the boy that could Chapter 14

Chapter 14 It was the last day of school before Winter holidays and Cameron brought presents for his classmates and teachers and he gave the boys toy cars and the girls got dolls while Jessica was given perfume and Frank and Bev ended up with gift certificates to a local mall. Cameron was all smiles all day and was very excited for the afternoon party as Jennifer was going to comeback for the party in the afternoon and Zoe was coming home with him for a play date and Zoe was also very excited about coming over to Cameron's house and was talking about it all day to the teachers. Cameron got a Strawberry yogurt for morning snack and it was a very messy experience as Bev and Cameron battled over who was going to be holding the spoon and more of the yogurt was on his face than in his mouth. Cameron was even more excited for his lunch because Jennifer put a piece of pizza and a pudding for desert and that also got messy and Frank even got messy and put a bib as well so he did not get the tomato sauce from the pizza or the chocolate pudding on himself. After the party Zoe and Cameron got buckled into the car seats in the back of Jennifer's mini van and she folded up Cameron's stroller and Zoe's walker in the back of the mini van. When they got back to Cameron's house Zoe got to ride the elevator into the house with Cameron and they then played on the living room carpet and played with a play house along with some small people and toy cars and they shared the house's furniture and they had a lot fun playing together and then Zoe played with a doll while Cameron watched TV. Zoe's mother and father were their for dinner which was hamburgers and french fries and Zoe's hamburger was cut into quarters and it was in a bun and Cameron's burger was into small bites that he could grab with his hands and try to put it into his mouth while the french fries were cut in half for Zoe and Cameron had his massed up and when he needed help Carey would put a spoon of hamburger or fries into Cameron's mouth. After Zoe left with her parents Jennifer brought in his brand new wheelchair which she had picked up that morning and he was very excited to see it and Carey put him into it and put his seat belt and chest strap so he would not be able to fall out of it. He tried to wheel himself but his hand were too small even though he could reach them but then Jennifer asked him if he would like to take it outside and see some of neighborhood decorations and he nodded his head so Carey helped him put on the jacket and the three of them took a long stroll down the street.

the boy that could CHAPTER 13

CHAPTER 13 It was Halloween and Jennifer had put together a great custom for Cameron as she had gotten him cowboy boots and a cowboy hat and he was supposed to wear too bur he refused to wear any of his custom at home so in the end Jennifer gave up and just put his usual cloth of a t-shirt and blue jeans. Jennifer when she dropped off Cameron at school she told Bev that he did not want to wear his custom and Bev said will ask him later before they went trick-or-treating around the school as he may want to put it on when he see his classmates with their customs on. When Cameron's classmates started to arrive off their buses they mostly wear their customs starting with the twins as Billy was a firefighter in a fire suit with a helmet and even a holes that was attached to his green wheelchair and Fred was dressed up as a white bunny rabbit with painted on whiskers. The next classmate to arrive was Zoe who was dressed in princess dress and stayed in her wheelchair instead of playing on the carpet so she play house and when Cameron realized that she was not joining him on the carpet he came over and wanted her to come and join him on the carpet by looking at her and then looking at the carpet. Then he tried to get into his nursery chair by himself so he could be with Zoe but Frank came over and asked him to go back to the carpet to clean up first and he crawled back to the carpet to clean up his cars. After he cleaned up Frank asked him if he wanted to get into his chair or a higher chair so he could play with Zoe and he choose the higher chair and played with the house along with Zoe. Devora arrived in tears as she did every morning and she was not wearing a custom but there was a note in her bag and said that she had a crown in her bag and was supposed to be a queen and the final classmate was named Johnny and he walked in without a walker and was walking slowly and safely as he had balance issues while wearing a superman cape and he came over and high-fifes Cameron before he joined Fred on the carper and he was junior kindergarten student. When Frank took Cameron to the washroom he asked if Cameron wanted to put on his dress shirt and he nodded his head and when he went back into the classroom he pointed to his cowboy boots and Frank helped him put it on and Jessica handed him his cowboy hat from his cubby and he put it on his head. While Jessica asked the class to line up at the door and Johnny lined up first and Fred got help from Bev to get into his walker and Jessica had Billy and Devora lined up with Bev. Then Jessica asked Zoe if she wanted to stay in her wheelchair or come out and use her walker and she choose her walker which was a three-quarter box that she was strapped in and it was called a riften. Frank pushed Cameron down the hall and he had a device called a big mac that Jessica had programmed it to say trick-or-treat every time he pressed the button and as they went down the hallway Cameron saw the older students of the school were handing out the candy. By the time they all got back to the classroom they all had a lot of candy and Cameron was trying to get to eat the candy but Jessica said maybe later and he took it home at the end of the day and showed Carey who came to pick him up the bag of candy and later Carey and Jennifer took him out trick-or-treating in the neighborhood and he was extremely happy. He slept a lot after such a busy day so Carey and Jennifer were able to watch some TV before they went to bed so it was a great day.

