Back From Camp
Back from Scout Day Camp. Nathan and I arrived just a few minutes after 8:00 yesterday morning. I put on my camp shirt, but I guess I should have known better than to put his Lego Star Wars shirt. There was no getting him to take it off and put on a neon green t-shirt. Peer pressure doesn’t work on him, he couldn’t have been less interested that all the other boys had on the same shirt that I was trying to get him to put on.
It was a beautiful morning, not too hot. After the usual ruckus of trying to get hundreds of boys to their appointed stations, we made it to his. It was a discussion on the solar system. Naming the planets, learning how far they were…and that was as long as he lasted. I do work with him on participating and try to help him learn about being part of a group. But, when things are so out of his area of interest and understanding I have to really think about who I am doing it for. Is it for him? Is it for me? Or is it for others?
