Crumpled Home

LR happily went on her way to Year 3 school camp yesterday. While many kids required their parents to go, and other children permitted theirs, LR absolutely refused to consider either her mum or dad coming along. It just wasn’t going to happen.

We’re not particularly surprised. After all, she did the same last year and the year before. I suspect we’ve only got a few months before she moves out into her own apartment.

LR enjoys a quiet moment after checking that everything is packed and ready to go (twice).

LR head off to her first school camp yesterday. A lot of other kids have their parents coming along, but LR insisted that we were absolutely not welcome and should stay at home. Sunday afternoon was spent packing and getting everything ready. As usual, we’re way more worried about this than she is, but we’re trying to be brave.

Mum: Okay LR, it’s time for me to go.

LR: Okay mum! I’m going to have a great adventure now. See you! (waves goodbye and runs off)

Mum and LR get all her things sorted for camp.
