Kelsey is getting ready to embark on this wonderful world of the Joseph Baldwin Academy...it is a 3 week intensive study for 7-9th graders at Truman State University where they take a college course. This means kelsey will be responsible for laundry, making decisions, keeping track of money and an id and she is expected to perform to the utmost of her academic ability all at once. This of course has no effect on her, she is confident and relaxed and I am writing obsessively and going over silly laundry tips over and over. She is right now readying herself for a movie with friends as I go back over the budget and the list and IM with my aunt Lori who sent two of my cousins when they were kelsey's age. Also she will not be able to have her cell phone on her which is the only point of contention for her...they are to check them in with their preceptor then are only allowed to check it out during free time (only a couple hours of free time a day). This will be quite a change from having it attached semi-permanently to her hand. I am sure she will handle all of this with grace and ease and I will be at home fine one moment and panicked the next about whether she has enough clean underwear and that her shirts aren't hung up but in a pile on the floor. So I have the bedding in the washing machine...the amount of towels have been decided and I will go get her laundry detergent and dryer sheets later. Will has requested my help in making an origami swan...gonna have to get that figured out, maybe we will have a picture of one tomorrow!!
