Just dropped off Derek at camp, for his first time, for a two-night deal. He is THRILLED to the moon, as his whole cabin erupted in an impromptu soccer game at drop-off time.
Me, I feel as if I lost something somewhere. I’m so excited for him, and this huge leap of independence, but that’s not taking away the pit in my stomach.
A good run will take care of that icky feeling … right? Right??

You’re so right, Jeff. I just hung up his cape and thought the very same thing.
Mark: nope. Still not working. But thanks for your help!

Every time our little ones show another step toward independence I feel a little pit in my stomach too. And they are only 1 and 3 right now. I just keep reminding myself that their confidence and zest for independence means that we are doing our job right. Camp is going to be a tough one though.
Have a good run!
