We will be there....that's the plan, anyway.....
I have a ds who will be 13 this July. He's also pretty shy at first, but once he gets comfortable, he's much better. He tells me he does want to go to the teen club, but we'll see. I'm worried he'll be too young for that crowd. He is also very small for his age, so that makes him seem even younger. On our last cruise, he met a couple of kids that he chummed around with, and they had fun going to movies, pin trading, swimming, arcade, and Ocean Quest. He didn't care for the lab at the time, and now he's too old for it anyway. Even still, there's plenty of options for them.
