I was lovingly tucking my first born son into bed tonight. I was stroking his (coarse) hair and was lavishing him with compliments of how smart, polite, thoughtful, funny, etc. he was. My hearts had eyes in them for this wonderful boy I've been blessed with. During the middle of said lavishing, Camden rolled over and said, "ok, bye Mom.". The hearts flying from my eyes froze mid air. I just know that there has never been one instance in my life that I have stopped people when they were in the middle of complimenting me.
Camden was asking about the process of how he was born. It wasn't a painful conversation, but I was using scientific terms like uterus and epidurals. (j/k about the epidural. I'm milking the pain of childbirth for as long as I can). He finally admitted that there were still things he didn't quite understand, but that's ok because he's six and is still learning. I laughed and said, "Hey! We're all always learning. I'm 35 and learn stuff every day!". I didn't think a thing of this but Camden, of course, pointed out that I am not, in fact, '35' anymore...

Kellan has asked me several times if he can sit on the couch and watch my iPad while I vacuum. It's a really specific request and it's been requested several times. I'm not sure which he wants more. For me to vacuum, or to watch the iPad. Eh... it's prolly just to watch the iPad I think as I see the carpet covered with so much fuzz from one of 'Scuse Me's toys it looks that our floor is in the clouds...

Ok, Grammy. Your birthday was yesterday. Can you please stop making us wish you a happy birthday?
Honestly, I don't think I could have invented a better Grammy for my boys. As for a mom to me, eh, there's room for improvement. ;)
Out of the blue yesterday, Kellan said "Mom, I'm really happy". There were no toys, no new special treats, just those words from my boy. As much as I am not emotional, that moment will stick with me forever.
Kellan was walking around with a bucket on his head. (I would say don't ask, but I think you know Kellan well enough by now that it didn't cross your mind that this was odd at all). Then he tripped and said "sometimes when you have a bucket on your head, you trip"...
Kellan: Tomorrow is a vegetable and tomorrow is today.
You know how people have Gandhi quotes hanging up? You may want to frame this one now...
I gave Kellan a granola bar to eat in the car. He didn't finish it by the time we got to Grammy's house so he said, "I'm going to tell Grammy to set this on a paper towel because she doesn't like sticky counters"... Welcome to my childhood Kellan. It's great to have you here...
I dropped Camden off at school and gave him a huge (embarrassing to him) hug and kiss. While I was starting to walk to the car he yelled, "Bye Mom! Have fun at work!"...
I smelled the milk to make sure it was still good. Kellan was observing and asked me if it smelled like balloons. I just kind of looked at him. He informed me that "if it smelled like balloons, it probably wouldn't be tasty"...
Kellan was talking non stop and then got the hiccups. After trying to get out a few (million) sentences he exasperatedly raised his hands and asked, "Why are my hiccy-pops interrupting me?!"...
Kellan: If 'Scuse Me had 5 legs it would be hilarious. One would probably come out of his chin!...
Camden asked me something about car parts. Then another question about cars. I told him he should probably ask Dad this stuff. He looked at me and said, "but you're older". I'm assuming because I'm older I should know everything. I know all the important things, but I leave stuff like this to younger folks...
I told Camden that my Grandma's name was Joanne. He said, "Oh. Like Joanne Fabrics?" Yes kid I'm trying to convince myself is my child, yes...

October 16th, 2015
The boys are a tad obsessed with Jimmy Johns. (Wonder where they get that). I proudly told Camden that I actually met Jimmy John. (There's nothing that builds more confidence than bragging to your 6 year old). I then told Camden, that if he had a restaurant he could name it Camden James. He replied, "but I'm just a kid".
When we're in the car, and Camden's talking about himself, he always refers to himself as "the one that starts with C". As if I can't tell who's talking, or what scenarios belong to whom...
Kellan: When 'Scuse Me turns green, we know 'she's' sick and we have to take 'her' to the doctor. (It's driving me nuts that Kellan can't grasp the fact that 'Scuse Me is a boy... Maybe I should focus more on the fact that he thinks people have to turn green to be sick. (Damn you iPad and your hocus pocus teachings).
Kellan is going through a new wonderful phase. He gets dramatically fake devastated when he does something wrong and I correct him. Then he fake sniffles and asks if it was a mistake. I finally called him out on this, and said "No. It's not a mistake when you do something you know is wrong". He could not believe that his blue eyed act did not pan out for his benefit...
Kellan: I don't know how, but every time you see me licking my nose, that means I need a Kleenex...
The boys had make-up swim lessons. Camden went first, and then sat with me while Kellan swam. Kellan absolutely loves swim, but, to put this gently, hasn't mastered most of the skills yet. I involuntarily began cracking up as the instructor told Kellan to swim to the center of the pool. He moved all his limbs, but went nowhere. When the instructor saved his life and his face popped above water level, he had the world's biggest grin. Admittedly, this only made me laugh harder. Camden caught on to this and starting chuckling. He checked with me to make sure he was laughing at the right thing. I told Camden, that Kellan enjoys every second of life, but still needs a little more practice with swim. At that precise moment, Kellan was again attempting to glide through the chlorine filled waters without any success. Kellan just so happened to look up at us at that very moment and see us unable to control our laughter. Before I had the ability to research if this was a bad parent moment, Kellan began belly laughing with us. Hashbrown #parentingwinwhenitdidn'tseempossible.
Camden is working on his sight words. I am so proud of him, because everywhere we see one of his sight words, he points it out. Unfortunately, (you knew an unfortunately was coming), I do not know what Camden's sight words are. Being the amazing Mom I am, I wanted to work with Camden on his words in the car. Since I didn't know what words to ask him to spell, I kept throwing words out there that could be considered a sight word. Finally, Camden put me out of my misery and said, "Mom, you can just yell out words and I'll tell you if they're my sight words". What he didn't tell me was that when I said a word that wasn't a sight word, he was going to remain silent. I need to see a chiropractor now that I had to keep craning my neck to see if he was in the car when I didn't say a sight word. (I think my computer has saved the phrase 'sight word' now that I have typed 'sight word' so many times).
Camden: They're called dune buggies because there are lots of bugs in the sand and they run over them.
Camden said he played football at school and got knocked down quite a bit. I questioned, "you play tackle football?". He replied "yes, and I don't know why".

