We are so excited to have Cameron home with us and doing well! But no one is more excited than James. It's so amazing to see the bond that twins have and the last two days have really showed us how close these little guys really are.
While Cameron was in hospital, James would look for him. He would search each room every morning and when he came home from preschool. Although he seemed to be adjusting, it was so obvious that he missed his brother.
Yesterday, James took his role as "big" brother very seriously. After riding in their wagon (grandma pulling them up and down the deck), James climbed out to go and get his lunch. He immediately tried to pick Cameron up and take him out of the wagon, because Cameron is not quite strong enough to get himself out yet. It was the sweetest thing I have ever seen. Then, while Cameron was drinking his bottle, James stood next to him and gently stroked his hair and chatted to him. There has been NO fighting over toys, in fact, James brought Cameron his favorite toy to play with!
I am sure they will return to normal soon and starting fighting over everything, but for now I am really enjoying the peace and love that we have in our house.
We are very excited to have our dear friend and amazing photographer, Germaine Vlok (www.germainevlok.com)coming to take some photos of Cameron today before he completely loses his hair. It started falling out last night, which makes me very sad, but at least we know the chemo is working.
I will post some of the photos of our beautiful boy soon!
Frank and Nikki it is so wonderful to hear that Cameron is home again and you are all so united as a family. It is really touching to hear how James is reacting to this and his obvious love for his brother. Out thoughts are with you.
