A hard time......(updated at the bottom!)

My little Jman has been on my mind all day.
We got 'the' call last night.
The call, at 9:45 p.m., saying, "he's having a hard time adjusting".
He was not participating. He started crying.
Sweet Mrs. Tara had removed him from the large crowd, late night, LOUD group time.
He was tired, over stimulated, hungry, and just not doing well.

I talked to him.
He said, "I'm just tired. I've had some fun." Between sobs.....
Dad talked to him.
He said, "I'm not having any fun!"
I cried.
Should Dad go get him?
At least he's 10 minutes away although, we'd have driven across the state if he'd needed to come home!
We all decided we'd see if things got better, once they got to the dorm room, it was quiet, he could eat a snack, and go to bed!

Awesome Mr. Gary called at 10:15 p.m.
Jman has calmed down.
He is feeling better and excited to be in the same room with best buddy Nman.
Mr. Gary is literally right across the hall. Will sleep with his door open and showed Jman exactly where and how to find him if he needed him in the night.

I literally cried myself to sleep, worried about my first baby.
At this point, Coach Dad wants to go get him just so Mama will not be upset!

Mrs. Brittany called this morning, 7:45 a.m.
Jman had a good night!
He slept well, except for complaining he got cold. The blanket I sent is probably too small!
He was eating a good breakfast. They had lots of fun activities planned for the day.

Went to church this morning.
Set the phone to vibrate and told Coach to keep it in his pocket at all times!
Asked for prayer in Sunday School class, for all campers and leaders, and especially for my sweet little man.
No one called!
Made it through lunch and Sunday afternoon naps, no one called!

Called to check about 4:20 p.m.
He has had a FANTASTIC day!
They went swimming.
Had other fun stuff coming up. Group study time and worship.

He still has the night to go!
But now he knows what to expect. Now, he should be prepared.
Now, he should feel comfortable with those other parents who are there to care for him.

Thank you God for the dear people and friends who went along to chaperon this trip. Thank you Lord that they are loving and serving my baby!

Praying now that he has a good night tonight and another awesome day tomorrow! Lord, I want him to have a wonderful church camp experience so that he will want to go for many years!

Update Monday a.m.:

No calls last night! No news is terrific news!
Nman's mom called, about 9:40 p.m.
We froze! Just knew it was them!
She was calling to let us know that there was a picture on the camp website of Jman on stage!

He went on stage last night!
With our Children's Ministry Director and some guys from the group!
We were so stinkin' excited! He felt comfortable enough to go on stage!
Such a change from night #1!!!

Here's my little man! Third from your left, looking up at something??!!
So thankful he is comfortable now and having a good time!
Can't wait to go get him tomorrow! Four days was just the right amount of time for this First Time Camp Mama!!
Will have to post his thoughts on things when he gets back!

Blessings,
