I have a normal Mom Complaint!!!!!!

And it is a cause to CELEBRATE!!!!

My daughter is taking over my phone. Like a normal preteen girl. Well maybe not taking it over but she is definitely on it talking to her friend!!!!!!!

I know I mentioned Cait's crush. Well her and this Aspie boy have become buddies in the regular kid sense. They have talked to each other on the phone each of the last 4 days. Sometimes for about a good 15 minutes to 1/2 hour just chatting! They have each others email addresses. They look forward to seeing each other in school, eat lunch together.

I am SOOOOOO looking forward to telling her to get off the phone so I can use it. Do you know she has never had anyone call her besides the occasional grandparent. Emily has been getting calls since 1st grade.

Yep, she is on the phone again now!!!

Only you guys would know how great a feeling that is. Go ahead and call. She finally has a friend. A real for true friend.

Dear Renee,

Yup, that is way, way cool! Congratulations! Sounds like Cait is stepping into her own and that is so exciting. And 15 - 30 minutes, woo-hoo! Ah, teenagers.

Malcolm also calls his pals, esp. the beautiful girl he loves in TX, and his best buddy, and I also love eavesdropping (shh) in rapture when they talk. Sometimes he orders me out of the room, this is PRIVATE, Mom...

yours,

Sara

That's great Renee you have been having a great week with the kids. I guess now would be cause to pass a little dark beer and some red wine your way. I have no chocolate because I am dieting.

You go Cait!!!!!

Wine, Beer, you speaka my language. CHEERS!

No chocolate. Diet here to, though that dark beer just killed it anyway.

Thanks for the support gals. I am still beaming. ROFL. I am so pathetic. I am happy cause my girl is getting phone calls from boys. That is wrong.

At least he is an Aspie boy. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Renee,

That is so fantastic! When you said there were several Aspie boys in her class, I was really hoping this would happen for Cait. She is such a pretty girl, and it would be great to see her going to the prom one day with a cute nerdy sort of guy. I am sure the boy's parents are pleased with the blossoming relationship, too. Thanks for posting this news, since it does give me hope for Cassian. He has such a sweet romantic side, despite his inattentiveness to other kids. I hope he makes a friend like Cait one day.

Renee, Happy Dance for you!! Cait is a cute girl & she will be meeting boys Aspie or otherwise. Get used to it! Sarah has had nerdie type b/f since 5th gr. I don't know if he is an obsession or if he's the real thing. She sits on the bus w/him & he lives in the area so she rides bikes w/him. He dances w/her @ the school dances & went to the Fair w/her.I'm glad as you said that she has a friend who is nice and likes her as is! Good for Cait. It does get easier as they get older. Take Care, Mary Ann (I lurk all the time here)

"she will be meeting boys Aspie or otherwise"

I THINK NOT!!!! I like Aspie boys. Only Aspie boys are allowed. I saw those "other" middle school boys interested in girls and I like my nice, innocent, non-manipulative, tactile defensive Aspie boys, thank you very much. Could be that my first experience with middle schoolers was summer school with boys taller than me with mustaches walking by and cussing.

Renee,

I told dh about your post. He was so concerned, the first thing he said was, "what about the boy? Does he know?" I said yes and that he's on the spectrum too. You should've seen dh's face and body language. It was like a sign of relief!!! As though you needed his approval!! LOL He's glad we had 2 boys and NO GIRLS.....I don't think he could handle the stresses of raising girls!! He wouldn't let any boys come near his girls!!

Oh that is just too cute! Thanks Michelle and tell your DH thanks too.

Girls are concerning and like I said, only Aspie boys are allowed.
