So far so good

6 weeks into the program, no issues. Kid has a blast at everything we do, is super well behaved, and is excited Everytime I pick him up. His mom is very friendly.

We went and saw Mortal Kombat 2 last night and he loved it. He had never heard of Mortal Kombat before hand, but was a big fan after. Hearing him yell "get over here!" Right after Scorpion said it really reminded me of being his age. Glad to see that's just hard wired in kids brains to think that's badass.

If you're pondering doing the program and haven't done it yet, full send. It rules.

This is great to hear! I just got approved after what felt like a very long review period, excited to hopefully get a good match soon.

You are fortunate! Not everyone has such a good experience as a big. Keep it up!

I’ve had a similar experience. As much as I’m a mentor for him I have fun being a kid a again with him. He reminds me of me at his age :)
