My Baby Has Gone Off To Her First Camp!
When I say baby I mean my eldest baby, I haven’t shipped baby Sophie off to some kind of baby camp. Although after the last few nights of her waking every couple of hours I wish I could send her off to some kind of baby boot camp ……lol! No I’m only kidding, I’m talking about Chloe, my 10 year old. She left this morning to go to her first camp and in true Chloe style it just so happens to be a debating camp. Chloe and 3 other kids from her school (including her best friend) were selected to attend the overnight camp.
I am so excited for her, she has been looking forward to this for months and the fact that she gets to share this experience with her best friend A is very special.
It feels kind of weird here today though, even though right now she would normally be at school the house feels kind of empty and I am having trouble concentrating on anything (I’m surprised I have managed to get this far through this post), it’s not that I am worried or anxious. I’m not really sure what it is……. perhaps it’s just that I miss her!

{{{HUGS}}} How funny that several of us posted on the same topic today!!! I just LOVE the blogworld.
I’m sure she’ll have a wonderful time.

My eldest went to his first camp n late April. I felt very similar. The morning without him (and he is usually the first to rise) was particularly weird.
I am the biggest sook when my kids go off to camp….doesn’t matter if it’s their first one or fourth one! LOL
You must be a wonderful mother. The highlight of my days has been whenever one of them has been on camp. The extra peace and quiet, just some extra space in the house, I loved it and never missed them at all (I must be really terrible)
