The boys and I had the best car ride home last night. We all took a turn picking a song to listen to. Torrey was with us, and picked, "How Much is that Doggie in the Window." I have never heard the boys laugh so hard!
On our way up to look at the new house, we got McDonalds for the ride. I had to brake suddenly on the 17 and heard some things in the back seat slide around. After making sure the boys were ok, I asked them what fell back there. Camden sadly replied, "my fries that are french."...
We drove up to Jerome the other weekend. On the way there we noticed there was some smoke and I realized a brush fire had started along the highway. I braced myself, as my little Camden worries so much. I didn't want him to have anxiety on the trip and the fire seemed to have just started, so we would be out of the way safely. As we were passing we could see smoke in the distance. We saw fire trucks heading that way. Little anxiety boy started being a reporter on the emerging fire. He was cracking up and announcing we had a 'brosh' fire up ahead that had a lot of 'smock'. We were all cracking up. I'm so glad my Camden handled that without getting worked up.
I have the worlds best boys. They are so close and kind and thoughtful with each other. (When they're not fighting sigh). I was working in the office and the boys were playing in the living room. The TV was on in the background. I noticed the show they were watching kept pausing or something. I went out there to see what was going on. Sweet little Kellan had the remote and was fast forwarding. I asked him what he was doing, and he replied, "Camden finds this part a little scary, so I just fast forward through it." My heart burst. He did this on his own, without a second thought.
I was in the kitchen cooking, and asked Camden if he wanted some of the tomato I was cutting up. He grabbed it happily. A few minutes later I noticed he still had it in his hand. I asked him what he was doing and why he hadn't eaten it yet. He gave me his sly little grin and said "I'm carrying it around until the time's right!"...
Speaking of my sweet little boys, I sighed pretty hard the other night. Kellan grabbed my hand and said, "It's ok, Mom. I know life is hard."
Camden is very protective of me. It is so sweet, but I have to remind him to have fun being a little boy and let me take care of me. It is such a great quality of his, but I want him to be a fun loving happy little guy only and not worry about me. I had asked Kellan to do something several times, and let's just say, it was not getting done. Finally Camden yelled at Kellan to do what I had asked. I hugged Camden and said "thank you, but please let me be the parent." Camden grinned and said, "Ok! I'm the sheriff then!"...
I was letting the boys know that I talk to God all the time. Camden said, "I don't see you making the sign of the cross a lot." I explained to him that I speak to God with my heart, and God is always listening even if you don't start a prayer with the sign of the cross. He pondered this for a moment while I patted myself on the back for my excellent mothering skills. He then threw his hands up in the air, looked towards the sky and exclaimed, "what other secrets is this world keeping from me?!"...
