So Domonic and I met back in 2003. Meeting for the first time can be a little stressful since there is a lot of anticipation and one never knows what to expect. "Will my Little like me?" is a question that I am sure goes through every Big's mind... When I was gearing up to meet my Little, I knew he must be just as curious and I wanted to make a good impression. We got off to a bit of a rocky start... he was very quiet during introductions and when we were to go off to the park and get to know one another... he started to cry. Not exactly the impression I had hoped for! I'd never thought of myself as scary, but I guess I can be to an 8-year old boy! Change of plans, we decided to stay at his house and he gave me a tour of his room. After a little while of viewing his sweet collection of video games and class photos I was able to bribe him with ice cream to go on a little excursion with me. Forget the park, we went to Dairy Queen! And the rest is history...
The main purpose of this blog is to share our stories with others, to thank those who have played a positive role in our mentoring relationship, to help both Domonic and I to be more computer savvy and to give Domonic a venue to express his unique point of view. We also just want to create something really cool that we can call our own!
