The Boy that could chapter three

chapter three It was a very long two days for Cameron as he waited to able to go to Billy's house for the party but Kelly was worried if Cameron would be able to be apart of the party or would he fell left out and not enjoy himself. When Kelly and Cameron showed up to Billy's house it was very big and when Billy's mother she said "thanks for coming" and said that the kids were upstairs in Billy's room and it right next to the stairs and did not have any protection to prevent a kid like Cameron to not fall down the stairs and serious hurt himself. When Kelly talking to his mother he came to the top of the stair and said "Hi" and minute later he came down the stairs and had some cars in his pocket and went to the living room and sat and said "Cameron do U want to play with me" and Cameron who was still in Kelly's arm started to squirm around and Kelly put him on the floor and watched Cameron he followed Billy's voice. When Cameron got over to Billy he saw a yellow, a blue, and a green car on the floor and Billy already had a blue car so Cameron choice the other blue car and Cameron started chase Billy and his blue car and while they going around in cycles and started to laugh. A couple of minutes later Roddy and Zoe and the other guests started to come down bring down their cars and Billy's dad brought down the racetrack for the cars and started to setup the track in the dining room which a much bigger open space and when the other kids started to play Cameron took his blue car and started to push along with the yellow one towards where the other kids were and Billy picked up his Blue car along with the green car and walked beside Cameron and when they joined the others they sat a different spots of the track and all went at the same time and they crashed together and they started to laugh. When it was time for the cake Billy had decorated some paper bibs at daycare and put on one and passed one or to Cameron who Kelly helped him put it on and then all the other kids asked Billy for one and he handed them all one. This surprised the other parents who wondered why their kid wanted to wear a bib especially Billy's mother who did not know that he had done this at daycare except for Kelly who was crying for joy. It was a great party and so thankful for Billy being such a great friend and hugged him before Cameron and herself left to go home and Billy sat down to high five Cameron and said "comeback soon".

Boy that could chapter two

Chapter two It was a cool cool November morning and Cameron woke up really early and hitting his bed pole, as he had all around his bed so that he could not fall out of bed, so Carey came in and talked to him and asked if he wanted out and Cameron nodded his head. When Carey put him on the change table and Carey showed Cameron two shirts and Cameron looked at one than the other and then he pointed to the second one and it was the beginning of Cameron making decisions on what he wanted to wear. Cameron smelt something squirmed and looked towards the kitchen and when he was dressed Carey put him into his high chair and then Kelly brought him a plate of cut pancake pieces and she across from him and wanted to feed him the pancake but instead he looked away from Kelly. After a while Kelly got up and left the plastic plate with the pancake bites and when turned away Cameron turned his head towards them and started to pick up a piece and put it into his mouth and most of it went on the floor again. A couple of minutes later Kelly came back and offered to feed him again and Cameron opened his mouth so Kelly could feed him. When Kelly helped Cameron with his coat all Cameron could do was look at a wrapped present by the door and after helped Cameron zip up his winter jacket she llok at where Cameron was looking and said "is it Billy's birthday" and Cameron smiled and then she said "is that Billy's present" and Cameron nodded and finally Kelly said "who is going to Billy his present" and Cameron patted his stomach". When Cameron got to Daycare and had Jennifer help him with his jacket and was put on the ground he started to crawl around and looked everywhere and then sat quietly in the corner until he heard Billy's voice and followed it. Billy had just gotten to Daycare and after took his jacket off and put it into his cabby Cameron pulled his sleeve and pointed towards his gifted and started to crawl towards it and then looked back to make sure Billy was following him and when they got to it Billy said " mine" and Cameron nodded. After Bridget said "Boys not yet" they went over to Zoe who was playing with the cars and Billy brought some blocks and Billy passed them to Cameron who pushed them to where he wanted them Billy showed Cameron a blue car and a red car and Cameron point at the blue car and Billy took the red car. When they started to put their cars on the block and pushed them Zoe with her yellow car came over and did the same thing and all three cars crashed and they all rolled onto their backs and laughed in excitement. After their nap they had a party for Billy where they stuffed their face with cake and after Phillip had setup an area in their room where they could race so they all started in a small circle and when Frank said "ready,set,go" everybody except for Billy and Cameron ran to finish line but Billy went down to the ground and raced Cameron in a crawling race and Cameron finished first. When Billy was ready to go home he asked his mother Barb if Cameron could come with them and Barb said "not today" but before Billy left Barb put a note in Cameron's cabby and when Jennifer came to pickup Cameron he went over to his cabby and pointed at the note. It was invite to Billy's birthday birthday party which was in two days at Billy's house.

