One week left here in the woods.
All of our CITs have completed their requirements and either graduated and are ready to be staff members or are ready to move on to the second year of the program. There were a few hiccups along the way, but a number of them really blossomed and emerged as leaders. I am so very proud of all their hard work.
It was difficult at times to let them lead the way and make mistakes, but in doing so I believe that I've had a tiny taste of parenthood. (They do call us the "CIT Mom's," after all.)
Five of them are staying to intern, or "cintern," as we say. And two of them have been hired for the upcoming "Gypsy Week" session that begins tomorrow. In short, Gypsy Week means thirty eight 7-9 year olds descending upon CJL. And anything is bound to happen.
In other news, I co-hosted the talent show last night with our program director, Kellly. She rocked a red leotard, and I dressed as a lion. A special shout-out to Liz Hilliker for lending me the lion's mane and tail!
