Here I was worrying about S13 and he goes and shows me he's fine. Last week he came home from Cadets and wanted to quit but couldn't say why, which was really strange because he's loved Cadets since his first day. All weekend he was fine and quite happy out fundraising for the Corps, but he kept saying that doesn't want to go to the weekend camp in October. Anyway, he came home from Cadets last night and proudly announced that he has been made mentor to one of the newbies - who also happens to be a buddy of his from school. And he's also decided that maybe he does want to go to camp after all. Guess he just needed a little shot of self-confidence smile.

Tonight is Meet The Teacher night at his school. Normally H would swap shifts if he was on nights so that he could go as well, but not this year. It's going to just be me and S13 as H simply said "I'm on lates so I can't go". S13 is really looking forward to having me meet his teachers for some reason - more so than usual. On the way home it'll be our usual Wednesday night stop at the library. Might even take S13 for a donut after the library as a treat smile
