ACK! Birthday invite, WWYD?

Mike actually got a birthday invite. Some may remember the boy I wrote of here before who has a tendancy to lie and has some of his own issues? (bad stuttering problem, anxiety, tends to tell big stories and loves that he can be kind of the leader over Mike and Mike believes anything he says) He was our neighbor a while back, they are in the same class and since this boy has a hard time with friends he and Mike will hang out together at lunch, etc sometimes. the mom is really nice and I have known her a while. She knows about Mike, etc. Takes things easier and lets more get by then I would but I am overprotective.

Well he invited Mike for this Saturday. They are going to his house, then to see Spiderman 3, then to dinner then ice cream. I probably will let Mike go. I know this is going to be WAY overstimulating for him. I know he will likely be very difficult the rest of the weekend but we gotta let them grow up sometime, eh?

In the past I would have always gone with him but that is SOOOOO not cool in 5th grade. He would definitely stick out then.

WISH ME LUCK!

wow, sounds like LOTS of simulation, but fun too! I hope it goes well for him and he doesn't take it out on you the rest of the weekend!

I wish there was a crossing-my-fingers-for-you icon. I'll be thinking about you guys this weekend; I hope that all goes well!

Hi Renee,

I would totally let him go, of course. I bet he's going to have a super time, so much fun that he will NOT torture you all the rest of the weekend.

Hooray for Mikie, have fun, dude!!!
