First Mountain - Part III

Well, Anna had a delayed reaction to camp. She cried Tuesday but not for long, gratefully. And when I picked her up, she looked happy as she played at the water table with the rest of the kids in her group.

It's so strange to see my baby already in a school setting with other kids and teachers. It doesn't seem strange to see other kids enter that world especially ones I didn't know as babies. But to see Anna already interacting in this way after a little over two short years. . . well, I'm sure most of the people reading this understand how times goes even faster once you've had kids.

She cried again this morning (Thursday) but, again, not for long. She was in her bathing suit sitting on her towel with her group when I arrived. Her teacher Allison told me she really loves the water. Sometimes I think I project my own opinions of things onto Anna so I was happy to hear this report from a relative stranger.

Anna didn't seem to want to leave even after I mentioned 'lunch'. I think she was hoping to go back in the pool! Perhaps we'll head over to the local pool when she wakes up if I can muster up the energy - I've been a little under the weather for the past three days. Hopefully the cool water will do me some good as we're heading to Albany tomorrow for the weekend and traveling is no fun when you're feeling crummy!
