More About Keith

Becky called him my right hand man on one of her posts and he is. I think of him as my rock. If there is one person in this house that I can count on being consistent and responsible, it's him. More so than me. I'm a mom (and, yes, a girl) and think with my feelings a lot of times when I should be using my head. And he calls me on it and redirects my thinking or just keeps everyone out of my way.

I have new videos of a choir concert tonight. No solos for Keith. That's what I've been requesting from him for months for Mother's Day. There are a lot of kids here and Mr. Harmon is amazing with them. They've had a great year. If you want more videos of the concert, go to youtube and search videos by user name mrkaw. I don't know how many he posted there, but at least a couple more.


Actually, the really exciting news is that he went to prom a couple of weeks ago.

It was a hurry up deal, but we got the tux and got him dressed up.

Here's a group picture that I took and one that was taken at after prom. Funny the change in how comfortable they were together from start to finish.



The really good ones are over at Becky's site.
Jacqui's family goes to our church so her mom and I compared notes from that night. Two very tall, very thin, very shy kids. I was just so happy to see him step out of his comfort zone and do something with other kids his age rather than, ahem, ME.

Last weekend he and I were going to see a movie together and I noticed he was chatting on line with Jacqui and I gently told him it wouldn't hurt my feelings if he wanted to ask her to go instead. It took him a while but he did and she said yes.

And I cut a few more centimeters off my apron string.
