Oldest son reaching out

[Jaydaan]

So, its been almost a year, 2 weeks off of a year, actually. How are we doing? well... He is healthy, he has gained a bit of weight, still skinny. He is moody, and does the SIIIGGHHHHSSSS when we ask him too many questions. He spend most of his time in his room. He smokes pot, but does not do hard drugs, in fact has told a freind of his if the freind did E again, he would not hang out with him anymore. He have only had on slip up with "borrowing" money from me, and that was early on.
BUT! he sometimes joins us for socializing, meals and helping out ever so slightly with chores. He is working, part time as a dishwasher, but he works hard when he is there. When I walk through work's kitchen I am told on a regular basis how good a worker he is. He wants to progress to a cook. This is a great thing!

I am looking forward to Christmas, it will be our first Christmas morning together in 7 years. Hubby is looking forward to him moving out... lol more so because of the lack of privacy, than anything else.

Was it a good thing... yes!
