Normal...At Least For Us

Posted by Vulnadia on Jul 19, 2009 at 09:51 PM It's so funny, really. We are about to start our last week of the 3 week Renzi Film Camp stint. Bregon started out with quite a bang this year, unfortunately for him. You see, I did something I probably ought not to have. He had a Doctor's appointment that Friday before camp started, and she upped his medication dose because he has grown so every much over the past few months. It is time for a medication adjustment, really it is, but I should have waited until I could monitor everything a bit more for him to actually start the new dose. That happened to coincide with the weekend we went over to Dallas for the Haunted House Event. He took one new dose Saturday, one on Sunday, then promptly forgot to take his pill in all his excitement and us getting into the new routine of film camp on Monday. So, he had some interesting moments in class that day and did some very uncharacteristic things which got him into some trouble. In ironing everything out, it finally dawned on me what had happened and he had much apologizing to do. He didn't do anything too awful, just part of being a kid, but oh my goodness! On an interesting note, we discovered that an old friend of mine from college is in charge of his film group at camp...that was neat to find an old friend! The next day, it just soo happened that another friend of mine who happens to be in charge of the younger kids group, needed some stage combat choreographed for his movie. He had asked Husband, who couldn't make it because of work. But Husband pointed out that Bregon knows just as much really and is fully capable of handling everything in that area. So, they decided to give it a spin and try Bregon out on the movie set. Low and behold, they discovered that, when the college kids can't even control the younger kids, that Bregon can do it without even batting an eyelash. He even managed to not only keep their attention and the kids on task, but managed to somehow get those fights safely choreographed and where the kids could remember them. Meanwhile, he was also working with his own group on their own film in a different area. Everyone is amazed at how well Bregon does with the younger kids and how he can make them listen and do what he says without seeming to even try. But then again, he has been trained to teach for years at the fencing sal and out at faire. It's too funny now. Every time we go up to Renzi, the babies all toss their hands up in the air and scream, "Yay!!!!" They all have to get out and go inside as if they belong there. They always go and find Mr Chuck and Ms Amy and look for their friend Maggie too. They have this thing about going and feeding Nemo every afternoon now as well (the fishies who live in the fish tank behind Ms Amy's desk.) Tomorrow, Kian will be loaning Mr Chuck his Fluffy (a rather large latex python) that he likes to use as a pillow upstairs in his bed ever since he stole him out of my bedroom last November when we brought him home from the haunt. Bregon will begin shooting his scenes for his group's movie too. They need posters and wall hangings for his Cell, (his is a Hannibal Lector type character) and we are going to send his huge Bruce Lee wall hanging, and two of the 8 foot canvas paintings that I use out at the Haunt. Things seem to be heading towards normal for us after a time...for a time!
