What we can do: When someone treats you poorly, try to treat them well in return. Use your energy to love yourself and help others.
In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, school was not in session for Cam on Monday. We talked about his legacy and how important it is to help others.
Due to a crazy snowstorm and cold snap, school was canceled for Tuesday and Wednesday. Luckily for our high school student, the cancellations were announced the night before for each of the closures. Cameron's parents, however, can always access work activities with available technology. Cam kept himself busy during the three homebound days. Chris and Jane checked in with him periodically in between their meetings.
Chris can make us laugh even when he isn't trying to. For a family Christmas gift, he purchased a robotic floor cleaner. He had placed Cam's shoes on the leg lifts so that the robot (which we named "McClean") wouldn't have any issues with the obstacle. When Jane and Cam saw the setup, they could not stop laughing!
We dined on Olive Garden takeout (thanks to Auntie Karen's Christmas gift card) Saturday evening in preparation for adaptive skiing on Sunday.
Sunday's weather conditions could not have been better! The sunshine boosted everyone's energy and Cam had the most ski runs down the slope ever. 😀
We were happy to have a visit with 'big sis' Lauren when we returned home from the Cannonsburg ski hill. Cam commented how tired he was from the week to which his dad commented, "Oh that's right. The two days of school you had must have been really exhausting!"
Camology Quotes:
When Cam was younger, we always encouraged him to explain himself by telling us and explaining as much as he could. It's funny how sometimes he'll say something that his parents used to use as a comment with their son. When Jane asked Chris about an afternoon snack and there was no response, Cam interjected:
"I guess Dad doesn't want anything. He's not using his words."
