So, Sid and Joann called last night to see if JD could go camping with them in their new RV this weekend. My first initial instinct was to say no, but i am trying to not be so protective of him, so Kevin told them that he could, and so begins the packing... They are leaving today at 2:oo, and they won't be back until Sunday afternoon.
I placed two outfits containing everything he would need for that particular day(underwear and socks), rolled them up separately and ruber-banded them so that he would not have to wonder where I put his socks and such, and I did the same to his two pairs of pj's. (He is putting all of this in his book bag) Them I had his camp chair, but I couldn't fit it in his book-bag, so i managed to wrap the arm holes of the book-bag around the chair on the back part of the bag, so he can have a chair to sit on (I wouldn't want him to have to sit in the dirt or on a log) then, I remembered that he is allergic to bees and hornets, so i packed him his benadryl and a medicine dropper and taped a note to the benadryl telling them how much to give him if by chance he gets stung. Then, I remembered that he sometimes has growing pains in his legs, so i packed him some Tylenol with a dropper and a note to explain how much to give him. Then I realized that although Joann is a nurse, she never has band-aids, so I packed him some. then I remembered that last time we went camping, he got burned by a hot coal that popped out at him from the fire, so I packed him some burn cream. Then I remembered that he is highly sensitive to the sun, so I packed him some sunblock and a hat. I don't know if they are going to play in the water or whatever, so I packed him an extra shirt just to be safe. then I thought, you can't go camping with out a flashlight, although he is under strict orders not to go out of the RV after dark, but I packed him a flashlight just to be safe. I also packed him some children's pepto-bismal because there is a good chance that his stomach might get to hurting because....., well, better safe than sorry. I also packed him a warm sweater and a hoodie because I have no idea how cold it will get in the late afternoon part of the day..... Now, my question to you is... do you think that i went a little overboard?? Oh, I also packed him some hand sanitizer, and connect 4 and a three pack of playdough just in case they get bored.
