My Little Fox (not a tiger!)

This is a rare thing indeed.  Boylee rarely allows facepaint near him.

Success!

It was a great day!  He wants to stay in the older group!  And we planned a playdate with Mark for tomorrow afternoon!  And there's going to be a zip line! And he came home covered in sand!  That is a great, great day!

First Day of Camp!

Boylee was nervous and so was I.   I'm keeping my fingers crossed that today goes well - as always, he was put in the correct group for his age, but the one boy he really knows well here, Mark, is in a younger group.  Boylee wanted to switch...I sort of wanted him to get a chance to branch out and make new friends, knowing that we can have plenty of playdates with Mark outside of camp...I'm not sure I did the right thing but I told him that the camp was too full for switching today, and if he still wanted to switch we could talk about it at the end of the day.  Aargh.

Today all the groups are together on the beach, anyway, so he and Mark can play all they want.

And then if he sticks with his proper group, here's what they've got planned for the week:  meet some scientists working to remove an invasive crab species, beach swimming, tennis, "bird drawing class," clay pit-play, more beach time, Audubon visit, art, costumes & dancing, soccer and a fashion show.  I'm not sure he'll be into the fashion show.

He has two counselors.  The girl, Ellie, was his counselor two years ago and gave him a big welcome.  The other, Daniel, is new and seems very cool in a way that Boylee will probably like:  he looks like he skateboards a lot.

I'm really, really hoping he comes home happy.
