was a SUCCESS ;D ;D ;D
K, not the BEST of things Chris has done BUT OMG it was so much better then it went last year ;D
Colin and I were so thrilled this year when we picked up our Character this year. He looked great, happy, well rested... He still was very eager to leave and go home BUT he was a different kid this time I tell you ;D
I attribute it to the whole mixture of things, KWIM
Last year he came home sick which makes me think he was probably not feeling well while at camp. This year he was feeling fine and did not come home sick ;D
I think him being on his meds for his OCD which at this time are working great was good timing.
I think the fact that last year was his first year he wasn't sure what was what BUT this year since he remembered being there last year KNEW he would be going home.
Last year he didn't once go in the cool pool they have
and OMG Chris loves the water. I told the gal that was his counselor don't let him decide he will love the water, make him go in ... He I am happy to report was in the pool lots ;D
I also think the counselor he had this year just knew better how to work with Chris. Don't get me wrong I think his counselor last year was very good but this year much better fit, KWIM. Kind of like some years you have that GREAT teach and some years not...
This year Chris came home with lots of photos on his camera we sent and just that alone I can see he had a much better time ;D
This year he hugged his counselor before we left last year he ran to the car.
Colin and I were concerned when we left him as on of the campers in his cabin was quite the screamer and head banger and that totally freaked Chris out But we were told they would only be sleeping in the same cabin not in the same group for activities.
Turns out sadly for this young man and his family he did not stay at camp, they couldn't even sign him in due to being so out of control. Honestly when I heard that I felt for the young man and his family but on the same hand I was happy for Chris, cause I think that would have wrecked his week.
K, I am going on way to much I am sure LOL BUT this year was so much better then last year that YES we will try again next summer.
Have to say so far Chris is so much calmer since being in camp or maybe just all the stars are in place
BUT with all that said I am sooooo HAPPY he is home ;D ;D