October 14th, 2015
Kellan got a really big mosquito bite and proceeded to tell a very long story about mosquito's that didn't make sense. Camden finally interrupted him (I have never been so thankful for a rude interruption), and said "only girl mosquito's bite". As I brought my thoughts from deep breathing mode to actually listening to the conversation, I thought, "did I know that only female mosquito's bite and is that true?". I almost went to full doubt mode when both Camden and Kellan confirmed that yes, only female mosquito's bite. And they can cite their sources on this one... Chris and Martin from the Wild Kratts...
Kellan mentioned his best friend, Ali, hadn't been at school lately. (I didn't know he had a best friend). He said, "maybe she went to kindergarten, then college". It's a good preschool, but c'mon...
In a conversation I thought I was part of, Kellan caught me off guard by suddenly cracking up. (He has two modes. Straight faced or belly laughing). Through his giggles, I heard him say, "I thought 'T' started with 'A'!
Since it's getting close to Halloween, I explained to Kellan that 'mummies' are spelled m-u-m-m-i-e-s and 'mommys' are spelled m-o-m-m-y-s. Kellan thought and said, "Oh, so there's no 'q'?".

October 11th, 2015
We are so incredibly blessed to have Camden James Tilley. He is the most thoughtful, intelligent, funny boy ever. Happy 6th Birthday to my guy!
The other day at dinner, Camden was telling me how he'd like his hamburger prepared. He really pondered this decision and said he would like his burger with cheese, ketchup and buns. The he added, and of course the brown part. I think he meant the burger? You know, for the hamBURGER.?
We were watching the Lions game today. (I know, I know. I don't know why I take this week after week). The Lions made a really bad play, and I got *ahem* mad. Then, I noticed a flag on the play. As much as I love football, I honestly never know what team the flag is on until they put it on the TV screen. So, when the ref came on to explain the foul, I got really excited because it was on the Cardinals. I cheered and Camden asked me if that ref was talking to me...
Camden got 100% on his very first ever school spelling test!
Not just being a mom, but Camden is excellent at everything...except singing... I will admit that.
The boys were cracking up at something, and I distractedly said, "that's disgusting". Kellan laughed and said, "no, Mom. It's Monday!" (It was Sunday by the way)...
Camden was sound asleep on the couch, and Kellan was wide awake scowling at a movie. I whispered to Kellan to look at Camden and listen to him snore. Kellan listened, and looked amazed when he heard a snore. Then he looked at me wide eyed and asked if Camden had ZZZ's coming out of him...
We were at the park. Camden, "Scuse Me and I were playing soccer. Kellan was sitting in the grass playing with his monster truck. Then I heard from a little Moo Cow, "Mom, I'm great at breaking grass"...
Camden has been so excited for his birthday. (Wonder where he gets that). I said to Camden, "I can't believe you're almost 6!" He wisely looked at me and informed me that he wouldn't be a 6 year old until tomorrow 'morning'. Emphasis on the 'morning'.
The boys can't quite grasp the fact that 'Scuse Me is 8 "months" old and not "years" old yet. Camden finally relaxed once he settled on the fact that 'Scuse Me is zero. I honestly tried to explain that we count age in months until someone is a year old, but alas, this was not sitting right with Camden. We took "Scuse Me to the park, and he zoomed off running and nearly pulled the leash out of my hand. I got frustrated and told 'Scuse Me to be careful. Camden shook his head and said, "'Scuse Me is a zero year old mystery"...
Kellan was quizzically checking 'Scuse Me out, and then asked me why 'Scuse Me doesn't wear a shirt. I explained to him that animals don't need clothes. After a while, I relived our conversation and wondered why Kellan didn't seem too concerned that 'Scuse Me doesn't wear pants either...
Camden's learning the 10 Commandments in school, which is great, but also makes you realize you're not living life perfectly. We are training 'Scuse Me not to jump up at us while we're at the table eating. Kellan sternly told 'Scuse Me to get down, and Camden sagely said these words to Kellan. "Kellan, when you talk to 'Scuse Me in that tone of voice, you are not following the 10 Commandments". Oh learning this part of the Bible should just continuously bring joy to the Tilley household...
Last week the students got out of school at noon. When I picked Camden up he informed me that today had been "early release day". I remember calling it the less technical term "half day" when I was a kid. Then again, I wasn't the coolest kid...
We are all really good about saying our prayers in the morning. Kellan's catching on more and more each day. I said, "But in your Mercy, hear and answer us". Kellan repeated, "But in your car seat, hear and answer us"...
We've been outside a lot lately, so I've been more aware (anxious) about making sure the boys stay hydrated. We were talking about how you have to drink a lot of water, and that makes you pee more too. Kellan went to the bathroom, and all of the sudden I heard belly laughing. I reluctantly, I mean motherly, went to see what was going on and he was just absolutely cracking up. I asked him what on earth was so funny. When he caught his breath, he said, " I can't believe I just peed. I've been drinking Gatorade, not water!"...
I asked Kellan what the best part of his day at school was. He deadpanned "when I tripped". I didn't probe...
We (the boys) are still kind of reluctant on 'Scuse Me's name. Kellan said, "why don't we name him school picture day?" (Take a gander where he got that suggestion. I'll give you a minute to think it through). Camden heaved, "No, Kellan! That's a girl's name!"...
Taking 'Scuse Me for a walk, Kellan cheerily commented, "'Scuse Me's a great bad dog". I think he meant that as a compliment...

