All night after Camden came back from his grandparents he kept calling me "baby" --like a term of endearment. . .I'll be right back, okay baby? (I guess he hears daddy say it enough)
One night Camden wanted to sit in the dining room for dinner (we have a very casual dining room), so I agreed. He looked at the picture of Jason in his navy uniform that sits in there and says--"Hey, you get down here and sit with us"--then he looked at me and laughed. This led into the discussion about where daddy was and who he was doing work for:
"Who is the Navy?"
"A branch of our military (yes, I know it's over his head, but sometimes you don't have a choice) made up of men and women who go out and protect our country"
after some thought--"that is SO nice of them--my daddy is SO nice"
Dinner just the 2 of us at Frontera, we've eaten and I reach down to check for a quarter for the gumball machine--I realize that I have left my wallet at home. . .I freaked out, and told Camden 'Oh no--Mommy doesn't have any money'- who else was I going to tell?? He yells--it's okay mommy, I'm sure some of these people have money for us!! Then the waiter comes by to see if I need a refill and Camden (hands up in the air) says NO--WE DON'T NEED THAT, WE JUST NEED SOME MONEY! --nice. . .
Sees a little boy in the hospital on TV--Mommy, why is he in the hospital? Is he sick, or is he born?
The other night Camden found a button--he asked what it was and I told him it was trash, we needed to throw it away--he immediately started crying and said "No Mommy--it's a treasure"
bless his heart, he truly comes by it honestly--I collected everything! I still have a hard time throwing away tags and spare buttons off of my clothes!
The newest thing he's started: What can I have to eat Mommy, talk to me about it, tell me what can I have?
Tonight as I was putting him to bed he told me after I read his story he wanted me to tell him a secret(he whispered the secret party). . .Okay--do you know what a secret is? "NO" it's something you don't want anyone else to know. So after his story I whispered something in his ear (truly I don't remember what it was), and then I told him I wanted a secret. He sat up and thought really hard and then whispered (in tune mind you): "It's the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Come inside it's fun inside" "k-e-y M-o-u-s-e" then laid back down!! haha!!
