We took Cameron to a new trampoline place called Flippin Out. He had a blast! They have lots of bouncy house type things and the huge trampoline area. We actually got him to go down the big blow up slide this time by himself without being forced. Then he and David played a little dodge ball...from the video you will see Cameron won in the end with a smack to David's face. Also finally let him try to play air hockey. He always asks when he sees the tables...this time we let him go and he lost interest in about 10 seconds.
It never rains in Vegas, but this last week has been an exception. We actually had a couple of days with good rain & thunderstorms!! The first really good rain we had Cameron ran outside in his pj's to check it out. He was absolutely soaked. This was probably the first time he had enough rain to actually make a puddle...so he was experiencing his first puddles jumping around on the patio.
San Gennaro (Italian festival) was this last week too. This was the first year Cameron was old enough to actually ride at the carnival. They moved the location to the Rio and seemed to have more rides this year. We had a great time!! Started off on the little kids rides. He rode a little dragon roller coaster by himself...looked terrified like he was about to cry the entire time. Said it wasn't scary though...just hard to hold on. The hit of the night though was the Tilt-a-whirl! We rode that a couple of times. When it really got spinning we were laughing so hard. We were so dizzy!! I must really be getting old because it didn't take long for me to feel miserable from all the spinning and swear it took a couple of hours to recover after we got home.
We took Cameron on his first hiking trip at Red Rock. He had so much fun!

The biggest news...he finally conquered the carousel!! So if you remember, the first time he cried and kicked and ended up only sitting on the bench like a 90 year old man. The second time David tried to take him on and he started crying again so David gave up and just pulled him off. This time I took him on and forced him up on the horse. He wasn't happy and kept a death grip on my neck until it started. Then he realized it wasn't scary and all was good. Not a great picture because you can't see him, but had a huge break through so had to include.
This is a picture of Cameron in "his cage" as he calls it.

Then he got so cranky when we got in the car to go home. Mostly because we aren't napping anymore and we still have days he really needs one or he turns into a little crank monster. He actually rolled his eyes at me. Can't believe they learn to do that so young.

We bought Cameron a train table for his birthday. We have been into Toys R Us a couple of times over the last couple of weeks and have had to drag him out of the train section because he loved the floor demos. Well we are like big kids and couldn't wait to give it to him. Last night we stayed up and put it all together. Thought it would be fun to have it sitting in the loft so it would be the first thing he saw when he got up. He came into our room and said "Can I go play with Thomas?". He was super excited and I told him he could go play with it.
One of the first things we do in the morning is sit on the potty and he picks out his underwear for the day. Of course he had to pick Thomas the Train underwear...then proceeded to play with his trains in ONLY his Thomas underwear. He spent the entire day up in the loft playing with his train set. It is a huge hit. Now at least it won't be so new he won't share when we put it out at his Thomas birthday party for the kids to play with.
A funny story about his birthday. The other day Cameron randomly asked me if he was 3. I told him not yet that his birthday was in a couple of weeks and then he would be 3. He got all upset and told me he didn't want to be 2 anymore and asked if he could be 3 now. Now when you ask him how old he is he will say 3 and look at me and say "right mom, I can be 3 now".
Cameron likes to play games. We bought Perfection and took a video of Cameron the first time we played it. They practiced at first just putting the shapes into the holes. He had no idea that when it was actually turned on when the timer expired it would pop everything up in the air. As you will see in the video it scared him and then he started laughing. At the end he said "that was a good one".
