Camden upon seeing a handicap parking spot: "Ha ha, he is going potty"

***********************************************************

Ron: Camden, time to brush your teeth
Camden: Where is my brush teether

(Looks like I am not the only one to mix up my words)

***********************************************************

Camden at the park (gesturing wildly with his hands): That boy was throwing rocks.  I asked him to stop THREE times.
Me: Did he stop?
Camden: No!  Makes me so mad!  (throwing hands in the air again and then stalked off).

We drove past a large KFC sign today and Camden yelled out, "Look Mum-Mum, Mr. Hooper!"

*****************************************************************

While in the car....

Camden: Are you sleeping, are you sleeping...
Me: Brother John, Brother John...morning bells are ringing...
Camden (interrupting): You are not listening to me, I am freaking out back here
Me: Ding dang dong...ding dang dong...
Camden: I saaaaid I am freaking out back here!

*****************************************************************

While eating a freezie....

Camden: Why don't you cut yours? (He means the plastic wrapper)
Me: I push the freezie up from the bottom
Camden: When I am bigger I will do that too
Camden: I am going to be a man one day
Me: Yes you are
Camden: When I am a man I am going to work in an ice cream store

*****************************************************************

While walking past a huge poster at La Senza....(Lady wearing bra and panties)

Camden (really loud): Look at her belly button!
Camden: Hahahahahahahaha (snort!!)

I spilled some of my milk on the floor at dinner time last night. 

Camden saw this and then tells me an interesting story. "Daddy dropped the noodles all over the floor and said Jesus Christ, f*cking hell." 

I managed not to laugh cause I don't want him saying that again!

Camden said...

At lunch today...

Me: Camden, would you like some ham?

Cam: I am not too struck on ham.

Me:  What?  You love ham.

Cam: I am not too struck on ham today.

******************************************************

Ron was drinking apple juice in a large mug this afternoon.

Cam: I just need a drink of your apple juice.

Ron: Ok, just be careful, it is a big mug

Cam took a big drink and setting the mug down, said, "I can see my face in there!"

******************************************************

The other night while curled up for bed I asked Cam for a goodnight kiss.

Cam: I am already rolled over Mum-Mum.

******************************************************

I was standing at the sink washing dishes when Cam came up to me, got on his knees and said, "Will you marry me Mum-Mum?"  

******************************************************

"I just" is a favourite of Cam's.....

I just need the ladder

I just need to stand on the counter to see what's up there

I just need to have pudding

I just need to put on my boots instead of slippers

*******************************************************

"I always" is another....

I always wanted that straw

I always knew I needed water

I always knew that I wanted......(insert item here)

*******************************************************

Duncan was curled up on my belly the other morning.  

Me: Listen to Duncan purr, he is very happy to see you.  What does he sound like?

Cam: A generator

*******************************************************

What I hear every weekday :(

Cam: Mummy, do you have to go to work?  Don't you want to play with me?

********************************************************

After bath time when he pulls the plug in the tub

Cam: Bye water, see you another day 

********************************************************

When preparing breakfast, lunch or dinner and turn back on item on counter.

Cam (running away): Steal!

You look behind you and sure enough, something is missing.  Item is often found under the chair cushion.

Camden said ....

Last night while settling down for bed Camden asked if Sandy (character in Rise of the Guardians) would be coming to give him dreams.  I said he would, only if Cam fell asleep soon.  Then he asked about Jack Frost (also a character in Rise of the Guardians).  I said Jack would visit if Cam went to sleep.  What about Santa? I told him Santa would be here in a few weeks and we would leave cookies and milk for him.

Camden: No cookies for Santa.
Me: No?  What should we leave for him then?
Camden: M&M's and spicy chips.

*********************************************************

Camden:  Do you love.....ice cream? Pizza? Me? Duncans? Trucks? Snow? Water? Soup?

"Do you love....?" is his new favourite question.


