It's sometimes a strange feeling when you get what you want.
#1 Son has been working at an internship. He's doing something that he really likes, and is learning some great technical things (in a field where he'll likely be able to get paying work someday, after he's been to College). But he isn't getting paid.
That's all part of the game - eyes on the prize, after all. I like it that he's excited about the work, and learning good things. I like it that the people he works with really like what he's doing there.
Last night he came back home from work and said that they'd found a project for him to do where they'll pay him. They didn't have to do this, but like what he does enough that they figured out how to make it happen.
This is the first time that I've seen my little boy as a man. It's really, really cool.

Congrats, that is exciting.
Yes, it is really, REALLY cool to watch your kids grow up and grab the world with both hands.
Remember the old adage: if you enjoy what you do for a living, you'll never work a day in your life.
Very exciting!
Good for you and him!
You've done well!
Now if I could just get my eldest, Senior in HS next year, to get his shit together!
I alternate between a Father's love and wanting to kick his ass daily, a number of times daily!
There you go, right there- the beginning...
You know, you should take the lad to the range to celebrate...
Excellent news, BP!
(Hmmm. Should re-think that abbreviation in light of recent events...) ;)
