We've pulled out the sprinklers, crashed our friends' and families' pools and are well on our way to having a summer of fun. Popsicles on the front porch are a near-nightly staple. And Shepard discovered fire flies this week.
We hit a milestone a few weeks ago. My little man stayed overnight with
someone OTHER than a parent. He went to "Camp Giles" for a few days in
Georgia. I thought if I started talking to him about it on Monday
of that week that he would be prepared to be temporarily separated from
the two human beings who love him most and have not stopped thinking of
him since the moment they knew of his existence. I told him he was going
to stay with Gigi and Pops for a few days in Georgia. What did he think
of that?
"YES!" he said, excitedly.
When I picked him up from school later that day, he said, "Where my Gigi?"
Then, he talked about it the rest of the week. I guess he was ready.
Mommy nearly didn't let him get down the driveway, but he was so excited waving "bye, Mommy!" that I had to let him go. I'm sure it's the first of many mini-goodbyes that will evoke tears. I'm so happy that he enjoys adventures and spending time with family. Here are a few pics of his trip to Georgia.
