Conference Day

Today we had our conference with Camden's teacher. I have to admit I was a tad nervous! I was afraid to hear he was behind his peers academically since I homeschooled him last year. I never wanted to push Camden to learn, I let him learn at his own pace. We worked on lessons that interested him and I snuck in some letters and number lessons in there. But, was very happy to hear that Camden is caught up and in some areas, ahead. So 3 pats on the back for Miss Mommy!

His teacher wrote :

It seems as if Camden has been here with us from day 1. He jumped right into
our classroom routines and has made several friends. Camden seems to enjoy coming to school each day and is eager to learn.

Camden came to Kindergarten with a great foundation of basic skills. He can identify all capital and lowercase letters and is starting to identify and produce the sounds that go along with each.

Camden can count from 1-29. He is able to write numbers 1-20, sometimes backwards. He can identify most basic shapes and has some trouble identifying a rectangle.

Camden tries very hard in class. He sometimes needs to reminders to stay on task in order to complete his work.

I look forward to watching Camden's progress in the upcoming months! I am glad that Camden is in our class.

Miss M

I photographed Miss M about 6 months ago, it's crazy how much older she looks now! And, as usual she is a natural behind the camera! The location was great! So many places to capture that perfect shot.....except with my own children..... that is another blog post. I took their Christmas card photo ;)

Kerry's Preview

A sneak peak for Kerry ;) I had the pleasure of photographing a great friends family last weekend. We missed the beautiful colors on the trees but I love how the fall feel comes out in the pictures.

Sitting

Yesterday Ailyn got into the sitting position for the first time for her therapist!! We have been waiting for this milestone (do I say that every time?) for a long time. In fact her developmental pediatrician wanted her to do it by her appointment in October....which Mommy blanked and missed. I think I somehow knew she needed a couple more weeks ;) Since she did it yesterday, she has been doing it over and over and over. And, as you can see in the video, she loves to please us. We have to say "HOORAY" and clap for her every time!

Halloween!

We had a great Halloween this year! One of the best so far. The past two years I wasn't able to spend with Camden. We all decided to dress up and this made Camden very excited! a big thanks to our pal Jon for helping with Camden's Darth Maul costume!
