First Day at Summer Camp

I have to admit, I was a little worried dropping J off at summer camp this morning. He didn't know anyone there, neither did we for that matter. We've never been to the club where the camp is held. Would the camp counsellors understand him if he wanted to use the toilet? (Yeah, except for at night, J is potty trained! Yay!) And it would have been the first time J was away from us for so long since coming to Claremont. So, I was the anxious mother this morning.


But once again, he was fine without me. In fact, he had been so looking forward to going. When I picked him up, all the kids were watching The Little Mermaid, J included. He came out showing off his artwork (see below). He told me he went to the toilet by himself "two times". He had biscuits for snack time. And he even went swimming too. (Although I think wading is probably a more accurate description.)



The house was strangely quiet with J out. Poor E was so bored without Kor-kor around. She didn't know what to do with herself. When I asked her if she wanted to come with me to pick J up, she just ran to get her shoes!

Here's K clowning around with the kids one night after dinner.

Sarah said, "God has brought me laughter".

Genesis 21:6

There are few sounds more wonderful than J and E's belly laughs. And how I thank God for those beautiful sounds.

PS. We had our first rain since arriving in Claremont this morning. It only took us almost three months to see rain. It was just a shower, but still it was rain! I never was that keen on rain back home, but with all the aridity here, rain is a blessing!