The Boy that could - chapter one

When Cameron got to daycare he just started to crawl around the carpet with big blocks and Kelly was scared to leave him and alone so Jennifer, who was one of the daycare staff went over to be with Cameron as he knocked over a bunch of blocks off the shelf and he got knocked over by the blocks and just laughed and laughed and laughed as Jennifer started to pick the blocks off Cameron. While Kelly talked with Bridget, another staff member at the Daycare and was worried that Cameron was going to get hurt as he had gotten scarabs before at daycare and Bridget explained that is natural in the learning process of young children. As Kelly was leaving she saw a boy named Billy, a two year old walk over and sit down and helped Cameron to build a big tower and it brought a smile to her face. Cameron and Billy built the tower as Cameron passed Billy the blocks and Billy put the blocks higher and higher and higher and when it was really high Cameron tugged on Billy's sleeve and Billy said "destroy" and Cameron nodded his head and Billy said "go" and Cameron pushed over tower as Billy and Jennifer watched. By lunch Cameron had a great time listen to songs and playing with Billy along with Zoe who played cars with him and for lunch Cameron and his friends sat at small table with Cameron having a belt to strap himself into the chair so he did not fall. Today it was spaghetti and meat balls and everyone wore a bib like Cameron and Phillip, another staff member, helped to feed Cameron while Billy and his buddy Roger feed each other a couple of bites after watching Cameron eat. After nap time Kelly came to pick Cameron up from daycare and he screamed all the way home as he did not want to leave his friends at daycare but when they got home Kelly read him a story before he played with cars in his room while Kelly was nearby getting dinner ready.

The Boy that could -the beginning

It was the first Tuesday in September and it was time for the summer break to be over and for Cameron he was woken up by his mother Kelly and he crawled under his blanket and Kelly picked up Cameron and the blanket and put them on a large table.When Kelly unwrapped Cameron from the blanket he simply smiled and was got him dressed and carried him next door to Cameron's room which was dining room and he was strapped into his high chair and waited for breakfast and he banged the tray of his high chair and laughed and his dad Carey brought him a bowl of dry cereal and he looked at it and then looked at Carey and a minute later he dove his hand and with medium sized hand pulled out five bites of cereal and brought it to his mouth and by the time he put his hand into his mouth he was down to two pieces and he crunched those pieces happily and dad just watched with a great big smile on his face and by the time Cameron was done he had probably but a third into his mouth and the rest was either on the floor on his tray. When Carey took the bowl off the tray Cameron tried to pick up pieces of cereal up off his tray and was able to pick up a piece and actually put it into mouth excitedly and crunched it like there was no tomorrow. For most three year old's it was not a big deal but for Cameron things just a lot slower as he was born with Cerebral palsy a disorder of the brain and the nerve system that affects people muscles in different ways. cerebral palsy happens at birth there are a number of different levels of it and for Cameron he did not have the leg strength in his legs to walk yet or even talk. After breakfast Cameron and Kelly worked together to get his jacket on with Kelly needing to pull the jacket off Cameron's head as he pulled the jacket over his head time after time it took a long time to get the jacket on with Kelly pulling Cameron's arms through the sleeves and zipped it up. Then she put him in his stroller to get to the car and was put into car seat where he squirmed around and Carey had to hold him in place while Kelly strapped him in and they were on the their way to daycare.
