Unknowing to Josh, I decided to meet his class for a field trip to plant flowers and go for a walk. When Alysha, Trentman, and I got to the park, I realized that there was more than just classes from his school there. Two other schools where there as well. So we're talking LOTS of kids. When it was his turn to get off the bus, we were waiting for him. He saw us, got a confused look on his face, and then followed his class to where he needed to be. We cought up a few minutes later and he came running over to see us. I was a little taken back by this cause he always likes to look "cool" in front of his friends, and I had just assumed that acknowledging your mom wasn't cool. He then proceeded to allow Alysha and Trentan to sit with him and his circle of friends. ?????. Is this MY child? The theme for the field trip was "Get Active" and so for the first few minutes we did some dancing. "YMCA" and "I like to Move It, Move It" were the song choices. Of course, me being me, I hammed it up a bit and went and danced with Josh and his "groupies". No embarassing looks, and no rolling of the eyes!!! NOTHING! Just a smile. Next on the agenda was planting some flowers. Josh came right up to me and and asked if I would stand in line with him.??????? He made sure Alysha and Trentan got to plant a flower.?????? Right in front of his buddies he came and gave me a big HUG!!! ???????? (I didn't even provoke it!!) As the day went on , more P.D.A's came. And not just to me. To Alysha and Trentan too. I was completely floored. When it was time for the kids and I to go, ANOTHER big hug. No go with a kiss on the cheek though. Can't say I didn't try. Maybe Josh is a big old mamma's boy after all.
P.S. proud of you Josh at your cub awards today. Great job getting all the badges you eraned this year!!!
