My original baby has been away this past week. He was in the back country with seven other boys, hiking and fishing and camping. He caught and cleaned and cooked rainbow trout out of high mountain lakes. He played in waterfalls and said he didn't miss us at all. He even FORGOT about us. That makes me very happy. He said they laughed A LOT.
We could have taken him camping, but it wouldn't be the same at all. He got to feel his way among a new group of friends. He did everything HIMSELF. He earned a nick-name.
I am, however, glad that the ginja ninja is back under our roof.
I like having all my chicks in the nest.
I just read a letter from the GINJA NINJA that he sent to Reid at camp-
ReplyDeleteDarling to say the least, I loved his cursive writing! See you soon!
Ginja Ninja?! That is too funny!
ReplyDeleteAwesome nickname! I love the fact that he forgot about you. That means his home is such a happy place that he needn't give it a second thought. Good work you're doing, Ivey!
ReplyDeleteHurray for boy camps!!! I am hoping my son will want to go to one in NC next summer. It's coed so little sis can go too, but they have special outings just for boys. Ginja Ninja is absolutely awesome.
