Cameron These Days

I have a few things I have to "get on paper" about Cameron these days.

1.) He is always something. Sometimes he is Batman, a puppy, Buzz- he is ALWAYS something. Lately, he is an elephant. He does this funny on all fours walk with his bottom way up in the air and makes an elephant sound. It is hard to concentrate on anything when you see "Little Elephant Boy" walk by.

2.) Cameron is all into his cousins right now. EVERYTHING is about the cousins... everything! This is not bad but none of them live very close so I have to constantly remind him we can't just go see them after school. It's sweet the things he says about them- he has a heart of gold, that's for sure.

3.) Cameron is learning to tell time. The other morning he crawled into my bed, after Van had left for work (he leaves at 5 am BTW) and said, "Mommy, it's time to wake up!" I replied, "Cameron read me the numbers on daddy's clock." His reply was, "It says five two five." Um- WHAT?! I thought surely he had mixed up some numbers so I sat up and saw- that he was, in fact, correct. I couldn't overlook the fact that he said the correct time, so we were up. Telling time is fun... unless your child thinks anything after 4 am is "wake up time."

4.) We have hit "FIT" central. I was hoping to take the short cut from the whiny three's to happy four's. We must have missed the exit. EVERYTHING... okay maybe I should cut him some slack...ALMOST everything turns into a, "buuuuuttttt mmmooooommmmyyyyyy...." Yep, Gee, three wasn't so bad ;)

5.) I have been forced to put Cameron in preschool 5 days a week from 9-2:30 because this college thing is demanding. Yes, I know, I know, a four year degree is not easy. However, I miss my baby. I am blessed though that his school is amazing.

6.) The kids is just plain funny. He spouts out random things at the most perfect time. You can't help but crack up. This may be one of my favorite things about the age of 4.

That's all I've got for now.
