I couldn't sleep all night thinking about the big goodbye this morning - he has never been away from home without a "caretaker" (i.e. Me/Charlie/Maria/family), so I didn't know how he would do. And charlie kept saying I had to be tough if he cried and not drag it out, so I was a bit nervous.
After much preparation, packing various items, and discussing camp ALL weekend (and how he would see Zachary), the drop off went something like this:
"Bye Mama. I Wuv U...Can I play with this big airplane now?".
Mom, meanwhile, was on the verge of tears. But I stayed strong!
Needless to say, he loved it. Barely noticed me leaving (or coming to pick him up), sang the whole car ride home, told me what he did (Yoga, drove a big car, got a cookie). If all stays the same from here, camp will be a big success. Some pics of his first day - the second one is him saying "CHEESE"... just not at the camera.
