Ok, so do you want an update on Becky’s guy friends?? I thought so…

TVDSA Cool Club High School Group

She is such a crack up.  It is so fun to watch her grow.  She is adjusting (if you will) to the attention from her “guy” friends.  She has about 5 guys who she would consider her … friends / dates.  As she has grown into being a little boy crazy, she is also starting to call boys “cute” which used to be a word that we only used for babies…

There are the two guys from her recent trip to Florida and the Bahamas who live in the mid-west and the East coast (Thank the Lord).  Most of the time, she talks about these two more than the others.   One calls almost daily and sends gifts!  The other is so busy that they only talk every week or so via Skype.  She writes letters via snail mail, and calls both of them.

Then there are the guys here in her local groups.  Yesterday, she had lunch with her good buddy who is blind with his family, and dinner with another old friend and his family.  Having grown up with Becky, this boy, who is much younger, loves being with her.  He has recently started hanging out with the group of young adults with disabilities and has found his nitch.  Homeschooled like us, he is not used to other kids with disabilities and is now enjoying his time with our group. Being younger does not really seemed to bother Becky at this point because she just likes the attention.  All in all, a good day in her mind – two dates in one day!  Her friend from prom only lives an hour away, but we do not seem to hook up too often.  It’s too bad, cuz I think he and his brother are cute!

This whole process has been a great learning experience!  My mother warned me that it would take work, and it has… but it is worth it!  What parent ever wants to deal with boy crazy? Feels like jr high school! For us, this stage, just like every other stage Becky has gone through has been a learning process.  Like every other stage, she did not automatically go thru it.  But, as she goes through it, learning each step, we watch, thrilled that she continues to grow and mature.
