Camden is 4



My baby boy is 4! Four years is so big. 3 is still toddler-like, but four? This cute little man has brought so much happiness to our lives. He makes us laugh, he makes me want to tear my hair out at times, :), he keeps us on our toes, and makes us smile daily. He is full of life!

For his birthday he really wanted to go to Boondocks with his "two best friends- and that's it!" So to Boondocks we went. We took Julianna, and Chase, and they had a great time. First we opened presents, then had cake and ice cream at our house. Then we went to Boondocks, and played games, climbed on the playground, and ran around. We wore them out! It was a simple party, and perfect for Camden.

Camden is a bit obsessed by cats right now. He talks about them a lot, and pretends he is one, often. For weeks before his birth day, he kept saying he wanted a cat cake. I tried and tried to talk him out of it, but he was not budging. So...he got a cat cake.




He begged for a Hello Kitty karaoke machine. However, that's where I drew the line. He did not get that! :) He definitely has his own mind.

A talent of Camden: He has an awesome memory! He remembers things people say all the time. He remembers lines from books, shows, etc. His vocabulary is HUGE. I think it's because if he hears a word once, he remembers it. He will ask random questions all the time, and then at a later date he recalls what he asked and will recite it verbatim. He learned the pledge of allegiance the first time he heard it in preschool. The other day he told me he has 8 units of blood. What? Where in the world that came from I have no idea, but just the way he used the word units made me laugh.

We are so glad to have Camden in our lives. He is a joy, and we cannot imagine life without him.
