Adam is having a great time in his "Crafty with Food" camp with Aunt Brelle and Young Chef's Academy! Yesterday was all, "Guess what?", "You know what?", and "And THEN....." when he was telling me about his day. Soo many cool ''spearmints" going on and yummy food being made...and eaten! I love how he explains all the experiments and how he makes the food in the afternoon. He's pretty detailed!
Eating lunch in the cafeteria is another cool new experience for him. He thinks the cafeteria is really cool. It's like a "restranaut" with all the people talking and all the choices. The only problem he has had is that he has been dropping his food - it just slips off his plate. He was all like "I'm not very good at carrying food on plates." Thankfully someone had seen it and helped him clean up and get some new food. Yesterday he said he got a corn dog, 2 pieces of bread - plain, and chocolate milk. It cracked me up to hear that. He just felt like getting 2 pieces of bread with his dog! Today he just got chicken nuggets. Can't wait to hear about tomorrow since he doesn't like hamburgers but maybe if everyone else is eating, he will too. Seems to work when he cooks in the afternoon. He told me how when he's done he has to put his plate in one place and the silverware in a slot for the chef to clean. Ha ha!
After lunch the kids gets free time. They get to choose to go to the pool, the computer lab, or play outside. He really thought he would want to swim everyday. He tried it yesterday and said it wasn't as fun as he thought. Today he was going to go to the computer lab if it rained or outside if it didn't. Well, it didn't. I asked him if he had fun since he said the kids yesterday said going outside is the best! Umm...it was "horrible". What?? Apparently the boys have some kind of ball game they like to play. Adam said it was like a combo of volleyball and dodge ball. He didn't want to play that game and got sad that none of the boys wanted to go play on the playground. He said he stood by the fence and cried. :( One of the counselors played UNO with him and then some girls came to play but it was time to go in. So, tomorrow he's going to see what the computer lab is.
I tried to explain to him that if he is only one out of a group that they aren't going to all stop what they are doing if they are all enjoying the game. I also said that he could play with the girls. They like to swing, play tag, and play hide-and-go-seek. I think he just gets so used to finding at least one boy at the parks that he was surprised when none of the boys wanted to play with him. It was soo sad tonight at bed time because he said everybody ignores him. I think it's more that if he doesn't get his way, he thinks he's being ignored but it still breaks my heart to hear that
