Actually that's a good thing! It tends to mean that we are humming along.
Which we are! Cameron started school across the street from home in September, he loves it. I think he would go 7 days a week if they would let him. He is making some good progress, his speech is really coming along and he is doing a lot more appropriate "pretend play". He loves to pretend it's school time at home and you will hear him talking to his "friends" saying he is the teacher "Boys and Girls" he says out loud and then does clean up time, choice time and so forth. Hard to believe he was barely talking 7 months ago.
We saw Orthopaedics last week, I really like the new Dr., she explains things so well. Cameron has some very loose hips and that is the cause of much of his gait pattern issues. To make it simple most kids would have a 45 degree rotation, he has 80 degrees on his left. This is not a huge issue, and there is still plenty of time to hope this will start to self correct. Down the road there are some other bracing options, for now we are sticking with his AFO orthotics. It was time for a new pair as our guy is growing and so he was re-fitted. He picked out a new pattern for the braces - TRACTORS! I really have no idea why he chose Tractors, because it's his brother Connor that loves them? Maybe it was for Connor, what a sweet brother Cameron is... let's go with that.
Connor is growing and growing, he is within 4lbs of his 3.5 year old brother. He is also very tall. And as cute as ever, he is called "bam bam" around here, thanks to Aunt Amy and Uncle Mike - it's the polite way of saying "meathead".
Loves his trucks, cars, reading books with anyone that will sit with him and he loves to show us his belly.
Connor is also getting a little Speech Therapy, I know many of you are rolling your eyes "he's a boy" "he's a 2nd child" "he'll be fine..." yeah, yeah I hear you and agree but after his evaluation showed a 50% delay we decided it was best to do some EARLY INTERVENTION, we have seen the success with Cameron so we'll be doing a brief stint with Connor. My goal is for him to be discharged by Dec!
Halloween is upon us and we can't wait! Cameron asks every day if it's Halloween yet. You'll have to check back in a week to see what this year's costume picks were. Cameron did select his own...
Happy Halloween to all!
