My third child is launched out into the world.
As a CCP student for several years already, they applied officially to our local university with enough credits to be almost a junior.
They attended a CCAD College Preview which confirmed they did not actually desire to complete art school. They take commissions and work on lots of arts and crafts projects.
They’ve taken figure skating lessons for years and leveled up frequently. They’re taking a break this first semester of university so they’re not overwhelmed with their schedule.
They’re practicing driving but now have to go through the driver education course this winter due to new laws.
I love how they change their hair and makeup so frequently and have such a fun thrifted unique fashion style.

The last six months were very stressful and I feel I missed out on so much.
We love going to museums and arts festivals. We had some fun day and weekend trips and a great Offspring concert. We had a family beach trip this summer.
I love that I got to provide a nontraditional education to my nontraditional kid.
They won a COLA Dean’s scholarship and is active on the Dean’s advisory board. They should graduate debt-free and probably with extra funds for grad school.
They’re studying classics and art and writing at university and have impressive goals for their future. They’re secretary of the Classics Club and also like attending events with the metaphysical club. They applied for a reception job at their college. They tutor their classmates and are an unofficial TA in Latin.
They’re still living at home and commuting to classes with their sister (and little brother in CCP!) which makes things cheaper and more comfortable and easier on them in many ways – better meals at home and sleeping in their own bed and having their safe space.
They have lots of goals and plans to travel and learn abroad.
High school graduation time is a lovely transition into adulthood.

How lovely to read about your third child. It sounds like they are doing so well. I love her style, my just turned 18 year old loves experimenting with make up and outfits.
