I can't believe he is old enough (wasn't it just yesterday that he was born???), but Trevor left for Science Camp this morning. Here is is called SCICON and anyone that has lived here when they were in the 6th grade has gone. On Friday at JCPenney one of the other managers was telling us that she went to SCICON the first year they did it, and she is close to retirement so you do the math. I guess that means that for decades moms have felt how I feel today. Wanting him to go off and have fun and realize he doesn't always need me, but nervous because can they really take care of my Trevor the way I would? He will be fine and I am sure the week will fly by.
As we were loading his stuff on the bus, a boy asked Trevor if they could sit together. His name is Kristian and I think (I hope) they are in the same cabin. As they climbed the bus steps I told them to have fun and be good. Kristian said "don't worry we will take care of each other". I hope that Trevor has a good experience this week.

I am having the same growing pains that you are and this is my third and last child that I just sent to Scicon. I also went to Scicon when I was in 6th grade - with my cute 6th grade teacher from Conyer Elementary!
Don't tell me that. I have been telling myself that by the time we got to Luke going to SCICON this would be a breeze and I wouldn't feel like this. I told myself I was going to keep myself busy by cleaning. I have already done the stove, oven and microwave yesterday and today I did all the laundry and sprayed out the trash cans. Tomorrow I am unleashing myself om my bathroom. By Friday my house may actually be clean!
Oh boy! More stuff for me to worry about when my kids get older! I'm sure he's having a blast...I really hope the week flies by for you so that your worries can be put to rest!!
Did you go to camp at Moffitt? We went at Harget. I can't even remember if that's how you spell the names of both schools...I'm getting old. Have a great day.
I have tears in my eyes and Trevor isn't even my kid. I am so dreading SCICON for me but I'm excited for Andrew to have the good experience. You will have to tell me all about it. I wish we went as early as you so we could just get it over with. Hang in there. Two more days.
No science camp for me. I didn't go to any camp until I went to girl's camp.
