update

*When I drop Cam off at school and the kids are playing outside, he does great. When they are inside, he has hard time. I think walking into a classroom that seems chaotic (no structure, free play, loud, etc.) is too much for him. He had a rough time yesterday. While his teachers tell me he is fine a couple minutes after I leave, I still don't like leaving him like that. I called my mom and we brainstormed for a while. We came up with the idea of giving him a task to complete each morning. This will give him something to distract him from the chaos. So I made a notebook full of connect the dots worksheets. I'm hoping to take him inside, lead him to his activity, and allow him to transition into the noisiness while being occupied. We'll see... :)



*Not minding AT ALL the Christmas music now playing in many stores.

*Had dinner with a friend I have not seen since my wedding (8 years ago). So fun to catch up on almost the last decade. We met at Chili's and I was introduced to the most delicious soup (I know it's not new), Chicken Enchilada. I thought it would be too spicy, but it was wonderful!!!



*Last week a friend of mine found out about a Firefighters fundraiser here in our town. We are always looking for things to do, so we decided to join them. Chris and Kendall were up north, so it was just Cam and I. We had a nice time eating a spaghetti dinner, letting Cam jump on the bounce house, etc. They had a raffle and Cam won! He won a toy that has become his FAVORITE. He carries the little pieces/characters around everywhere from the bathroom (to "watch" him during his stinkbug!), to the park, to his bedside at night.



*Kendall has done better than Cam at adjusting to the time change. I still wake up at 4:55 on the dot each morning. On one hand I like being able to get things done before everyone is awake. However come 8:00 the next evening, I can feel it. :)

*While we love Costco, we don't love getting attached to a product, only to have them stop carrying it. Chris LOVES their mango/peach salsa. Unfortunately ours, as well as my dad's Costco don't sell it anymore.
