Dear Cam,

Cam has been miserable the past 3 days bringing us both to tears. Not sure what's wrong....bad mood? Teething? Sick?I just hear my brothers words in my head "This shall pass". haha. but I decided today to just write my little guy a letter about how much I love him.


My Dearest Cam,

You’ve been in my life 25 months now and in my arms for 16 months. I would not trade a second of any day I’ve had with you. You are loved beyond words could ever describe. Never let anyone tell you or think that you were a mistake. You are nothing less than a miracle…a beautiful blessing in disguise. You have made me become a better person and opened my eyes to what life is really all about.

You are such a little ball of energy. You’ll do anything to get a laugh out of the people around you. Yet all the while very affectionate you give hugs and kisses and let us cuddle you before you go to sleep. You are getting big so fast, I only wish that time would slow down so I could enjoy your stages a little longer. You’ll always be my little boy in my heart even when you are taller than me and probably can bench press me. I’m sure you’ll always have a soft spot for you mama as well.

For future reference when you are a teenager and are bound to hate me because of the rules I make know that I do it all because I love and only want the best for you. Not because I want to ruin your life. You’ll understand all the rules and all that I’ve said and done for you someday when you have your own family. Until then I never expect you to really understand it all. I’m going to do the best that I can for you and I just pray that it’s good enough. I love you very very much.

Love always, always,
Mommy

Ugh, Holy Crap (Literally)

I took Cam upstairs for his bath and stripped him down naked. I left him alone in his room for 2 mins tops while I ran into the bathroom to draw his bath. I go back into the room and catch a faint smell of poop! I thought nothing of it at first until Ray picked up a HUGE poop log and started waving it around at me. I immediately yelled "NO EWWW!!!" and he threw the poop right away and started yelling "ewww" and dancing. hahahahaha oh man! Good thing it was bath time. Note to self: Bring my flip video upstairs for bathtime :-)

Today was the typical day.Cam was in a great mood. He chased the dog around trying to hit her over the head with his toy broom. For lunch I had to chase him around the house trying to get him to take a bite of his quesadilla....He refuses to sit down to eat anymore, because he just doesn't want to stop for one second. I don't have the patience to always fight him to sit and eat so I just chase him. Hey it's good exercise! He emptied the DVD towers twice and that included taking the shelves out too. haha he has to do a thorough job. He also built a fire (minus the fire) in the middle of the family room. That was fun...he ate some bark for a snack while he was at it. He reorganized half the cabinets while I cooked dinner. During clean up from dinner he hung onto my leg screaming. And well you know how bathtime went. hahaha. And I treasure nothing more than to watch my baby drift to sleep while I sing him a lullaby (poor kid has to listen to me sing).

I wanted to add on a side note from yesterdays post that I do have one really good best friend. She lives in California, but still she saves my sanity on my bad days and always shares my joys on a good day. I'm always grateful to have her in my life. We are so much alike I swear she was a sister in a past life ;-)
