BUT NOW ...
i have a 3rd grader!!
AND ...
i just left him at camp today!!
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!!!
he was SO SO SO excited!
i think i can honestly say he couldn't wait for stacey and i to leave.
thankfully, because he was so excited,
it made it easier for me.
i knew that he REALLY wanted to be there
and i trusted that he was in really good hands.
he has his friend, gordy ....
and a to-do-list that i am pretty sure they will never complete in the time they have.
-------
i came home today -
having not shed a single tear.
UNTIL ...
i went to check on ben tonight...
and he was laying in drew's bed,
hugging drew's webkins tight,
and sobbing :(
we took a minute and talked about camp - and i explained that drew was having fun,
i asked if he wanted to e-mail drew, and he did.
well, we came to write the e-mail,
and while thinking about what to tell drew about his day,
he lost it again :(
at that point ...
so did i.
so much for being the strong one ;)

How sweet that they have SUCH a close relationship! You are a great mom and have done an incredible job raising three boys. Keep up the good work!
here's hoping it goes fast for you & ben and it's a fun long week for drew & his buddy :)
ok, i think drew totally looks older - mainly b/c he's wearing his sunglasses on his head like cool older boys do :)
Sweet story!
That is so sweet!
OH poor kiddo, his best friend is gone all week! :( thats so sad, sweet, sad and sweet. HOpefully the rest of the week gets better!
Let me know how the week goes for you!! We send Isaac next week for 4 days (Early Bird Camp). He is going with a friend that is a girl, so they can't be in the same cabin, so I get a bit nervous. He is excited though too. Hope Drew is having a super fun week.
