We are driving in the van and the following dialog transpires:
Carsten: “Mommy, why I not have force?”
Me: “Force to do what?”
Carsten: “Force. Why I not have force get motorcycle.”
Thoroughly confused I look back at him and he has his hand tensed with fingers apart about 6 inches above a hot wheel motorcycle. Then the light went off.
Me: “Because the force is not with you my son. You are not a Jedi Knight.”
Carsten: “I want be Jedi.”
Oh my! My sweet Camden is done with first grade. His strength was in reading. He did well in all other subjects, but did struggle a little with writing. I am very proud of him and can’t believe 2nd grade is right around the corner!
Now, about the girlfriend. He has had a friend and classmate the past 2 years that he has been sweet on. The intensity has increased over the last couple of weeks. The cutest thing was Monday. There was a fundraiser for his class at Cold Stone Creamery. He kept asking if he could sit with Allie. We pulled into the parking lot and Camden said, “I hope Allie is here. Can I sit with her?” “Sure!” I said. Then he hit me with…”This will be our 2nd date.” Picking my lower jaw up off the floor I said, “Second date? When was your first?” “Today on the playground.” “What did you do?” I asked. “Oh, just walked around and looked at things.” It was so cute.
That night while running around, Allie and Camden picked out their home, decided they were going to live in San Fransisco and Camden would work as a Mythbuster. My thought…SLOW DOWN….YOU ARE STILL MY BABY!!
