Today was Asher’s first day of sports camp! He’s been looking forward to this for weeks! Soccer, basketball, tennis, swimmming… all day every day for two weeks.
“Im a soccer player,” he explains to the teenager registering us. “Great! and don’t forget to wear your colored shirt on Tuesdays and Thursdays.”
We walk into the gym, where all the counselors and campers wait on the bleachers. He knows one other person. He meets Max a fellow 6 year old, in the registration line. Now he knows two.
“Okay, are you all set?”
“Yup!” He starts hopping down the steps and finds a place to sit.
“Wait! Give me a hug and a kiss.”
“Bye Mom!”
“Bye!”
And that’s that. A confident, happy, independent, camper. I think he’s on a fantastic journey.
