Camp

Back in California I spent a few years working at summer camp as a Nature Specialist. I thought about that several times this weekend as we enjoyed Nature Storytime at the library, followed by a camping themed birthday party for Aurora's friend Seth. It was such a nice day and such a fun party. They had a nature scavenger hunt, a campfire with s'mores, and several tents set up just for fun.

Seth's mom commented that I held Clark the whole time and must be exhausted. Honestly, it's my busiest time at work and a day off just holding my baby was exactly what we both needed. He got so fussy at about the time I usually head off to work, then realized I wasn't leaving and spent the rest of the day smiling. Today he suddenly started drooling like crazy and it occurred to me that one of these days he's going to sprout teeth, start crawling, and maybe (just maybe) he won't want his mama to hold him so much anymore! I wish we could've stayed in that tent and just camped out together all week.
