(no subject)

My tiny boy is no longer tiny. I have a pre-teen who is now going into grade seven. He needs to bus, which is a change, and the school day starts earlier, so we've adjusted our morning routine back an hour from last year, another change. I gave him the option of wearing a mask this morning because I want him to have a sense of bodily autonomy.

He declined.

I did tell him that there are masks in his backpack if he changes his mind. I can only do so much and insisting that he wears one doesn't benefit either of us.
