Today marked the first day of summer camp (Whales, Sharks, & Mermaids) at our local Little Gym and this was the first year that I had two campers in attendance instead of one! Lola joined her big brother for three hours of fun today instead of going home to take a nap! It was such a big moment for her, she is growing up so fast!
Not going to lie and say I wasn't nervous for her. She is very funny about having me leave her and always wants me to go into class with her. She has quite a bit of anxiety if/when I leave her. I am sure this has to do with her dance class that we recently put a hold on going to until she feels more ready on her own to be at. It took about five minutes of coaxing to get her to even get into the front door, another 10 to talk her into just trying out the equipment (she knows this place, we went there for about a year and a half of her life) and me an hour to say, "peace out sister!" before she felt comfortable on her own! I snuck in to tell her I was leaving and that I forgot my phone at home (which I really did), that I would 'be right back', little did she know I wasn't coming back until pick up time, two hours later!
She couldn't have done it without her big brother, that is for sure! He held her hand and followed her wherever she wanted to go the first 20 minutes or so of her getting into the gym to play. He was so sweet to her. I am sure he wanted to go run around on his own (he had a few friends there), but she begged him to stay by her, and he did. Heart melting mommy moment for sure to see his love for her. Whenever they had to sit in a group or move around the room, she made sure she was by her 'brothie'.
They can't wait for next week (Who's Your Hero?)!
