Guillermo went to magic camp this week! Ever since I read him Harry Potter, he has been really excited about magic and his face lit up when I read the camp description to him a few weeks ago. He then told Maya and I all about the spells he was going to cast on his, and none of them sounded very good.
The camp was called Magical Quest and it was at the Carolina Friends School. The kids explored legends, myths and fairtales and learned magical powers of the the natural elements. Here was the agenda for one day: Watch your dragon eggs hatch, make wizard hats and make potions, with lots of playtime mixed in of course. Guillermo brought home some curious light green liquid in a bag and said it was goop or quicksand. Another day he brought home a sorcerer's ring that he made and hung around his neck on a piece of ribbon. He had a great time and he was quick to tell me how great the playgrounds at the Friends School are. (The school is pretty cool!)
Maya, I think, also enjoyed having Guillermo at camp. She had the babysitter all to herself and had more freedom for playdates. One day, she and a friend sat outside the coffee shop next to my office, playing Guess Who and Candyland and eating Cookie Crisp cereal.
She did say that when she is old enough, she would like to go to Guillermo's camp, too. She's been quizzing him all week about what he has learned. On Thursday, she was pretty funny. She smiled sweetly at him at breakfast and in a very nice voice asked: "Guillermo, can you put a spell on me?" And then she broke into a cackle and couldn't stop laughing.
