A perfect start to the day

A last minute decision to create the "great states adventure" camp means we cruised through the last two weeks. Literally. We had a little dog "cruiser" that traveled to each state as we did activities and learned about each of the states. Katie joined us for the two weeks adventure and it was what camp always is: fun, adventurous, memorable and exhausting (for me). The kids memorized Wacco's states and capital song and each day was truly an adventure. I plan to post pics when I find a minute. But not tonight.
Tonight, I am remembering this morning. I woke Nathan up so he would be ready for the early arrival of Nicolas. He went outside to wait at 7am. At 7:10, he came back in with a big grin. "Is Nicolas here?" "No!" he replied, "But I did see Miss Kelly (our little senile across the street) and she gave me this for breakfast." He proudly presented a mystery white package with a huge smile. "Do you know what it is?" I asked. "Nope, but Miss Kelly said I should eat it with a glass of milk and it's a perfect breakfast." "Oh did she?" I started to laugh as I explained, "Nathan, that's a ding dong!" (He has no idea what a ding dong is) "Can I have it?" I was so tempted to make him wait, but then I thought of everyone else suddenly wanting one and decided, "Why not?" After all, it's a perfect start to the day! :) So I poured him some milk, had a good laugh and watched the wonder of Nathan's first ding dong.
