How to keep you college student coming home on the weekends

  It is my son, Blake's first year of college and he is getting his first taste of independence. I am noticing him changing which is good he is being more independent which is exactly what he needs to do. I am selfish and love to see him on the weekends- I know it won't last forever-but I am going to make the most of it while he does:)
I try to have a little surprise for him to let him know I am thinking about him and it makes him feel special. It can be as small as his favorite candy bar, soda or an organizer for his bed, a picture of our dog who he adores for his dorm room-little thoughtful things. This week I got him a taco bell gift card-he craves that place. He has classes late 2 nights a week and misses dinner at the campus restaurant. He has a microwave so he makes mac and cheese and ramen noodles-this will give him another option and hopefully smile.
I am going to wash his sheets tonight and let them air dry-they smell so good and are a little crisp that way-makes for a perfect nights sleep-his favorite thing-beside food.
I try to make some homemade meals that are his favorites too-he is very loved:)
