There is a plan in place to get him up North just after Christmas so he can spend a fun filled week at the ranch! 10,000 acres of 4-wheeling and go-carting and target practice - what little boy wouldn't go head over heels for that? Problem is - it's going to take a plane ride to get it done. Alone.
He has stood strong in his conviction that he was NOT getting on a plane. No way, no how, not going to happen. Until today. He asked some basic questions, had me outline just exactly how it would go down and then said, "Let's do it!"
Wow, I am so proud of this little man. He rationalized and weighed his options put aside his fears. I will say though - the promise of free soda without mom there to give him the "Are you kidding me???" look - most likely put him over the top!!
We still have 3 or 4 days, so anything could happen, but we are a step closer to getting him past this little 8 year old fear and that pleases me to no end.
Now if I can only manage to keep it together until he gets out of view....lord help me! I'm pretty certain I will be the one freaking out in the airport.
