I have a scary monster face!

Touching Camp Story #1:

For the first few days of camp, Ty was REALLY shy. He pretty much didn't talk to anyone but me until Tuesday, especially if we were in a large group of people. So sometime Sunday afternoon, we're all hanging out outside of the cabin and the boys are making scary monster faces and roaring and such because, well, that's what little boys do. Skipper, the camp director, also happened to be there on his golf cart and noticed that Ty wasn't making any scary faces or anything so he got down and asked if he could show him a really scary monster face. Now is where I wish I had a picture of Skipper...let's just say he's a fairly big guy, so to your average four year old, he's probably pretty imposing. So poor Ty is probably scared out of his mind and just shakes his head no!!! really fast.

All was not lost, however, lol, because about twenty minutes later when the roaring monsters and Skipper had dispersed, Ty taps me on the leg and whispers: "I have a scawy monster face now," and then he makes some adorable little contorted face and roars. Too cute!! I felt all warm and fuzzy inside...this is totally why I LOVE children, btw...knowing that he already felt comfortable with/liked me.

-sigh- I can't wait til I can go visit him!
