We have just returned from our summer camping holiday
Miss P your bubbly smiling happy personality brings me so much joy .. .. .. you loved the freedom of having your moon boot off and being allowed to swim and play in the sand. The occasional grumble when we needed to put it back on, however, you took it all in your stride knowing it is not long now and you can climb trees again. You loved still being able to fit in your 'baby' camping bath and as for camping with 11 other of your friends, for your social personality that was the absolute be all and end all.
Mr Z .. .. .. my sweet sensitive boy, oh my heart aches for you and your sensitivity. Whilst others say you need to toughen up and get over your hurt feelings, I understand the hurt and want to shelter you from it. How can I expect you to learn at 9 years what I still struggle with at 40?
You had such a great time camping with your friends, showing them 'your' spots at 'your' campground and relished in the freedom and trust we gave you to venture even further from our sights and ride the mountain bike trail with your friends.

My they are growing up so fast. Glad to hear you had such a nice vacation.
Have you ever read The Highly Sensitive Child?
Love the bucket pool!
Camping is always fun, what a great way to end the holidays.
Sounds like a lovely experience for both of your kids, social and sensitive alike :) x
