I don't believe the terrible twos...

Whoever said "terrible twos" was so off!! I really think terrible two's is better matched to their 2nd year of life...when they are 1. I am loving this age!! Wish I could just freeze him here forever. I still think everything he does is cute, even when he's bad. It drives David crazy.

A few random things he is now able to do...cross his fingers, skip, blow his nose, and walk down the stairs without holding onto the railing. Some of these are pretty insignificant I'll admit, but it's just amazing watching him learn new things all the time no matter how small. He's such a big boy!


He still doesn't talk on the phone (for the most part). However, when I was in Olando a couple of weeks ago we had a good 15-20 minute conversation with him. It was like I was in the room. He had hurt his finger and was wanting me to kiss his finger through the phone. He was also eating a cookie and tried to share it with me. When it was time to hang up he gave the phone a hug & kiss and said "night night mom".

We have a Fresh & Easy store right behind our house. We pass it every time we go anywhere. Cameron knows it by name...and when he sees the logo he knows exactly what it is. Every time we drive by I hear..."I wanna go Fresh n Easy Mom". Over and over again. He will even randomly ask to go without seeing it. He has an obsession. I think it's because they have a sample area and he always gets a snack. When we leave (or times I won't stop to take him in) he will say "Bye Fresh n Easy" and wave at the store. Or when I don't take him he will start crying like it's the end of the world. He could be a commercial for the store. I've thought about making a video to submit it to them because they use customers in all of their radio ads.

Timeout no longer works at our house. When Cameron gets in a mood he will ask for timeout. It's usually when he's cranky but has not been bad enough that I would put him in time out...so he says "I want a timeout". I will usually just say, ok go ahead and give yourself a time out. So he will go sit in the corner and cry. It's actually quite comical.



If anyone knows how to reset a 2-year olds internal clock please let me know! Ever since daylight savings time Cameron has been getting up between 5:45 and 6 AM. It's like my alarm for work is in his bedroom. He has spent the mornings playing in the bathroom while I get ready. On the weekends we try to keep him up until 10 or 11....he's still up at the same time! Sometimes he will lay back down with us, but not usually for long. I even bought a black out curtain for his room...no luck. I'm open for other ideas. :-)

I was hoping to upload some voice recordings I have of Cameron from my phone. Unfortunately, I converted them to a file that should work here and they still wouldn't upload. So bummed. So some photos will have to do for now.
