and I am one very happy Mom tonight ;D
OMG you guys I am sorry to report he did not have a good time
We were allowed to pick him up between 9 and 10 am and I made sure Colin and I were there right at 9 ;D The kids were just finishing up breakfast so we went to his room to get all his stuff to put in the car. Then we went and signed him out walked over to the cafeteria and it was jammed with kids parents and such. The moment I walked in the door through the crowd I spotted him and he spotted me and OMG he just had a grin from ear to ear.
He ran over to us, gave Colin a hand shake and me the BIGGEST hug ever. I then talked to his counselor aka Tasha. She really is the sweetest young gal. She is over here for the summer from England working at this camp .
Anywho I asked her how did it go and she told me Chris was very very homesick She said he cried on and off for 3 days Now you really have to know my boy he just is not a crier so when I heard that I was like NOOOOO He would not go in the pool once and I kid you not he loves to swim. Prior to him going to camp, we took him to the ocean and we could NOT get him out for hours. That made me sad to hear that he would not swim once
Basically, Tasha told me he is the sweetest young man, she told me he was just very homesick and the only day he perked up was Friday when he X off that day on the calendar we sent, so he could see when he would be going home. Tasha told me that as soon as he X off Friday he just got so happy, smiled big from then on.
She did say he enjoyed the arts and crafts out of everything. Chris was so cute he was holding a tee shirt in his hand and kept saying Kodi.. He made it for Kodi. They did tye (sp?) dye and he even made it her favorite color ever, Purple ;D When she got home from work tonight he ran to get it, give it to her and just beamed with pride ;D Kodi got out of her work clothes and put it on right away which made Chris smile even more ;D
He came home sick Has a cold and I think a sore throat as you can hear it when he speaks
I asked him if he had fun at camp and he just said "NO"
Colin and Kodi Lee tell me "it will go better next year..." and I am like Hmmmmm maybe he is just not a camp person, KWIM
Geeze Kodi hated day camp when she was little so really it could be that camp is just not for my Chris, KWIM
Will I try it again, Hmmmm not sure to be honest. He does fine with day camp but sleep over just may not be his thing
Its just so hard to know with his communication issues
We did send a camera and its full so when I have it developed maybe that will help me see better.
If you read this far,
I have a whole year to worry bout weather to try camp again for him but in the mean time I am one very very HAPPY Camper to have Chris home today ;D
