She's Not So Little Anymore

She still sits on my lap...every morning she crawls out of bed

She still wants me to put her to bed and have Chocolate Cake time (one-on-one with mommy only!)

She still asks me to sit and color with her

We make crafts together and she loves for me to read to her

I am actually quite surprised by the list I just typed! You would think that I was talking about my 7 or 8 year old daughter. But alas, my "little" girl is only a few months shy of tuning 15!So what monumental event took place today that finally gave me the need and time to sit and blog about it?

I knew you would ask!

At 7:30 this morning, I dropped my precious daughter off to her first camp - ever! And yes...I teared up :(

I am excited for her as I know this will be an incredible opportunity. She is going with her best friend, who is also profoundly deaf, to Camp Cavett. Their motto is "The illness or disability does not define the child." This camp is completely sponsored by the OU Medical Center at no charge to the campers and is only for those children who have an illness or disability. Here is their website if you would like to learn more:

Five days...three hours away....no one to share my clothes with...I'll probably be okay till around Friday morning and then I'm pretty sure I'll have a small mental breakdown!

She's in the Lord's hands and although I trust Him explicitly with her life, I still would like to know how in the world she managed to get to 14 years old so quickly :)
