January 26, 2012 - Beaver Camp :( and :)

So, the Boy is going to camp this weekend.  In some ways I am looking forward to spending the weekend with the Girl and Baby, but on the other hand I am going to miss my big Boy.  I love his sweet smile and good night hugs, I know I won't be there to tuck him in for two whole nights.  I will be looking at his empty bed and be missing him.  But I do know that he will have an awesome time at camp, he went for one night last year.  He is looking forward to the independance that going away for a weekend brings (and proabaly less nagging).  The Husband will join him for the second night and then bring him home on Sunday.  I am hoping to get more of the baptism preparations done this weekend, but who knows I might end up baking with the Girl, she has been asking to make cookies and her easy bake cakes for a while now!

Tonight while the Boy was packing his stuff, he was faces with a dilemma. He can bring a "teddy bear" to camp. The Boy has been sleeping with his "Bobo" (stuffed build-a-bear monkey) since he was about a year old. Bobo is his favorite, but now every night before I tuck him in, he sets up his bed. He makes sure that all his stuffed animals have a spot on a pillow and hat the blankets are not covering their faces.  His animals inclusde:  Bobo and Buster (stuffed dog), as well as his end of year gift from his grade one teacher (small teddy) and the small Webkinz birds that I gave him after the Baby was born. Remember he has a single bed. When we told him he could only bring one he was a little sad. He even told me that if he took Bobo to camp the others would really miss him. I had to assure him that I would say goodnight to them while he was gone. Bobo is ready for camp, and I am sure he will have fun too:)
