yes, it is hard. I remember how hard it was for me with my oldest DD. I also walked away with tears in my eyes. It is a good experience for them. Have to keep telling yourself that. No doubt he will have so much fun and yes he will be fine.

The only thing he lost was his water shoes, and he came home with an extra pair of shorts. He did break his glasses somehow but is due for a new pair anyways so it wasn't to bad.
When I picked him up on Friday he said, "mom, mom come meet my counselor, he has a fake ear." And then he proceeds to run off with me following after him. He runs up to this teenager and says "Mr. C, this is mom, show her your ear." At which the teenager proceeds to pull off his ear and hold it out to me and said "I let them play with it".
I wasn't really sure what to say so I said, "oh, cool!"
All the 8 year old boys thought it was the neatest thing that his ear came off, they kept telling us over and over again, I think each one of them we spoke too said, "our counselor can take his ear off." It was a really good ear though, I would have never guessed it for a fake if he wouldn't have pulled it off the side of his head. He had shared with the boys why he had a fake ear, etc., what they did to fix it, had a really great attitude about it.
