Catch Up

Cameron is a great big brother! Well, in spite of hitting her in the head with a Wiimote and giving her a huge goose egg & bruise (he felt pretty bad). The first video is him trying to help put Melia to sleep...doing what I used to do to him when he was little. The second shows the hugs/kisses she always gets (he taught her to scream like that)! Then the third video is him helping feed her (and sharing his food).

One of our latest projects is trying to grow some flowers. I needed to repot one of my plants and bought a few new ones. I thought he might have fun planting some seeds and watching them grow. Well I picked out something that didn't require full sun that would survive in the house...and had the shortest gestation period. I was expecting these things to take a week or two and they sprung up right away!! We planted them on a Sunday afternoon and when I came home Wednesday after work the first thing out of his mouth was "mom my plants are growing". Sure enough they were.

This was Wednesday night.

Some big Cameron news...and you understand why I don't have videos & pictures...he has FINALLY warmed up to the idea of taking a shower! If you know my kid well you know this is a huge deal for him. Of course he would only take a shower with me. The first time he even washed his hair. Now every once and a while he will want to get a shower...he thinks it's a big deal. A couple of times he has even stayed in by himself, which he thinks is an even bigger deal! We are making progress.

Fell asleep on Ralph watching a movie.

Now that the weather has been nice, we've been going out for walks in the evenings. The other night we walked down to feed the ducks on the golf course. He loved it until 2 big geese came in to try and steal the bread. They were really aggressive and came right up to Cameron. Probably would have taken it out of his hand if he didn't keep putting his foot up to keep them back. He was a little freaked out by that point and decided we were done.
