This morning I was feeding Kellan and he scratched my face. I yelled "Ow!" and he laughed and laughed. Stinker!
I picked up Camden from school last week and when I peeked into the room he had his back turned to me and was reading a book at the table. The teacher said, Camden, your Mom is here, he looked at me over his shoulder, went right back to the book, flipped through each page as fast as he could, and then came running to the door to say hi. He's an avid reader.
Speaking of reading, when Nick picked Camden up last week all the kids in Room 4 were sitting nicely in a circle listening to Miss Jackie read them a book. Where was Camden? Standing on top of the teacher to get the best view of the book and turning the pages for her. Sometimes turning them before she was done with the page!
I went through the drive up ATM the other day and Camden screamed "FRENCH FRIES!" the whole way home. I promise we eat food other than fast food.
Grammy and Granfy babysat the boys on Saturday, so Nick and I took his bike out to a local bar. When we got there, this hot blonde dressed in a bunny costume (not sure if it was because it was Halloween or not) came up to Nick, gave him a plastic egg, giggled and ran away. Right after that an old fat man came up to Nick to talk to him about his bike. Nick came up to me a few minutes later saying he wanted to buy someone a drink. I would think it would be the hot blonde, but no, he bought the old man that complimented his bike a beer. Nick has no game. :)
Once again I'd like to thank Grammy for the Mickey Mouse CD. Now Camden makes us repeat song #2. "Forever let us hold his banner High!" Camden yells-" High High High!" At the top of his little pneumonia lungs.
I took him to Phoenix Children's Hospital to see a lung doctor because his pneumonia isn't clearing up as quickly as the pediatrician would like it to. He weighs 19lbs 9 oz and is 30 1/2in tall.
While I was talking to the doctor, Camden became a pterodactyl. I don't know why he felt this was appropriate. As I'm relaying his medical history to the doctor Camden just kept bursting out with screeches about 19 seconds apart from each other. He of course, was on the other side of the room so I couldn't gently (right) grab him. I was getting so flustered and the doctor was cracking up. She said "he's only doing this because he's getting a rise out of you." She said she has a two year old as well and the best thing to do would be to ignore it. That didn't work on Camden. He just became a louder pterodactyl. At least the lung specialist didn't suggest a behavioral specialist to me.
I had Camden in his high chair eating toast when he informed me he was all done and wanted to get down. I told him no and that he had to eat more toast. I went back to rinsing out the bottles and I could hear him saying something but couldn't quite make it out. I turned off the water and he was calling for the "dog dogs!" He wanted them to come eat his toast. I'm sure Mitzie and Muffie's ears perked up all the way in Chandler, but that's a long way, even for them, to go for a piece of toast.
Camden Kellan and I were playing on the floor the other day. I sat Kellan up and he stayed sitting up for a long time. Camden was amazed that his brother can do this now. Kellan finally tipped over and Camden looked at me and yelled "PEAS?!" I said what Camden? And he went and tried to sit Kellan up again yelling "PEAS!" the whole time.
I was getting ready yesterday morning and Camden was in the bathroom with me. He was playing with his cars along the bathtub while I was trying to make myself even prettier. I know, right? I sneezed and went back to curling my hair when I heard a little voice say "Bless you!" That was pretty much the cutest unexpected thing I've ever heard!
On Monday, Camden moves to Room 5 at school and Kellan moves to Room 2. My big grown up boys!
