Last week they "graduated" from their pre-K class at daycare...this thrust them into the world of the BIG kids and the summer day camp that the daycare runs...
at first I was a little weary...after all they are only 5...and fairly newly 5 at that...
then I got the list of activities...swimming, bowling, baseball games, trips to the ice cream parlor...movies...heck I want to be a kid again....
but then I thought man they are going from a class of 12 kids and 2 teachers into a day camp unit of 20 (ages 5-7)...with only 2 teachers over all those kids...could they handle it? Will they be ok?
Monday evening we picked them up - and thier eyes were bright and shiney and they couldn't stop talking about everything they did that day...most of which consisted of a field trip to the local snow shack and some coloring...
but the absolute best thing...the thing that I will forever be grateful for daycamp...
BOTH of them were in bed and ASLEEP by 8:15 pm....sweet heaven above I thought I heard the angels singing on high...
and yesterday they went to a local baseball game...in bed...ASLEEP by 8:10 pm
THANK YOU...THANK YOU...THANK YOU daycamp....

That is the best! What big girls you have. I'm trying to keep my kids outside as much as possible - for that very reason - good sleepers!
