Camp

We were so glad to see Reggie when he got home from cub scout camp at Camp Royaneh!!!  He didn't take a shower the entire time, but he survived!  He said he couldn't find his soap...hmmm.  He at least changed his clothes and remembered his retainer almost every night!  Camping is such a dirty/dusty activity and his clothes were so filthy he looked like he could have been a street kid :o(.  We threw him in the shower right when he got home, made him cut his fingernails and he looked brand new.  His favorite thing about camp was the archery and BB gun shooting.  It was interesting to hear some of the stories.  He doesn't usually chat much, except about toys, but I was hoping to hear all about it.  We were able to drag some info. out of him...like he wouldn't do it again because the boys stayed up so late talking and he didn't get a good night sleep until one of the boys went home sick the last night.  He ate all but 2 meals that looked sketchy to him and had a salad instead :o).  They had a $20 snack card, but he chose to buy a snake light and rabbit fur, so he had no money for snacks.  I asked him if he was starving and he said that he made his stomach hurt at mealtime, eating so much, so he wasn't ever really hungry-that's a Wade for you!

We've had a little adjustment back to reality though.  I think he got used to doing his own thing and when
we asked him to do anything, we got some serious attitude.  I was wondering if they sent someone else's kid home!  It also had some catching up to do on sleep.  It has gotten better, but he is still challenging us...maybe it is an age thing?  We are lucky he didn't get sick (2 of his friends had to leave early) and came home in one piece...another friend broke his 2 front teeth and they looked like fangs :o(.

Switching gears...we just got his test scores from last year in the mail and were pleasantly surprised.  Reggie struggled so much with reading and even a bit with math, but things seemed to click in the middle of second grade and he is actually doing above average :o).    Sorry about the pics...can't figure out how to rotate them.

 Looks like Algebra might come easy to him!