*********************************************************

We were in the drive-thru at Tim Horton's and the lady at the window saw the reindeer hat he was wearing.  She asked him who made it for him.  No reply.

 

I asked him who made his hat for him.  Through gritted teeth he said, "I am trying to make a stinky!"

*********************************************************

At any random moment lately, you can hear Camden say "May I have this dance?"

*********************************************************

Me: Cam, time for your bath.

Camden: I am not dirty

*********************************************************

"NO!" 

"NOOOOOOOOO!" 

*********************************************************

Me: I am so hungry I am going to eat you up.

Camden: No, don't eat me

Me: Yes, I am starving and going to eat you up.

Camden: I am Camden and I have rockets!

Ok then...backing away....haha

*********************************************************

Camden said....

Camden: I love you
Me: Awww, I love you too
Camden: No, I love you! (little loudly)
Me: Thank you, I love you
Camden: I LOVE YOU (screaming)
Me: Ok, you love me, I love you too
Camden: I LOVE YOU! (really screaming now, gritting his teeth)

Then he slaps me. (What is that about?)

********************************************************
Camden wanted popcorn for a treat and so I made it, with his cheesy sprinkles.  When it was made, he changed his mind and didn't want any. So I sat down with the bowl to have some.

Camden: Don't eat all my popcorn
Me: I won't, we are sharing
Camden: You ate my cotton candy
Me: No I didn't, we shared

Ron: Did you eat it all?
Me: Mostly

********************************************************
In his bath last night after he pulled the plug:

Bye bye water, see you afternoon.  We had fun today.
Bye bye water. (As he is waving to the drain)

********************************************************

Camden is sitting on the couch having snack time.  He pets Duncan and Duncan raises his paw to slap Cam.

"Duncan, be a good boy to me prease."  (prease = please)

Yesterday there was a fun fair in the small village near us.  I thought Camden would love to go and did he ever enjoy himself.  He was not scared at all and loved going in the three bouncy houses that were set up.

There were two ladies doing face painting and I asked Camden if he wanted to be a pirate.  He said no.  Later, I asked if he wanted to be a lion.  Again he said no.  We saw a girl painted like a monkey and I asked Camden if he wanted to be a monkey.

Camden: I just want to be Camden.

I just hugged him and said I wanted him to be himself too.  Love my boy!

Camden said...

Camden often repeats himself over and over and over as if he has not been heard the first time.  I will tell him we heard him the first time (or the first five times).  I shouldn't be surprised by the following exchange we had, but I was!

Me: Cam, would you like a drink?
    No response
Me:  Cam, drink?
    No response again.
Me: Camden....do you want a drink of this?
Camden: I heard you the first time.

***********************************************************

At the playground on the weekend there was an older boy running around and Camden desperately wanted to play with him.

Camden: Hey big fella, what you doing?

***********************************************************

Ron went out with a friend to celebrate his birthday and was not home to see Camden off to bed.  The next morning when Ron woke up, Camden said, "Daddy I missed you soooo much!"

***********************************************************

Daddy: See you later alligator
Camden: After while croc-dile

***********************************************************

Ron found a snail on the grape leaves he was trimming in the backyard. He gave the leaf to Camden.

Camden: What his name Mum-Mum?
Me: Sammy the snail? 
Camden: I love Sammy

***********************************************************

Camden said...

Camden: Raindrops on deck
Me: Yes, and we are going to get thunder tonight
Camden: Thunder is drums
Me: Thunder does sound like drums
Camden: Don't be scared Mum-Mum

Camden said....

While snuggled up together morning Camden and I had the following exchange,

Camden: Got nose Mum-Mum (grabbed my nose)
Me- Oh no, what am I going to do now?
Camden: Call policeman!

Camden said...

Mum-Mum - Camden, what does a cat say?
Camden - Meow

Mum-Mum - What does a dog say?
Camden - Arf

Mum-Mum - And a cow?
Camden - Moooo

Mum-Mum - What does a fox say?
Camden - Ahhh-Choo!

