As you can see, we have the Christmas tree up in the background.  I was convinced that it would be a disaster, but Campbell has really not paid much attention to it.  I’m sure it helps that we have lights but not any decorations.  But, still, it’s gone better than I thought.  We even put up one of the lamps back on a table, and he’s mostly ignored that too.  And, the other trees we put out on another table.  Baby steps.  :).

On Thursday, dad got home for the rest of the semester, which is great!  It’s nice to have him here.  And, since Marie’s daughter is getting married, dad’s been getting a lot of good quality time while mom’s at work.

As you can see, C is still loving to read books and magazines.

And, we got a good report from physical therapy last Thursday.  He’s doing well with his orthotics, and she was impressed with how he navigates unsteady ground and how aware he is of everything.

And, he still loves to play with pots and pans.  He wants to stir everything with all of mom’s favorite spoons and utensils.  🙂  I think Campbell should ask Santa for a play kitchen.  🙂

And, he’s starting to verbalize and vocalize more. He is “quacking” like a duck now.  That’s his favorite.  🙂
