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.
