Getting ready for the school year

School starts in 2 weeks for my 10 year old. His journey with aa began last summer. At the begining of the school year a "health" assembly was held where the nurse explained to all the kids what AA is and Casey was given permission to wear a hat. THAT WAS THE BEST DECISION EVER!!! The school and kids have been fantastic (except for just a couple of situations). Casey did wear a hat all year and it wasn't until the beginning of summer that he moved to AT (no hair, eye lashes or eye brows). With the new school year starting he has been trying to decide if he should wear a hat or not. Well, I think the decision has been made....His friends told him the other day how "COOL" he thinks the "bald thing" is. So I think it's "no hat". I'm so proud of him for just wanting to be who he is. I have a really amazing kid!!!
