My sweet Wylie comes in this morning wearing a very interesting outfit, not anything I wouldn’t approve of but interesting. I ask him if other kids dress like this and he says sometime and then he said “it doesn’t matter if they did, I like it” I was impressed. This lead us to another conversation about his size, for a sixth grader his is quite small and he proceeds to tell me that some kids at school call him midget (my heart sunk). I asked if that made him feel bad? He said no, they like me for who I am. I hope that as he enters a world of not so nice kids next year, aka JR HIGH, he caries that attitude with him and he remains confident with his decisions and stays true to himself.
Not looking forward to these days....being a mom is not for whimps.
