That is sooooooo WONDERFUL!!!
As the mother of two teenage boys, I know the feeling. Sometimes you think they'll never grow up. And then one day, they surprise you. It probably is that he is enjoying what he's doing and sees the relevance of school now.
That is what we are seeing in our son who just went away to college last month. He hated high school, and had this "I don't care attitude." He turned in the minimum when it came to assignments. Now that his schoolwork is in an area that he likes, he is applying himself and loving it! He was telling us about school last night, and my husband remarked later that he'd never heard him talk that much.
Hey, I thought my son would never get up in the morning to go to class---and today (after his first visit home), he is returning to school EARLY to complete an assignment! And he asked me to buy him some more laundry detergent because he was out of it! Yikes! He's actually washing his own clothes! I never thought I'd see that day! Ha! He even asked me to pick up one of those stain-remover sticks.
And the big shocker---he didn't bring any dirty clothes home with him.
I am so excited for you. Isn't it neat to see them mature right before your eyes? It's what we parents hope and pray for, since the day we brought them home from the hospital.
As my other son would say, "YOU DID GOOD!!!!!"
