   OMG! Way to go, Bossy’s son!

   Also, Bossy’s son’s room back home is awesome. He must have died having to go into the jail cell dorms. I did. Arg.

   Awesome son, awesome room, and all because of an aswesome mom. Truly, I would have killed to have a mom like you — and those yellow Converse.

   Yeah…he’s come home.

   Mine finishes his Freshman year in 3 weeks…only he never left the house. He is going to college in the next town over.

   yay Bossy’s Son for surviving Freshman Year. My daughter never came home for the summer. Job and 11 month on-campus apartment and summer semesters

   Annie (commenter #6) read my mind. Look at Bossy’s Daughter wearing a big smile and some snazzy tap? shoes.

   I was startled by the big blue owl glaring at Bossy while she snapped a self-portrait.

    For everybody’s information, Those shoes are not taps!

    Aren’t they cute?
    P.S. I would like it if they were taps, though…

    My 5 year old has the same black and gray bedspread….in his room that is painted black (he’s 5 going on 15). I can’t even imagine him coming home from his 1st year of university.

    I’m sorry. Did I miss something? Did you NOT just get him set up in that dorm? Did he not just start school. Clearly I have been in a fugue state. And I”m not talking music.

    That first dorm-room photo brings to mind the post you did, oh about 2-3 weeks ago, showing it all barren like that as you were moving him in.

    Need a link directly to the move-in stories. I remember the bit where Columbia firmly invites the parents to NOW LEAVE as they drop off their darlings.

    Dollars to donuts, Bossy’s Son is the only one whose mom is super-cool enough to show up for the move wearing yellow high-top Chucks.
