Decided this was the better place for this than the brag or quirky thread.
Today DS15 (H.S. sophomore) came home today and said he and a friends friends are planning to go to a movie next week. (He has a whole week off for Thanksgiving & we aren't traveling anywhere.) I am THRILLED. And two weeks ago he went to a birthday party.
Doesn't seems like a big deal right. NOPE, this was my kid that had NO friends in junior high. (His choice in 7th grade, and he burned a few bridges.) Last year he seemed to make friends at the end of the year, but never did anything with them outside of school. My son tells me I 'shouldn't get excited about this', but he really has been making HUGE strides in his social life recently. I suspect some of this is just age/maturity. But I'm now comfortable with my decision to listen to him and not to push the social skills class.
