I saw my therapist today and expressed how things are going and what kind of stress I'm feeling. She says I'm doing a spectacular job and after it's all over I should open a school for troubled boys. Fat lot of help that was.
After that I went to Tio's parent/teacher conference and he's hitting top grades and showing real promise with math, writing and reading. The kid's got brains, good looks, good nature, and talent. He's a natural at sports and academics. Football Captain/Valedictorian type material. Makes shy, ugly kids like I used to be feel pointless. He'll go far and I look forward to helping him reach for his dreams.
A nice Kit moment today: We started reading Alice in Wonderland together tonight and I said I thought that Alice sure did a lot of crying. He suggested she go out on Halloween as a puddle.
