Tyler turned 13 last weekend. I bought him a happy 1st birthday boyish bday card since its been 1 year since he came out lol He got a kick out of that. We took him and his friends to a local theme park, he had a great day with some great friends. I can't believe how much has changed since he was little. Part of me feels sad, not sure if I'm mourning my daughter, or my baby maybe a bit of both because now both of my kids are teenagers but either way I'll be fine. I am so proud of how he has grown up the last year. He carries himself with confidence, he seems to be genuinely happy right now and I'd never ask for anything more.
He also told me he doesn't want to go to our group meetings any more. The kids and parents groups have gotten so big since we first start (not a bad thing at all) but he feels like he doesn't get a chance to talk much when he's there, and I get that. We're driving 2 hours round trip and most of the time I don't get time to say much more than what my name is. They are discussing having more than one meeting a month or breaking us into groups because its really just gotten so huge, we didn't go to the august meeting but got an email that 4 more new parents came to the meeting too. He does have contact with his friends outside of the group so I'm not going to make him go if he doesn't want to. not sure if I'll continue or not.
In other news, We got his magic band for our upcoming trip a couple weeks ago and he was beaming with pride when he saw Tyler on the back. =D
