Aside from his diagnosis as dyslexic and dysgraphic, There have been big changes afoot this year for Farmer Boy. His First Communion was this weekend, which he has spent the school year preparing for. He was very nervous – not about receiving Eucharist, but about “all those people” looking at him. Classic stage fright. I was so proud of him for managing it and pulling through. He was very pleased with himself as well. We are truly fortunate to have wonderful friends who came for his reception afterwards – he was very specific about who he wanted to invite, and I am so warmed by their efforts to make his day even more special.
This is a layer cake - the layers fell - and are cleverly held up by saucers under each layer. He made the frosting himself.
He told me during school this morning that he just can’t wait to go to Mass again.
Here we are: Grandma, Grandpa, myself & My Farmer, Farmer Boy, Little Cowgirl, Shooter.
It was a wonderful day and I’m so thankful for this boy, his brother and sister, our Church family and friends.
He was so adorable at Mass! All the First Communicants were. Their enthusiasm and excitement is contagious. I have several photos to send you!
Do I add to his anxiety, always wanting to take photos (of everybody!)? If so, I’ll refrain from taking them of him, such as tomorrow night – except for the group shot!
Wonderful pics – glad you are “mac’d” up and can share with us again!
