Kallie,
You currently struggle with new situations. It causes great stress and anxiety and it keeps you up at night. Today you had to start vacation bible school and a singing and dancing camp. We have gone to VBS since you were 3 but the other camp was new. Last week Camille's mom called and asked if you would like to be in it.
Today when I dropped you off at both activities you did great even though I know you were struggling on the inside.
When I picked you up from VBS I saw Katy's mom and she told me that Katy would not have come to VBS if you were not in her group. Then later I picked you up from the dance camp I asked Camille if she was happy to have you there and she said, "yes, Kallie makes me feel comfortable to be here."
Kallie, so even though you struggle with new situations you also make new situations easy for other people and I realized that for the first time today. You are not the crazy kid in group situations. You have a calm demeanor that many of your friends appreciate. I wish you could understand this now but I know that will take several years.
