Today was Alek's first day of camp. He is going twice a week for a month. I think mommy was more nervous than Alek. He walked in excitedly and loved checking out all the new toys and books. Then we went outside to the playground and off he ran. He came back to tell me how neat it was a couple times, then I told him mommy was headed to work, he gave me hugs and kisses and then ran back for a high five.
I sat outside and watched him play. I still can't believe my baby is old enough for this. I was thinking about all those years I worked day camp and all those little cute 4 year olds I taught in the pool and now I am the mom to one.
Kevin and I were both excited to pick him up, but I got to do it. He was playing trucks with two little boys when I got there. They said he did great and he loved the pool, which is not a surprise. They said he did great during lesson time in the water and loved the games they played.
He was so happy, he said he loved camp and loved the pool.
He told me he was too excited to take a nap there, but he would try next time.
I am happy it all worked out, although now we are thinking maybe we should have signed him up for June and July!
So here is our little camper in his new camp shirt!

How cute! It's great that he enjoys every bit of summer camp, though I am sure it's hard for you to believe he is growing up.
It's amazing how fast they grow up! So glad that Alek loves camp though.
