Camp for the girls

I took the girls (and Sebastian) to a preschool camp (the same one Parker went to last year) yesterday. It went pretty much as I expected with Elizabeth jumping right in and acting like a 4 year old and Miranda getting a bit nervous and overwhelmed, but hanging in there. I stayed the whole time since it's a co-op camp, but didn't hang out with them every second. Each had two little 'episodes', but otherwise did very well. Miranda freaked out when a rough 4 year old tried to come up the slide when she was going down and when the teacher didn't collect her ribbon after circle time. Her freak outs look like she is a deer in the headlights and she just freezes. I had to save her each time. Elizabeth started screaming MOMMMMMMMY when she dropped this big gong and couldn't pick it back up and when everyone else was dancing and she didn't want anything to do with it. Sebastian, who was about half the size of the second smallest kid, did great all day. Sure, he couldn't reach the toilet and no one could understand a word he was saying, but he thought he was a big kid and just went with the flow playing with blocks, doing the art project, running around, sitting in boats. He had a blast. Susan and I were both thrilled no one crapped their pants.

During the last circle time, the teacher read Jack and the Beanstalk (its a fairytale themed week). As soon as she said the title, Elizabeth yelled, "I have that book at home!!!!" as if that was the coolest thing ever.

Susan is taking them today while I get to hang out with Fletcher, who isn't quite ready for any kind of preschool setting.
