Gettin in the swing of things

Last night Robert and I were enjoying some quiet time. We were in the den watching Criminal Minds.....one of my new favorite shows, when we heard a weird noise. I called for Alek several times before he opened his door and said "what".  He was in his room and I had assumed that Cameron was with him. He was not. When we went to look for him, we found him in Rylee's room swinging in the travel swing. This swing has been retired to the bedroom because it is not sophisticated enough for my girl. It doesn't go side to side. Anyway, here is what we saw. He's crazy. That's all I can say.

And he did used to fit....look how he's grown!

Spaghetti in the bathroom

We all know that as mothers, you lose your alone time. This is true no matter what you're trying to do. Shower, sleep or even the unmentionable....using the pot. This morning when I got up I was doing my business Cameron came in to greet me. Morning he said. This was followed by our imaginative play. Cameron's imagination has really blossomed over the last several weeks. He uses blocks as tea cups and has tea parties. He uses mister potato head arms as spoons to eat imaginary yogurt. This morning in the  bathroom I was instructed to make my hands into a plate where he placed imaginary spaghetti. I had to eat the spaghetti and then he gave me more and more.

There is definitely something to be said for imagination.

8 ferty

Cameron never fails to make me laugh. Even when I've had a long night with little sleep or a day full of chores. Last night when I was tucking him in we had our normal conversation.

Me: Goodnight Buddy
Cameron: B (B is binky which we got rid of a week ago)
Me: No Cameron, B is gone. Only babies use binkies.
Cameron: B, one time.
Me: Nope. Are you a baby?
Cameron: Rylee. Big Boy
Me: Ok then. See ya in the morning, I love you.
Cameron: Morning. 8 ferty.

I don't know where this 8 ferty thing came from. It's hilarious though. He looks at his arm like he's reading his watch and tells me he'll see me at 8 ferty. All day I've been asking him what time it is and in Cameron's world it is always 8 ferty.

He sure knows how to brighten my day.
