This morning, Davin, Ashleigh and I headed out and drove an hour to Camp Malaga. Davin was checked out (he offered to show his stomach, of course, but they did not find that necessary), checked in, and got a new camp t-shirt. (Of course we put it on right away!) I stayed for a little while and showed Sam (Davin's counselor) where I had put things in his bag and then showed how I feed him.
Then, it was time....I wasn't sure how I would feel leaving him, but I just knew. I knew it was time. He was ready to start the camp experience and he couldn't do that while I was there. God was gracious and gave me enough time to feel comfortable that Davin was in great hands. It also helped that his counselor has been doing this for 20 years. God so knows I am a baby step kind of girl.
Here is a picture of Davin and Sam:-)

You are a brave, good mom! I am sure Davin will have such a good time. I hope you can enjoy a little rest from caretaking. If you're like me you will eat your lunch is two minutes before you realize what you've done!
He has more tricks, eh? He'll make such good memories there!!!
:)
See Martha smile. I want to hear all about it one day soon.
That's awesome. I bet he's thrilled to be there! :)
Hope you have a wonderful, relaxing time without him. We all need that break! And then it's SO wonderful to see them again! :)
Sam looks like he is very capable and has a big heart. I hope Davin has a great time!
Old tricks? Oh my. haha.
I don't know how you did this? You rock as a mom!
