We found out over Christmas break that Bethany had decided that since they had had no COVID outbreaks at school that they would return to having in person class four days a week beginning January 19th. When I first told Cameron, he looked at me with a face of disgust. I asked him if he liked virtual learning better. He said, "No, it's just the thought of school in general." I was sure that he wasn't the only teenager feeling that way, but he did warm up to the idea of going back when he realized that at least he would be able to see his friends.
I was happy for him as we had come to realize that spending an inordinate amount of time at home since November had become a drag for Cameron. Thankfully, he was able to take tennis lessons, play in a tennis tournament and work on driver's education during that time period. The weather had also been pretty mild this winter, so at least he could go outside. Meg had been around so there was someone who was at least competitive to play Mario Kart against and he had received a new Madden game to yell at on a nightly basis. Even with all of those activities it was time to get back into a more normalized routine. As much as we enjoyed having Cameron at home, we were glad for him as he would at least get a break from us.
