Just thought I would start a second thread to get the conversation re-focused on the upcoming phone call.
In retrospect, the first call was so haphazard. My spouse and I have so many questions we want to ask, but we want our son to lead the conversation. We are half thinking of making a list of questions to ask, things we talk about in the evenings when it's (now) just the two of us. For instance, we haven't heard a thing about roomate(s).
The time of the call doesn't matter this time. We presume it will be after the noon meal, based on our experience and that of so many other posters with the first call. We will be close to home (100 yards/feet/inches) with someone always in the house. His siblings want to be home as well.
We got a great postcard this week which relieved so many of our anxieties and takes the pressure off this call, at least for us.
I hope you all get a good call.
