We're so excited. Courtney and Reese got into town yesterday for Kellan's baptism! Nana and Uncle Jarsh are coming in today!
When I dropped Camden off at school on Thursday the classroom lights were out and the whole class was out on the playground. I took Camden through the classroom to get to the playground. Camden wanted to sit at the desk instead. I said to the teacher, aw! he wants to learn instead of go out to the playground! She said no, he's sitting there because he wants to EAT instead of go out to the playground. Well played Miss Tricia... well played.
We sent Camden to school in really squeaky shoes. He about drove us nuts walking around the house in the morning before school. I'm sure he was the least annoying kid at school that day :)
I picked Camden up early again. When I looked in the door all the lights were off and the kids were playing with flashlights. Well, most of the kids. Camden was sitting at the table all by himself just observing. At first I thought that was sweet then I started worrying about what this meant in regard to his developmental stride. Before I had time to get a Xanax out, the teacher said- oh don't worry- the only reason he's sitting at the table by himself is that the therapist that was working with him just left. That made me feel so much better. I am not looking into this any further. We had a therapist from Arizona Early Intervention evaluate Camden because his speech seemed kind of delayed. They think he's just fine and this was just a follow up visit to close out the case.
Last night I asked Camden if he wanted pizza for dinner. He threw his hands up in the air, dropped the several cars he was carrying and ran to the front door. I think that means we order pizza too often. He was so mad that the pizza wasn't there instantaneously. I need to explain the pizza ordering process to this kid.
Camden amazes me every day with the new things he knows. They do so much with him at school. I was reading a book to him that had a car in it (of course) and instead of yelling CAR! he said "beep beep!" and put his arm out in a honking motion. This just cracked me up because I didn't expect it at all. I wonder what else he knows that he's not sharing?...
