summer camp


My little girl. My big girl. So this is how it happens. This is how they grow up on you. Not in a single moment but in a thousand heartbreaking tiny epiphanies. Tiny moments when you realize they are something different that day. You are both a little older and they need you just a little less and you realize that this is all going to be a little bit harder than you thought. And so it was that Schuyler went to her first half day camp. Just a couple of days a week to test drive her new school. And she loved it. Absolutely loved it. "who was there, Schuyler?"
"all de friends!"
"how many?"
(holding up both hands) "this many! No, daddy, you hold up your hands too! Dat many!"
