Middle Boy went to the birthday party of a friend today.  He was REALLY nervous.

Generally he does okay in social situations.  He was going to a "more adult" Chuck E Cheese place here in town.

He doesn't do many social things without me.  He generally chooses not to and comes up with some sort of excuse for why he can't or doesn't want to.

I was a little bit surprised he was actually wanting to go.

I could tell all morning that his anxiety was building.  I just want him to be able to hang out with his peers.

I dropped him off and he got out of the car.

Prayers for lessened anxiety and that he has a good time.
