It's over

Yesterday was the last day of Chandler's soccer camp. No more running all over town everyday with soaring gas prices! Yay! :-P

Last day pictures- Relay race. Look at that runners form! lol

Getting in the thick of it to get the ball.

Receiving his end of camp reward bag from Coach Chris.

Certificate of Completion.

He did a great job. It was very hot most of the days but he worked hard and never complained.

Oh I forgot to write about this. The second day there were a few tears again when I had to drop him off and run to get him water. He was clingy and Taylor was even with him because her morning session canceled due to the rain. Anyways, later that evening, I was talking to him about that and how tomorrow I'd have to leave again to pick up Taylor but his friends and his friends moms would be there so we weren't going to have tears. His eyes welled up just thinking about it and he said he just didn't want me to leave. I asked him why and he told me that he kept thinking of the dream he'd had in Oklahoma. He said in his dream that I drove away from him and I never came back! He said he cried and called me over and over but I didn't listen. He had never told me about that. I was so sad for my boy -to think he'd kept that bottled up for so long and was afraid it might actually happen. His reaction suddenly made a lot more sense and I was just heart broken for him. It was such a horrible dream for a little boy to have!!

I gathered him up in my arms and assured him I would never, never leave him. I might be gone for a little while, but I would ALWAYS come back for him. He never needed to worry about that. I told him my kids are the most important thing to me in the world and I'd never leave them ever. I guess that was all he needed, a little extra love and reassurance. He did fine the next two days. :)

I think I take his happy-go-lucky nature for granted sometimes. He so rarely gets upset by things and when he does I don't give it the attention it needs. It usually takes something very important to upset him and I have to remember that. :/

I'm learning, ever learning how to be a better mom! :)
