Camden's Graduation Letter.......

January 2008

Camden, Kim, Steve, & Ethan

It has been so fabulous to have Camden in our infant room for as long as we have. He makes every day fun! He's grown into an assertive, energetic, and very curious toddler. We'll miss him but are glad we will have Ethan so that we can see Camden and your family.

Camden is one exceptional boy. There have been so many great and often unique to Camden moments in our room. Many of the things we'll miss are Camden's overly productive sneezes, how he almost always had to leave a little bit in his bottle (out of principle); his sleeping and nonsleeping schedule (many days of shorter naps and then a record 2+ hour nap his last week); The way he lowers our waistbands in back to find out other belly button; his phase of tickling/exploring, his love of the sink and how he could splash for such an incredibly long ime. How he went "0to60" to tell us it was time for a bottle. The way he used to nip our shoulder with his new teeth when his was little, his love of brooms and anything with a long handle that he can push; the way tries to open up every cabinet and is happy to just open and close them; how we'd try the last of bottles as we stood by the posting or diaper chart so he was distracted enough to eat without realizing he was missing out on something; yelling "HI!" to everyone who came into the room; his art projects and how he loves to paint; how excited he is when we start reading "Frosty" or "Wheels on the Bus" and how he knows all the actions, his love of shaker eggs, how he used to chew on Paulina's fingers; the way he'd collect so many things in his little hands that he had to tuck them under his arms too; how often he very clearly let us know he was awake that he'd cuddle on our laps; how he's gotten so good at listening and responding; his great laugh, his sense of humor and so many other Camdenisms.

Thanks again for letting us take care of Camden during such an important part of his life. We've loved every minute of it. We'll keep "spying" on him down the hall.

Love Always,
Traci, Sheila, Denise, Jaime
Infant Room: 11-30-07 to 01-08-09
