It finally happened. I knew it would be coming, I was just wishing that it wouldn't come so fast. In fact, when it happened my heart sank and I felt like someone had thrown me to the ground and jumped on me. What, you ask?
My 7 year old is embarrassed of his mother!! How can that be, you wonder? Well I thought the same thing. Who in the world would be embarrassed to be seen with me? Well, his name is Pk and he is a lot cooler than me and therefore I am not allowed to talk to him when we turn the corner near is bus stop. I am not to touch him, or hug him or heaven forbid give him a kiss goodbye. To make matters worse, I can't even say goodbye to him in front of his friends. I have to whisper it to him and then he gives me a half-wave goodbye. But of course the half-wave his behind his back so no one else can see it.
I am heart broken about this. I thought that maybe this stage would hit when he was about 10 or 12 but 7? I don't want to be one of those mothers that kisses their kids goodbye in front of their friends, even though the child doesn't want them to. But to not even give me a nice wave goodbye? Am I really that embarrassing? Depends on who you ask.
We made a deal and I can give him a hug and a kiss before we leave the house to go to the bus stop. And then once we turn the corner where the other kids can see him I have to stop there and let him walk the rest of the way by himself. So I am being told how close to walk to him, and when to hide so he doesn't have to be seen with his mother. Pretty pathetic if you ask me!
Tan helped me babysit my niece. He was so excited that she was there, and he took his job very seriously.
My niece is so cute!!! We can't get enough of her when she is here.
Tan holding the toy up to her, and then she would sway back and forth to the sound. I think my brother has a future dancer on his hands.
This is how excited Lex was on the way up there!
Tan who is always excited to do anything.
Lex with her toy. Every time we go we promise ourselves that we are not going to go through the lobby passed the toys that cost way to much. $50. later we were quite dissappointed in ourselves.
Chad was really excited, he just won't admit it to anyone.
Pk ate 3/4 the popcorn. He is going to make me go broke in a couple of years with my food bill.
It started!
Lex seeing Minnie and Mickey come on stage for the first time.
Almost over! We had a lot of fun, and it was nice to do something different for a change.
My mom and Lex who I think was tired out from all the fun.
We were bored waiting for our turn so we took lots of pics.
Trying to take a pic with Tan acting normal is hard. This is the best that we could do.
Lex taking her turn. She hit the ball which is more than I can say for her mother!
Chad showing everyone his skills.
Yup I look like a pro!! I hit the ball a couple of times, I just don't look very good when I do it.
Pk getting help from his Papa. After this he wouldn't let anyone help him. 
If Pk got help from Papa then Tan had to also.
And so then it was Lex's turn. No one could be left out from the wisdom of their Papa!
