Camp!

Dear Liam,
You are LOVING day camp at the Y this summer! You were worried about it at first, I think because of the fact that you thought they were going to force you to take a swimming test. But, they didn't. You are running and being active and are outside almost all day. You are exhausted at night, and fall asleep within seconds. Lots of other kids from your school are there, which definitely helps you feel safe. I think we will send you there again next summer. It's so convenient (close to home), and just perfect for you.

We've been reading before bed most nights. You're almost done with filling out your stars for the summer reading program. Your reading just keeps improving. Your handwriting is another story. You are still making some of your letters and numbers backwards, but I know that you'll get them right soon.

I can't believe how quickly this summer is flying by. You really just have June and July off from school. We go to school on Friday, July 31, to meet your teacher and drop off your school supplies, and then you start first grade on Monday, August 3. Crazy. So, you're just at camp still next week, then home with Grandma for a week, then back to camp for a week. The last week before school starts, you'll be at work with me or we'll take some days off. We've gone to the fair that week the last couple years, and I know you always enjoy that, so we'll do that again sometime that week.

School supplies are out in the stores now, so I guess that means school really is starting soon. I can't even believe you're going to be in first grade! A "grader"! My big boy.

I love you.

Love,
Mommy
