So Cade's birthday party is Saturday and Kevin and I have been talking about getting him a cell phone. Yes, he will only be 12 and it goes against everything we have ever said about cell phones and young kids having them. We always agreed to get the kids a phone when they start driving and not a moment sooner. But lately we have been pushing Cade to grow up a little more. And he has been borrowing his friends phones everytime he needs to call us. We thought if we want him to grow up, we need to stop treating him like a baby and let him grow up. So we went last night and got him a cell phone. Ofcourse, we couldn't wait to give it to him, so we surprised him last night. He was soooo excited. He was not expecting a phone at all. We were helping him put some family contacts in his phone and when he put me in his contact list, he put "mom". Made me feel so good. I'm so tired of playing the role, but not feeling like mom. Now that Melissa is completely out of the picture, I'm hoping my relationship with Cade will grow stronger. I know I deserve to be his mom way more than Melissa deserves it. I am proud to be his mom. Melissa has no idea what she's missing out on. Now if I can just figure out how to communicate with Cade better...
Ok, so I think I know how to communicate with him better. He has been texting me like crazy! He lets me know when he's going to bed, that he loves me, he's getting on the bus, that he loves me again, that he texted abby. So funny. Just glad he likes it. Now... how long will it be before he loses the phone or gets it taken away. Fingers crossed, he's going to do better than expected.