I shouldn't be surprised he thinks a fox sneezes.  One of the characters in his favourite movie, The Gruffalo, is a fox with allergies.

It was just a funny moment as I didn't except him to say that.  (What does a fox say anyway?)

You can read more about The Grufflo here - http://www.gruffalo.com/, if you are interested.  First a book, then a movie.  It really is a great show and Camden just loves it.

Some random chatter from Camden lately.

• Last week while trying to get Camden to sleep he grabbed my face and gave me a big kiss.

                     Cam: Niiiice kiss Mum-Mum, Wuv ewe
     
My first "I love you" from my boy.....LOVE!

• Last night after supper we were playing outside and for some reason Camden gave me a kiss and then said, "All better now Mommy".  Then he had me carry him to Ron and he kissed Ron and said, "All better now Daddy".

• Also last night, we were playing with the lawnmower.  I pulled it up the side hill and Cam stood behind it and ran with it down the hill.  I was standing at the bottom and he yelled out, "Watch out Mum-Mum".

• For some reason every night when I get home from work Camden asks me if I bought "groceries".  I think he is looking for a treat :)

While eating mini oreo cookies for dessert:
    Camden: Love cookies
    Mum-Mum: You love cookies?
    Camden: Cookie Monster too


While walking in the backyard:
    Mum-Mum: Camden, be careful in the brush
    Camden: No problem


While watching the movie Zathura, for the first time:
     Camden: Tiny robot
....A few seconds later
     Camden: Oooh, big robot


While watching the movie Zathura, for the second time:
     Camden: Ding dong, astronaut


While running around through the kitchen and living room:
    Camden: (hands held out behind him) Superman!
....A few seconds later
    Camden: (fist pump in the air) Taaaa-Daaaa


Every time he hears Niblet (the cat) cry:
    Camden: Nib, matter?


Every time he sees Duncan (the other cat):
    Camden: Hi Duncans!


Every time Da-Da comes back into the house from outside:
    Camden: Hi Bud-Bud!


When he sees something exciting or new:
    Camden: Wowzers!

• Ron and Camden were walking in the marsh behind the house yesterday when Camden heard the train whistle blow from across the river.  Ron said Cam yelled out, "allllllll aboard" and then kept walking on his merry way.

• In addition to saying, "Miss me, miss me".  Cam has added to it.  "Miss me, miss me, kiss me, kiss me".  Which I happily do, everytime!

• Camden seems to love his condiments.  On Tuesday we had pancakes for supper (pancake Tuesday) and Camden brought me, "peanut butter", "syrup", "jam", "mutard (aka mustard)", and "mayonnaise".  He says all of these words perfectly. 

• This morning as we woke up for the day, Camden grabbed my arm and said, "Arm, big, muscles, Buzz."  (Camden loves Buzz Lightyear at the moment)

I wanted to include a picture of the two of us reading.  I love this time spent together.

This weekend Camden has said a lot of funny stuff.

• While watching the "troll in the dungeon" scene in Harry Potter, Camden kept saying, "Ogre, Big, Chasing, Peoples."  Which pretty much sums up that scene.

Video of him saying some of this (and enjoying a cookie):

 

• Upon waking this morning Camden asked for milky.   After he nursed a few minutes he looked up at me and said, "licious." Which for him means delicious.  He has also said milky was "tasty" too.

• Cream has become "pream" and tummy has become "pummy."  It seems that for now he has lost his c's and t's.

•  He woke me up from our nap on Saturday by rubbing his nose against mine and saying, "tickles."

• Everything that looks good enough to eat is "ummy." 

•  He kept running around saying, "Miss me, miss me."  I'm still not sure why, but he likes "chasing", so maybe he thought I couldn't catch him?

It is so much fun to see what he is going to say next.  I suspect I will jot down a lot of funny things and add them to this blog.
