Thanks Dottie,
You're right, I shouldn't compare to his sister. I also have two older boys though and DS10 is just a horse of a different color altogether.
He does seem happy and well-liked but I would like to see more social interaction. Unfortunately we do not live in a neighborhood so there are few chances once home. It was this thought that had me getting concerned as summer approached and he will not have that regular contact from school.
I intend to sign him up for camp but that creates its own problems as he doesn't want to go and dislikes having his leisure time dictated. He would be happy to sit home all summer and play on the computer if I let him.
Glad to hear that your DS has grown and changed in those 10-12 years. Gives me hope that DS doesn't become the brilliant guy who lives in the park and talks to himself. :-)
