BAD: Last night we put Cam down extra early so that we could leave the sitter here and head to Bible study. Not sure if it was the early bedtime, or the fact that he had peed through to his pajamas, but he woke up at 4:10.
GOOD: We had a beautiful walk to the park this morning. It was so clear and nice. At the park, Cam said, "Let's go home". This was VERY exciting for me because he doesn't have many three word phrases like that and I love hearing my little guy improve on his speech!
BAD: Since we had an important meeting this afternoon, we were hoping we would get a long nap out of him seeing as he has been up since before dawn. We switched back to his crib, hoping that might help. It didn't. 45 minutes later, he was up and cranky.
GOOD: Despite the 4:10 wake up and 45 minute nap, he did really well at our meeting. This was his "Annual Review" where we discussed his progress, the services he has received (speech, OT, etc.) and his future. It was 2 hours long, but luckily Cam didn't need to be there for most of it so we let him watch a movie in Chris's office which let us concentrate on the meeting.
BAD: I felt like our case carrier made some comments that were unwarranted. I won't get into it, but she implied potential roads we might head down with Cam that I felt should fall under "worst case scenarios". I realize she can't sugar coat things and needs to be up front about all of the options. However I felt like that line was crossed and Chris and I both agreed that some things needed to be taken with a grain of salt.
GOOD: We are both looking forward to a yummy dinner of french toast and eggs. Chris's parents always bring us the yummiest (and most uniquely flavored) bread from a place called The Great Harvest Bread Company. We are using the last of it for a tasty dinner. I'm super excited and could use some relaxing time after a very looooong day. :)

wow, that IS a long day!! and you are very prego too!! 4:10 am is NOT GOOD.
sorry about the OT lady ... that must have been hard to hear. did you just want to tell her: 'look lady, can we take this one step at a time? tell me what we will do FIRST and let's save the speculation for later.' why do they always feel the need to disclose worst case scenario? so that your expectations are dwindled to nothing and then you are pleasantly surprised when it goes well. such meanies to try to deflate you!! just bury it!
Wow, that is a long day! Hope today is easier :)
Okay, Kelly, I just have to tell you that my little boy sleeps (or doesn't sleep!) just like Cam - always early mornings and very short naps. I always hear stories from my friends about how their son/daughter slept until 10am the other day or took a 3 hour nap, and I'm like, how do you get them to do that???!!! So whenever you blog about it, it helps to know that someone else out there feels my pain... =) Sigh...
Such a long day--and then to have the hard meeting in the middle of it. I hope you slept great last night and that this morning was the start of a bright new day.
("The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end. They are NEW EVERY MORNING. Great is your faithfulness.")
"Let's go home"--wayda go, Cam! Keep it up!
So how was the French toast? As fabulous as you were anticipating?
"Lets go home" maybe a glimpse of encouragment from God? letting you know that He knows Cam's future ( and even what that lady would say to you later that day )and He's reminding you that HE is in control of everything. Rest, do not fear, little Cam is in His arms!
