best lunch meeting ever

[sistawendy]

During the school year on Tuesday nights, I was taking my son to his synagogue youth group. Now that it's summer and it doesn't meet, Nibs wanted us to spend some time together. Her plan: m'boy and I are going to eat lunch together every Tuesday at MyCo this summer, and the first one was yesterday.

This is yay. I get to escape work for an hour - What boss will tell you you can't see the son you don't live with? - and tell m'boy to sit up straight and eat his fruit or vegetables. And I get to rub his head.

Yesterday may have been the first time he took the bus alone. He remembered to get a bus transfer for the trip home. I'm proud of him.

Hooray for the two of you! Though, I'm surprised that the youth group isn't meeting. I'd have expected more random group activities now that it's summer vacation and scheduling is easier.

Well, Camp Kalsman, which is the Reform Jewish summer camp, has multiple sessions in the summer. Maybe the temple didn't want conflicts, since I'm sure a lot of those kids would go to camp.

That is awesome!

Also, one of my cardinal rules of taking the bus - if they offer you a free transfer, ALWAYS take it. You never know when you'll need it, particularly when taking transit in unfamiliar cities! (Or, he could get an ORCA card for local use, and that'll take care of the transfer for him.)

Gotta go with the 'get him an orca' thought.

I'm afraid of his prodigious talent for losing small objects like ORCAs.

That is so awesome, on so many different levels.
