"I Too Scared"

This has become Cameron's favorite phrase and our least favorite.
If we tell him to go downstairs and play "no I too scared."
If we tell him it's time for bed "I too scared."
"Cameron it's time to eat dinner." "Nooo it's too dangerous."

He also has quite the imagination. Last night Steve picked him up from my Mother's house and he told Steve he was scared because "there's a blue monster in the bushes with golf balls on his head." Ummm, ok! If it's not a monster it's a ghost if it's not a ghost it's a dragon. Where does he get this stuff? I'm sure it's part of being 3 but I cannot wait for this "phase" to pass!

My Other Little Daredevil

I thought girls were supposed to be timid and less "fearless" than boys? Well, not my daughter she's just as crazy and daring as her brother. She has a mind of her own this one (well we already knew that). Steve keeps telling me she's going to be a tomboy...

One Week Until School Starts!

Today we went to visit Cam's pre-school so he could take a look around before starting next week. He woke up this morning at 6:30 asking if it was time to go yet! When we got there he was a little shy at first but he warmed up quickly when he saw all the toys. Cam's teacher wasn't there so the Director showed us around. He loved it! He was loving all the new toys and the huge playground outside. We didn't stay for too long and he didn't want to leave. I had to bribe him with lunch at "the store" to get him out! I'm hoping next week will go smoothly since he's so excited. My little baby is growing up!

I wish I was here.

Sidewalk Paint

I found a recipe for sidewalk paint on a blog that I read. Since it is easy to make I made some this morning and we went outside to play. Wow, it's hot out! We didn't last too long, well Arianna and I didn't but Cam would have stayed out.

Sidewalk Paint
2 tablespoons corn starch
2 tablespoons water
4-5 drops of food coloring (or washable paint) add more for a more intense color.

Mix water into the corn starch until it dissolves then add the food coloring or paint. That's it!
It's very runny which I'm sure adding more corn starch would solve but Cam didn't seem to care. Next time I'll put more paint in because when it dries the color is very pale.

Lazy Days of Summer

Last Friday after Cam's last soccer practice we spent the day outside. It was fun watching Arianna explore and try to keep up with Cam.

We call him Shaggy...
