Summer wrap-up

The summer flew by so fast.  I cannot believe how quickly it flew by!  I did a couple of blog hop posts earlier in the summer, and then I didn't keep up with it.  I still have NDSC convention stuff I would like to share if anyone is still out there (enter crickets chirping).  So this is my attempt to prime the pump and get back to writing/sharing.

So this about sums up the last few months.............

Summer Camp for Kamdyn

Kamdyn continued to go to "school" throughout the summer.  It guaranteed her a spot once preschool opened up, and she was able to continue with her therapies at school.

Color Run

Besides a few hills that I could not have pushed a stroller and ran if my life had depended on it, I ran most of the course.  It was awesome.  And then I wanted to fall over and die.  And then it was awesome again.  I must do it again.

Hershey Park


Our local Down syndrome group had an event at Hershey Park.



Disney Cruise


Can we say "Most perfect and amazing vacation EVER!!!!!"




Flower girl duties


NDSC Convention


Meeting Facebook and Blogger friends.



And meeting some other pretty awesome people (David DeSanctis from the movie Produce)




YMCA camp for Austin

It was a rough start for him, but once we switched him to baseball camp it was much better.



Family field trips

Gettysburg


Horse Camp for Madison




My birthday.  29 forever..................


More family field trips

And then the first day of school....................................







Kamdyn is 4 now, and she attends a private preschool in our community.  She is currently in the 3 year old classroom, and we plan on having her stay in that class and complete an extra year of preschool before moving on to Kindergarten.  If I don't homeschool her, we plan to have her placed in the general education classroom for Kindergarten.  Her speech has really been taking off over the last few months.  This past week, she greeted two different friends by name when she saw them.  She had never done that before, so I was really excited by that.  She can also jump now, and she can run, instead of just fast walking and moving her arms really fast. Her favorite movie is The Muppets (old or newer version).  Her favorite color is yellow, and she asks for it regularly.  These are pretty big deals for me to be able to say, because I had been sad in the past that she wasn't able to tell me these things.  She also loves Frozen.  Big surprise, right?  She loves to sing "Let it Go", and she mimics Elsa's actions while she sings.  It's pretty stinkin' adorable!

So there you have it.  A summer wrap-up and a quick Kamdyn update.