The boys are so excited for Camden's birthday party tomorrow. In the car they were chattering away. Camden looked at Kellan and said, "when we're all playing soccer tomorrow, Kellan, I'll pass the ball to you. OK buddy?".
I think Grammy's a little nervous about Camden's party venue. It's an awesome park with tons of fun stuff, but the bathrooms are, well, park-ish. Grammy told Camden and me a million times to remember to pick up hand soap. We were walking in to WalMart today, and Grammy asked Camden, "what are we supposed to get here for the park bathrooms?". Camden immediately responded, "doors!".
I can't believe I'm old enough for this, but I had Camden's parent/teacher conference today. He is such a smart, sweet, polite caring guy, and Mrs. Weckerly definitely verified that. Word for word, she said, "when I have kids, I want them to be just like Camden". That's definitely a compliment!
On the other side, when I was leaving to head to the parent/teacher conference, I said "bye, Camden!". He replied, "Good Luck!". What the?...

October 6th, 2015
Camden was doing his homework tonight. He was at the part that involved counting and adding up. This was too easy for him, so instead of counting in English, he decided to count in Spanish. I could tell he was getting a little bored, because 'Scuse Me made one little whining noise and he stated, "when 'Scuse Me whines, I can't cooperate on my homework"...
Speaking of Spanish, Camden was telling me that they are learning Spanish in school. I asked him if Mrs. Weckerly taught this class, or if another teacher came in. I asked him who this teacher was and he looked at me and deadpanned, "the Spanish teacher". Ok, got me there...
The boys are still getting used to the 'puppiness' of "Scuse Me. This pup has energy. When he jumps on the boys, they are a little unsure, so I just make sure to tell them that's "Scuse Me's way of showing how much he loves them. Camden was being very sweet to 'Scuse Me, and gave him a chew toy. I said "Aw! 'Scuse Me, can you tell Camden thank you?". Camden turned his big wise brown eyes at me and said "he can't talk, so it's ok if he doesn't say thank you. I understand".
This was Kellan's revelation on he way to swim. The boys were laughing and Kellan said "what the?!". Then he thought and said, "Hey, Mom! Heck comes after that". A few seconds of thought, and then "are those boys doing - comes at the end". Yes it does, Kellan, Yes it does...

October 3rd, 2015
I finally sat down at the end of the day and Kellan came and sat with me. I said "whew! Mom is glad to sit down and relax!. His response - verbatim "We can go to Grammy's in the home and relax"...
Brag alert. Camden's homework is so easy for him, he started turning the math book upside down, and writing his name upside down (right side up once you turn the book around). I can't even explain what he's doing, but needless to say, I'm hoping colleges start recruiting him soon...
Last Monday was the first day we put "Scuse Me (new name pending) in his cage before we went to school/work. Once we got him in his comfy cozy cage, all three of us stood there thinking. I saw a light bulb go off over a monkey's head and Camden ran into his bedroom. Kellan and I stood in the living room and did his signature move -shrugged. Camden came running back - lightning fast in his blue school shoes. He had "Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2" in his hand. He breathlessly explained that we should put this movie on for "Scuse Me every time we leave the house. That way he has something to keep him busy. Both boys were so excited. I put the movie in and we all felt a little better leaving "Scuse me in his cage while we were out...
Kindergarten homework has already kicked my booty. While looking Camden's work over before I sat down with him to start, I was a little confused. I honestly prayed that Camden knew what the heck "counters" were. Prayer answered, he did.
