School's Out For Summer

Like the swollen ankles of a pregnant woman in June, my heart swells with pride. I was totally stressing about Ry starting summer camp...new kids, new routine, new backpack, new experiences, new locker!! He reminded me once again how adaptable kids can be and dove right in.

Despite my desperate attempts to micro-manage everything in my life, I know that he's ready to start figuring things out on his own. It may be small, but the fact that they make their own lunches and put on their own suntan lotion just seems so grown up to me.

Today was their first field trip and he also had his first bus ride. Stop one, summer camp. Stop two, college. Sigh.
