Just when I thought things couldn't get worse, they didn't......matter of fact they have completely done a 180 and there is no one more amazed than me! I have written here and there about some of the behavioral challenges we've experienced with Cameron, most recently in school, and now I have an exciting update. As if a light switch was flicked on 2 weeks ago, that child has not had a bad day in school since then. He has received 1-4 (the max) tickets every day at school for the past two weeks for good behavior. I would say probably 4 of those days he earned 4 tickets, which is extremely hard to do.
He has gone from "Class Clown" to "Golden Boy" seemingly overnight. I have no idea to what I owe this amazing transformation, but I am overjoyed. In fact, at tomorrow's weekly Friday Spirit Assembly for the entire elementary school, Cameron will be recognized as the student of the week from his class. He really has worked hard for this and deserves this so much! I got completely choked up and my eyes welled up with tears when I read the note the teacher sent home inviting us to the assembly so we could watch him receive his award. I know this doesn't seem like a big deal to most people, but this honestly felt like a day we would never experience with him and I couldn't be prouder of him. In fact tonight, he commented to me that he was really proud of himself for doing so well in school......and with that, the dots have FINALLY been connected.

Heather,
Sam too is "Sam the Clown" ... but this week he is no longer acting like Ernest T on Andy Griffin and is so well behaved he got all the stars in preschool today.
What gives? Growing up?
