Cameron turned 9 in February.
Life is so busy these days...I just couldn't figure out when to fit in a party, but he came home one day and told me he had been inviting people to his birthday party. It's been three years since Cameron had a party with friends. At birthday seven, he was too busy having a nervous breakdown. At birthday 8, we were in a new town and he hadn't made any friends yet.
I have been praying for years for Cameron to be able to have meaningful friendships. The fact that he had been inviting kids was big. I just could't let it go and not throw something together. Then I found out my parents and brother and sister in law were going to be visiting us that weekend so we had extra help. It was fantastic.
I bought a rectangular shaped cupcake pan at the craft store and made little Lego cakes for everyone.
The kids built Lego vehicles and then designed booby traps to catch bad guys and carry them away.
I'm so glad we found a way to make this happen for him. I am so proud of how far he has come in the past year, and so happy for him to have successful friendships. These things are TOTALLY worth celebrating!
