Date sort Score sort

Here it is.

My middle son is turning 15 today. He said that he didn't want much for his birthday, but he did want us to have a "date" like we did when they (3 boys) were little. I started the tradition when they were three or four. I would take them out, one at a time, usually on their birthday, and teach then how to behave on a date. We would go out to eat, shopping for a present, and to a movie. I would have them open the doors for me, pull out my chair, and order food for me. I gave them the money to pay and let them carry the tickets. That has always been an option for a birthday but once overnight friends, and hunting trips with dad became other options, dates fell out of favor. Until last week.

Today will be sunny and the high will be near 70. I have two beds ready to plant and a gift card to Lowe's. I am behind in my spring cleaning of coops and planting beds, but I have nothing to do that is more important than that date.

Tell him happy birthday from BYC friends! And how fun, a date with your son

that is something very special!
Teaching them what to do on a date was a great idea.

When my kids turned 13 going thru puberty and feeling out of sorts I tried to do something very special for them " a make over" to make them more self confident and to help them feel special. (It worked too!)

And yes everything else will still be there tomorrow and next week. Have fun!
