I know the woman was going to try to turn me down this morning, but just as she got ready to tell me they cannot attend unless they are fully potty trained, I broke in with, "but I knew you would be understanding and work with us."
Ummm, yeah, of course. So we talked for a bit and I told her of course I wouldn't expect them to change a BM and they could just call me. It sounds like it should work out just fine. I am a little sad though, the summer teachers are usually college kids, but both of those teachers graduated and got - real - jobs. This year it will be 2 high school students with a full time employee supervising. It's only a week at a time, so we'll try it the first week and we can always stop attending if it doesn't work out. I'm excited though, I can't imagine it won't work out. And think of all the typical kids she will get to be around!

Why can't they just change her diapers?
I work at a camp, I'm 20 and if a parent said "Ok she has down syndrome and isn't potty trained" I'd be like "no problem"
But then again, I'm weird. I babysat for one of my campers (a 7 year old with autism) who was so excited to see me that he puked up his dinner. I really didn't mind cleaning it up because it isn't very often that people puke out of sheer excitement when they see me!
Ok, I generally don't comment on my own blog, but that's freakin hilarious! Thanks Molly. I'll talk to the girls when I meet them this summer, maybe they're totally cool about it. I'm sure director was just trying to make it known that they are not "expected" to do any of that.
I mean seriously, once they meet her, they'll probably be like, awww, sure. Who could tell her no?!
YEAH!!!! She will charm the pants right off them....
