Over the years Cameron has become more and more independent he can cook, bathe himself, and were still working on him cleaning up after himself (which most moms of teenage boys are).

5 Years Ago

I can't believe it's been 5 years since we took Cameron to Peru for his stem cell treatments!  It seems like just yesterday.  He has made so much progress!  He was potty trained within 6 months of his treatment.  He is reading from a reading book! He can answer yes or no questions and even got his tooth pulled in the dentist office recently!   He loves going to Wal-Mart and makes his shopping list out.  He says I am his "best friend"..  Today we were at Walmart-Mart and he opened up the frozen vegetable door and was talking about "Birds eye vegetables". We put the ornaments on the tree today also!  We had a great day! So blessed!
