This week, Blink has morning day camp at the awesome artsy-science nonprofit in our neighborhood. He has been attending programs there, with PCA (an aide, essentially) support, for years. This summer, especially, it has gone pretty well. The main problem tends to be that Blink can get rather...enthusiastic when excited about something and he doesn't know when to stop asking questions. He also has trouble with cleaning up at the end of something.
So today started off a new weeklong camp -- Raiders of the Lost Junkyard. Today the teacher set out an array of electronics and tools and told the kids to dismantle away to find pieces they can use to build their own creations. Heavenly, right? Blink sure thought so. (He's making a sculpture of Boba Fett.)
I bring all this up because wonderful PCA just texted me to tell me she has been throwing up all night. So, tomorrow... I think I might try to send him solo. I could go and act as an aide, but I think that would be embarrassing to him. No, I know it would be. Then there's the little problem that his camp and his sister's let out at the same time. I suppose the thing to do would be to pick her up a few minutes early so we can be there if any clean-up strong-arming is needed at the end.
Wish us luck! This is uncharted territory.

Ooo, scary! Best of luck to the both of you.
My boy will be doing a computer animation camp in a few weeks, and it's giving me cold sweats worrying about it.
