SoCS & JusJoJan the 22nd – the icing on the cake

18 Comments

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much to everyone who wished me a happy birthday today.

It was a lovely birthday, all said and done, thanks to Alex and his teacher at school.

He had his cooking exam last week, so he cooked me a wonderful dinner in class on Friday of roasted chicken and potatoes and vegetables, which he served to me tonight.

The cake he baked in class on Thursday, and yes, there was extremely sweet icing on the cake.

I’d say he passed his exam with flying colours!

I’m going to miss having him go to school next year, now that he’s aged out.

And the t-shirt he gave me! “World’s Best Mom” in his own handwriting. It made me cry.

I think I might adopt his teacher.

    What sweet gifts. I am so happy your birthday was so lovely. It is unfortunate to lose such a good influence in his life. I am sure school was good for both of you.

    It is wonderful that his teacher has been such a good influence. Are there adult ed classes he could attend?
