I unpacked her bags and we made her bed.  (Top bunk, thank goodness.  She was so looking forward to having a top bunk, so I was relieved to find her sailboat name tag right on top!)  She also realized that her two THA first grade pals are in cabins 8 and 11.  Not her cabin, but close enough.  Her counselor asked if we would like to walk down to the pier (above).  Once we were down by the water, I realized that she was excited and ready to be on her own. I knew it was a perfect time.  (Not a perfect time for me, but it was time for her.)  I told her Mommy, MC and Nonnie were heading home.  She took off without even hugging me.  As she took her first step on the pier, I called her name and told her I needed a kiss bye.  She smiled, ran to me, squeezed tight and ran back to her new pals.  Bittersweet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/DSC_0298.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5902\" title=\"DSC_0298\" src=\"http:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/DSC_0298-730x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"307\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/DSC_0298-730x1024.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/DSC_0298.jpg 909w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 307px) 100vw, 307px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I am so very proud of Ms. Lillie, as she introduced herself to all of her new camp buddies and I will miss her this week more than she will ever know!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/DSC_0250.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We took McCanless to Camp Seafarer this weekend!
