What are you doing this weekend? I just dropped Anton off at sleepaway camp in Vermont. It’s his first time! I think about Anton all the time and hope he’s having fun. Can any experienced parents give me some tips on how to calm my nerves? I never went to camp when I was a kid so this is all new to me. Hope you guys are having a great time and here are some links from the web…

Plus, three reader comments:
Kristin tells Erica Berink about her outfit of the week: “I’m 5’11” and in all the pictures I took as a teenager and in my twenties, I was either hunched over or squatting. Now that I have a tall daughter, I’ve decided to own my height. People always comment on my height and hers, and I still hate it when strangers make unsolicited remarks, but I’ve learned to genuinely respond to ‘You’re so tall’ with ‘Thank you!’ as if that’s the ultimate compliment. I don’t want my daughter to feel like she has to take up less space in the world.”
Brianna says of what makes you thirsty: “Recently, my very cold husband left me three missed calls on his way to work. I was busy looking after the kids, but when I finally called him back, worried it might be an emergency, he told me to run into the garden because there are amazing rainbows there. We live in Ireland, where rainbows are a constant and he doesn’t usually pay much attention, but he knew I loved seeing them and would try desperately to make sure I didn’t miss a good one. After 15 years together, my naturally unobservant love now looks at me with uncertain, hopeful eyes as if to say, ‘Look! Isn’t it beautiful? ‘”
Ally says this about what everyone is reading/watching/listening to: “I’m really excited for the Olympics. Anthony Edwards on the men’s basketball team is awesome. Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, the whole women’s team. And Katie Ledecky and Quincy Wilson (track and field star, he’s only 16). Oh my gosh, I’m so excited.”
