Tomorrow the kids start two different adventures. Eva will be participating in Freshman Academy at Feehan and Andy will be starting archery camp. Both kids are a bit nervous and express those nerves in very different ways.
Eva being a teenager her anxiety is manifested in snark. For Andy his anxiety manifests as not being able to sleep. Finally Allison read him a book in monotone to knock him out.
I know that both kids will enjoy their experiences despite these initial anxious feelings.
My boy has started trying to scare his sister by jumping up out of her bed. You’d think that this would be difficult to do but because Eva keeps so much stuff on her bed you can hide in there like ET did in Gertie’s closet. So, for the past couple of nights he’s climbed into her bed and hidden there until she comes in. Tonight he popped out and she screamed and then started laughing. They were both laughing so much.
Of course, he had better watch out because as she continues to take Krav Maga classes she may have the muscle memory to respond with an elbow to the face when getting a jump scare from her brother.
