Camden's little two-year-old personality is really starting to shine through, with a lot of attitude. Here are some of the latest things that he has been saying and doing.
1. His new favorite movie is Bambi. The other day we were watching the part where the hunters are shooting at the deer the very first time, before Bambi's mom dies. Camden was concerned and asked if Bambi's mother got shot. I said no, not this time. He looks at me and said, "Audrey got shot." I assured him that Audrey didn't get shot. Then later in the day I was rethinking that little encounter and realized that morning we had taken Audrey in to get her shots at the doctor's office. I had told Camden that Audrey was going to get shots and they were going to be owie and she wouldn't feel good for a few days. Poor kid must have thought Audrey was going to be shot with a gun.
2. Lately when Camden gets mad he yells, "Fair!" Aaron was questioning what this meant and I explained that Camden has not yet mastered the whole phrase of "N-O fair." I spelled it to make sure that Camden wouldn't catch on and start repeating it. Well, he out smarted me and he now spells it out, just how I did to Aaron. Sometimes he even goes so far as to say, "N-O-P-Q-R-S Fair!" It's so hysterical.
3. Every day Camden wakes up and asks me, "Where we going today, we going to Reno today?" I have to tell him that we aren't going to Reno, but just for fun, I always ask what's in Reno. He always replies, "Hannah in Reno." (I will soon be doing a post about Hannah, for those of you who don't know who she is.)
4. Whenever we are driving into our driveway Camden asks if we are going home. I tell him that yes, we are home. He will then say that no, this is the Arizona house, Camden's house is in Reno.
5. Today he ran out the back door and told me that he was running away. How does he know what that means at age 2?
6. Every day he wakes up and says, "Nice sunny day!" That's a quote from Bambi, but living in Arizona, it's usually pretty accurate every day.
7. Whenever we go into the garage he pulls out his sled and puts it in the driveway and sits on it, as if waiting for the snow to come so that he can sled. I have explained to him that there isn't any snow here. So now he just calls his sled his magic carpet. If he doesn't see it right away, he'll always ask where his magic carpet is.
8. Aaron has always called me "Babe" as a nickname. In fact, I rarely even hear Aaron use my name. Some times I wonder if he even knows what it is. :) Lately, Camden now calls me babe, especially if he is concerned about something. The other day I hit my nose on something and cried out in pain. Camden came running over and said, "What's wrong, Babe? You alright Babe?"
