We have had a good week over here. Rye has been doing well and we’ve been having fun.
We had what felt a million doctor appointments on Tuesday, Wednesday we stayed home and did house work, Thursday Rye hung out with a friend and then Friday I took him and his friend to the amusement park. We had a blast. We were there for 8 hours and stayed well into the evening where they took part in a dance party. It was hilarious and they loved it. We are having quite the amusement park summer.
Today Rye headed out to sleep-away summer camp. This is his first time to go to camp where he sleeps there and despite being very anxious for most of the day and throwing up last night from nerves over going, he made it there and I think he’ll have a good time. It’s a small Christian camp and doesn’t have too many kids so its a good size for a starter camp. Rye is so social and active I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t love it. I mean, summer camp is a rite of passage, no? You have to go just so you can relate to the movie ‘Meatballs’ if nothing else. But if he implodes and falls apart, the worst case scenario is they call us to come get him early (I didn’t tell them he is bipolar so let’s see how that works out. I figure I’m not sure how much it would help for them to know. As long as he takes the Depakote he should be fine. I think. We’ll see…lol…). But at least he will have tried.
So, assuming all goes well, Don and I are free from parenting duties this week. This in and of itself is worthy of celebration. Don has to work every day but that’s ok. We have every evening alone together. Nice, nice, nice!! I can already feel my whole system whomping down and relaxing. It feels great.
Let the adult-only festivities begin!!