the boy that could chapter 12 Jennifer got Cameron up a little bit earlier because it was his first day of school and he had his cereal before he got dressed up for his first day and after he got cleaned up in a button up shirt and dress pants and his brand new shoes. He was very excited about his brand new shoes that light up and Jennifer took him to his school to meet his new friends and Jennifer would be bring him to school until he had his wheelchair. When they got to school Jennifer meet Cameron's new teacher who was named Jessica and the classroom educated assistants who were named Bev and Frank and they all very excited to see Cameron as he was the first student in the school. Cameron played with some toys while the other kids started to show up and as they entered the room Cameron saw that they mostly had wheelchairs already and they would come out of them and crawl around the floor just like him and some even were very talkative already. So he was introduced a girl named Zoe who was in Senior Kindergarten and had in a pink wheelchair and she was the first come over to see what Cameron was playing with and she decided to a ball toy and Cameron watched it and liked how the ball moved and tried to reach another toy just like Zoe's and could not get until Frank came over and asked him if he wanted the toy down with him and Cameron nodded his head in agreement and he played beside Zoe. The next student come was Devora who was in Junior Kindergarten just like Cameron and she had a purple wheelchair and stayed in her chair and was crying very loudly and she looked at story on a computer which distracted her a bit and the crying would come and go. The next two students to come into the classroom were twin boys named Billy and Fred and they were in Junior Kindergarten with Billy in a green wheelchair and Fred was not in a wheelchair instead he was in something called a walker which he held onto as he walked. After Bev helped Billy with his jacket and Fred helped Frank to get his jacket and backpack into a cubby Billy was put a round table and played with a talking toy while Fred sat in a chair with arms on it and sat at a rectangle table that was a little shorter than Billy's table and he played with cars. Soon Cameron came over to play with the cars and Bev put Cameron into the same kind of chair as Fred with the only difference was that Cameron's chair had a belt on it and then Cameron saw Zoe in a yellow walker just like Fred's but his sliver and she stood next to Devera's wheelchair and watched the computer with her.

the boy that could chapter 11

chapter 11 It was a beautiful Saturday and Carey and Kelly took Cameron out in the car and they drove for a long time and when Kelly park the car it was outside of a very big building. The building had 20 floors in it so when they went inside they looked for the elevator and when they found it they pressed the up button and then when they got onto the elevator they wanted to go to the 12th floor so Cameron reached with four year-old hand while being held by Carey and pressed the number 12. When they got to 12 the doors opened and they walked out into a big hallway and they turned to their left and started to look for room 1220 which ended up being at the very end of the very long hallway and when they got to room 1220 Kelly went to talk to the receptionist while Carey put Cameron back into his stroller and sat beside him and they waited for what was going to happen next. Cameron had never been in this building and was interested in everything around him but still did not know why he was here and what the posters on the walls with the great big wheels were because they did not look like his cars at home or daycare and did not look like anything he had seen it was bigger than his parents car. Five went by and then 10, and than 15 and then what felt like forever for Cameron whoever they were there to see was ready for them so they walked down the hall and into a small room a couple of those things on wheels he had seen on the walls and they looked a little bit smaller than they had before. First he meet a young lady named Elizabeth and she brought a small thing on wheels towards him and said this is a wheelchair would U like to sit in it and see how it fells and he nodded his head so Kelly took him out of his little stroller and put him in this big wheelchair and had had the seat belt put on and he tried to reach the wheels but his arms were to short. Elizabeth poked around Cameron while he was in the car and made some notes on her computer and then Cameron was laid down on a mat and Elizabeth got a tape measure out measured him and than said "all done, thanks Cameron U were a great help" and then said to Carey and Kelly "it will be ready by the end of December". Cameron on his way home thought what was that lady doing to me and what will we be getting with Carey now driven them home Kelly turned her head and said to Cameron "are U excited soon your going to have a wheelchair all of your own" and Cameron simply smiled.
