Mackinna was so excited for her camp today. We really talked it up last night and again this morning, so much so that Mackinna needed to pack her own snack bag the night before including an ice pack to keep her juice box cold. She was such a big girl she even borrowed Christine's LL Bean tote bag instead of taking her backpack.
I have to admit, even though we put a lot of time building up camp, I was nervous about the drop off. Mackinna and change go together like oil and water. I couldn't believe what happened when I brought her in to the museum lobby. The director looked right at Mackinna and said, welcome to theater camp whats your name, to which Mackinna proudly replied, "Mackinna". That was the first time I have ever heard Mackinna introduce herself to a total stranger. She went on to be the first to speak up about where the grocery store was located within the museum and helped lead the theater crew there to play.
I was so proud of her today! Mackinna is at best reserved in a new crowd of people and a little socially awkward but I think she found her home within the theater crowd. She lit up being there today and even took some time to perform with her brother and a new friend on the museum stage following camp. I hope the rest of the week goes as well as today.
