One word ... PATIENCE!!!

As everyone has so eloquently stated the  honeymoon is definitely over. I find myself needing more 5 minute breaks throughout the day then in first week and a half, at the same time these particular moments make for very entertaining stories in the van ride home. One of my personal goals for the camp is to work on my patience and understanding of these kids. I need to keep in mind the difficult situations that these kids are dealing with and take that into account when they are really pushing my buttons. Hopefully then I will be able to sincerely maintain a calm demeanor when dealing with certain little issues. As for the Death Scorpions I have been particularly happy with our group as a whole but this definitely has a lot to do with their age and their desire to please us. Lately they have been very compliant and well-behaved with a few little mishaps here and there, sadly most of which Kevin can take credit for. On a lighter note I was particularly happy with Seth today, he participated in a full game of whiffle ball even when the older boys joined in. Way to go Seth!!! 

Keep on trucking ladies and gents ...
