Cam’s Uncle Gav, and Grandpa, hooked up a car DVD screen to Granny and Grandpa’s TV so that Cam could watch his own little TV, close up. This was a win-win situation because everybody could watch the cartoon. His cousins are very tolerant, but it can be annoying for them that Cam wants to stand super close and right in front of the TV...! We are looking into loads of techno options to assist Cam in this kind of thing. It’s overwhelming – there is so much out there. Pray for us that we would choose wisely to suit Cam’s age and needs.
I met with a wonderful Mom this week whose son is also visually impaired and in Grade 1 at a mainstream school. I learned a lot from her, was greatly encouraged, and was left with much to think about. What a blessing to interact with people who have walked a similar road, and who are a little further along the way than we are.
Victory: Potty training is going fantastically well! Sleep training is going pretty well, too. Our nights are definitely improving, and we are encouraged that we are gaining ground! :)
Setback: Cam has tonsillitis and another middle ear infection... It looks like a tonsillectomy and more grommets are imminent... But we are completely fine with that, if his health will be the better for it. We are constantly amazed at the level of his cheerfulness and chattering, despite temperatures of over 40 degrees! Wow; he is my brave shining star :)
I wish I could record every hilariously cute thing that Cam says, and am praying that my memory doesn’t fail and that I’ll be able to enjoy the recollections of him at this age when he’s all grown up. For some reason, for the past two days he has been telling us all things that he likes, like Mom, Dad, Granny, Grandpa, Nanna, all his aunties, going to school, going to church, yoghurt, pasta, juice, praying, his toys, Lola, smiling, tissues...? He’s also into little expressions of endearment, like, ‘So nice to see you, Daddy-Dads. Missed you today!’ and ‘Granny’s so precious!’ He entertains himself with role-playing, pretending to open the boot of the car to take out the shopping, or paging through any random book and reciting the story of Mr Noisy in a sing-song voice... Man, we just enjoy him so much.
Had my 4D scan this week and got incredible footage of Cammy’s baby brother – so exciting!
‘Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done. Sing to him; yes, sing his praises. Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds. Exult in his holy name; rejoice, you who worship the Lord. Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek him. Remember the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given...’ – Psalm 105:1-5
