Beth's been working for a month today. It was time to see her in action. Alli, Elvis, and I joined a friend and some of her kids for a dinner out tonight at Beth's restaurant. The place was hopping and we didn't see her much. She sat us (with a server who was rather a dim bulb) and the next time we saw her, she was seating one of her teachers - LOL! Other than one other random sighting, she may as well not have been there. But I knew she was there. All grown up and employed. I went with her to open her bank account last week. Her PIN for her debit card came in the mail Tuesday. The actual debit card arrived today. She was so excited as she put it in her wallet. To her, that means she's grown. (OK, so it also reinforces it to me, too.)
She's got less than a semester of high school left. She's got a job, a boyfriend, and a debit card. What else does she need? In her mind, nothing. I have to admit that after watching her flounder through life acting as if she didn't have 2 functioning brain cells, she's suddenly making much better choices. She's thinking things through. She's listening and processing what she hears. She's a lot less impulsive. So, she may not really be ready to face the world but she's definitely moving in the right direction. Way to go, Beth!
