I Love My Super Awesome Son. . . He Keeps Me Laughing

I think I cheered louder than both of my kids together when we received notice that there would be a two hour late start for school today. I understand the concept of early to bed and early to rise, but having two kids that like to pack as much as they can in the waking hours wears on me sometimes, and I like to sleep in. Jacey takes after her mother. She slept in too. Max not so much. He decided, like the awesome young man that he is, to wake up closer to the normal time and practice the piano before school. That in and or itself is a miracle. He even played songs that he wasn't assigned. Yes, miracles are abounding today. Then he decided that he wanted to run around outside in his underwear before jumping in the shower. Definitely does not take after his mother. Maybe this is a Petersen linked gene? I told him he was not allowed to run around outside in his underwear, but if he put some shorts on he had my permission. He almost backed out when he saw the camera, but apparently he still wanted to do it in spite of the documenting that would naturally occur on social media.

And to keep with the amazing son theme for this blog post, I had the most pleasant conversation with his school counselor yesterday when I spoke to him on the phone about the possibility of changing Max's elective classes next semester. Which was not successful because he is too smart. Apparently, if you are in all honors levels classes, and 9th grade math instead of 8th grade math you do not have options and you can't take what you really would like to take. I was so hoping to get him in to Computers in Business rather than Theater. Oh well. At least he is good at acting. Nevertheless, his counselor went on and on about what a outstanding young man was. He works directly with him since Max is on the Hope Squad, and not only is he responsible and kind he also witnessed Max's acting skills when they made a video about Anti-Bullying. He simply couldn't say enough positive things about my cute son. Oh how that makes my heart happy. Max NEVER EVER toots his own horn, and I never know what happens at school even when I ask. I am always so amazed by comments from others when I hear them. I absolutely love it when others see the amazing man I know he is.
