Nate is off to football camp today. I remember 4 years ago when we took him to camp. We spent days getting things together; Dan and I both went; we helped him get his room all set up, and we made sure he was all situated before we left. After 4 years things change.
Nate got his stuff together (in about 2 hours); he loaded up the truck(while Dan and I sat and watched a movie), and left while Dan and I were at the gym. While part of me was a little sad that he didn't say goodbye, another part of me was happy that he is back where he belongs.
There were a few things he forgot - luckily we do live close enough and dropped them off for him on our way to lunch. No we didn't go in to see his room. We sent him a text telling him to meet us outside. As we waited for him we were watching all the parents helping their freshman sons. Four years ago I was not ready for my boys to launch into their own lives. Now everyone is ready. The boys want to be on their own and we WANT them on their own!
