On to McDonalds for ice cream and then back home. They went to see her room and immediately grabbed some toys and began playing hide and seek. They had a great time. WE had a great time. Perfect for each other for this place in time.
