Happy Friday! This morning Alex closed his door (first suspicious sign) and when I entered his room, was dressed in a button down dress shirt, tie, long pants, hat and jacket. He told me he was going on a date with his friend (actually Bella's friend) Lizzie. I tried to explain that he was too young for dating, being only 10, that he needed to wait until he was a teenager, but he insisted he was old enough. "Where would you go?" I asked. "Bowling and to Chuck E. Cheese! That would be my date!" he answered. "And you can drive us, but don't stay too close when we get there, let me have my date" he added.

Great! It took me about 30 minutes to talk him out of it, at least for today. Who knows what tomorrow morning will bring!!!
