He did say to me, "I just need to get used to it. By December I'll be happy."
But then this morning when we dropped him off he said, "Don't be surprised, I am going to cry today. I just know it."
How sweet!
Sounds like he has both a hopeful and a 'needs to show how hard it is' side.
A friend explained to me about having 'faith' in my kid. It was a time when I didn't have 'trust' in him or in the situation. She explained that when you have 'faith' you convey confidence the your kid will work things out, although you don't feel safe right now. Sound like your son has 'faith' in himself - very sweet.
