Rob is off at a teen conference at our church. He was part of the "con" planning committee and is leading a workshop on ultimate frisbee playing. I have no idea what that is. I have mastered catching a frisbee well enoughto play with the kids, but frisbees have never been my thing. But I am proud that Rob wanted to be part of this, and I am proud that he wanted to be on a steering committee for it. It is exciting to see his world widen. His family is special to him and we still hold a key place in his life, but as it should, other people, other experiences, are also becoming increasingly important. He talks about being an adult occasionally, and is beginning to focus on what he will do with his life. He talks about lving away from home. Not in an "I can't get out of here fast enough" type of way, but in a pretty normal teen kind of way.
Meanwhile back at the ranch the littles have stepped up to the plate with big bro gone for the weekend. (Rob left for this event last evening and won't be home till late this afternoon). They have very ahppily pitched in with pet care, and shopping chores but I know they are missing Rob. Today was observation day at dance class though and that was pretty exciting for them. KC is rocking his new jazz class. It is the first time I have gotten to see him in action in the class. He does really well in the tap and ballet classes, but he has a couple years experience with those. But best of all, he seems really comfortable in the classes, really happy to be able to express himself through this art form. After his class, he plays with a couple of boys whose younger sisters take the next class with Lissa. We have been invited to set up a play date with one of the boys because he so enjoys spending time with KC. I guess it is a bit of further proof that one can successfully socialize and not be enrolled in public school! LOL
