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.

Christmas 2013

On Christmas Eve Camden and I mixed up some reindeer food for Rudolph and the other reindeer.  We dressed and went outside to sprinkle it around.  It was a pretty chilly evening so we didn't stay out too long.

We also decorated cookies for Santa.

Camden was allowed to open one present on Christmas Eve, this is from Uncle Andy!

After we went to bed, Ron heard some bells jingling outside and we came down to find our tree brimming with presents!  How exciting!

Camden came down the stairs and was wowed by everything he saw! Then it was time to open and play with all the presents!

Camden asked Santa for Buzz Lightyear and Santa delivered!!

It was a wonderful day! 

Uncle Andy

Our good friend Andy resembles Gru, a character from the movie Despicable Me, a little bit.  

Just a little though.

     

Well, to Camden, Gru is Uncle Andy and this is his reaction to the present given to him by Uncle Andy and Shelley.

Thank You Uncle Andy!  Camden will never forget you now.

Santa Visit 2013

Camden was thrilled to see Santa this year.  He jumped out of his stroller and ran up to him saying, Hi Santa!  

He sat on his knee and told Santa he would like a Buzz Lightyear.  Santa heard Buzz Radio....I hope he ends up  bring the right present.

For the rest of the day Camden told everyone we met that Santa gave him a candy cane.

Here are all the Santa pictures together.  Blows my mind how much he has grown!

Lazy days....

Camden was watching Toy Story one night when I was washing dishes.  I checked on him and saw this.  Niblet lay beneath him for at least 20 minutes and didn't move.  

Duncan is never far away from Cam either.  What a pair they make :)

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

Halloween 2013

I took these pictures the weekend I finished Camden's cookie costume and they were the best I could get at the time.  There was no way he was going to be anything other than Camden :)  He loves the horse next door and went to visit her.

This was the beautiful sunrise in our backyard on Halloween morning.  Just gorgeous.

Halloween night was a success thanks to the efforts of Aaliyah and Keilah.  Without them, Camden would never have gotten dressed and stepped out the door.  He was adamant he didn't want to go out, but the girls changed his mind and got him dressed.  I was a baker but forgot to get a picture of us together. 

A short video of Camden saying Trick or Treat! 

(He literally screamed at the poor lady)
