Son Rock, Kid's Camp! Son Rock, Kid's Camp!

Micah chanted this all week long as he went to Kid's Camp for the first time. His Vacation Bible School (VBS), a week long program where he and other 3-year-olds play games outside, do crafts, have music and snack time, and learn a story about the bible, was an absolute blast for him. They gave him a T-shirt that says Son Rock and I can't tell you what a struggle it was to make him part with it so I could wash it for the next day.


He was really excited for "school" each day. I was worried that maybe he would be afraid after I dropped him off. But, after he met some new friends, it was like "Mommy, Who?" Every morning, I got a quick wave goodbye as he would run to meet his new pals. He never looked back.


With a big sigh, I came to realize that Micah was growing up. He didn't quite need his mommy as much. That's okay. I love his independence and his desire to engage with people. Truly, I got to spend more one-on-one time with Caelan, something second-born children never really get.


Funny story: As we pulled away from VBS, two minutes into the car ride -- Caelan would look at Micah's empty carseat, and was quiet for a few seconds before discovering a startling truth. He started screaming, "UH OH! UH OH! Micah! UH OH! Micah!" It was simply hilarious. He had NEVER once been in the car without his brother. He seemed devastated. After we had breakfast together though, just mommy and Caelan, he got over it real quick. Smart little guy.
