We dropped DS off Thursday and I’m happy to say it went very smoothly. His suitemates seem very nice and son seemed happy to see us leave. We had previously set up the key words for departure- “mom, you’ve reached that point. Get out now. Please” So we said our goodbyes and hit the road.

Yesterday he posted on FB that he just realized that he won’t see family of friends for a few months! That’s my boy- Capt Oblivious. Before we left, I managed to slide a letter under his fitted sheet with $40 in it. We’ll see how long it takes for him to wash his sheets.

We also talked about him calling on Sunday’s, so we’ll see if he remembers and calls today. So far so good on my side. No tears, I’m really more excited to hear about how his classes are going. He has so much to look forward to and the path he’s on is fresh and new.

His sister and I will be making cookies today, so we’ll send them out tomorrow. Other than that, things are going well.
