When I Grow Up I Want To Be Just Like B

So we went to Open House last night at the high school. I was so impressed with what B has acomplished so far. He seems to know everybody already...which doesn't surprise me. He made his way through the building with only one wrong turn. His teacher said he is adjusting well but tends to talk too much ( gee I wonder where he gets that from ). Most of what he is doing is review work so all his papers were good. They are using a different reading program than the one I was using but it's the same general principle so he's doing well there. But the math system is new to him ...although he is adapting well. I don't regret homeschooling him these past few years but it is so nice to see him making his way in a larger community. My biggest fear still though is that he will start to see himself as different as most of the other kids. And then I'll have to have the conversation with him that I have long dreaded. I realize that on some level he has always known he is different but he's never appeared to be bothered by it. But then again.. that's the beauty of that pure love that he possesses. No matter what anyone says or does...he loves them...they are his "friends'. He amazes me.
