Well, one of my New Year's resolutions was to blog more. And since all of my New Year's resolutions are coming true (including other gems like work less/make more money, and basically be Ashton Kutcher) here I am. Let the blogging commence!
There is no question that Cameron is officially a full-blown toddler. How do I know this you ask? Well, sign one is the fact that he now refers to me as Mike instead of Daddy. Well at least the respect thing lasted for a little over a year. There's no greater sound in the world than hearing your almost 2-year-old shouting your first name at you and directing you to get him a smoothie from the kitchen. But that's not the best part. The best part is that even though I'm bossed around like I'm Mr. Belevedere, I'm not even allowed to complete a mission. Cam's in such a Momma phase that once I fetch his precious snack I'm not even permitted to open it. Seriously, if I try to open it I am verbally lambasted. I must carry the snack to the one with magical opening powers (aka Mindy) so that she can present to him his bounty. I'm like a roadie for Mindy's fan club at this point. It's all very sad.
Another sad story. I wake up a couple of week's ago to find Cameron has no pants on. I'm finding this rather humorous, until I realize that he has also removed his diaper and there are large brownish stains all over his crib area. (A bit of advice. Although I tried to clean thoroughly, unless you want pink eye, you may want to think twice before cuddling with any of Cam's stuffed animals. I'm just saying). Taking the opportunity for a teachable moment, I pulled young Cam aside later in the day for some problem solving. This is how that conversation went.
Me: "Cameron if you're dirty at night just say 'Daddy, Dirty' and I'll come and change your diaper.
Cam: "Addy, irty."
Pretty good right? Except he promptly crossed the room and checked my diaper. I feel like we're making strides!
Well, there is much more to catch up on. Like Cam's Christmas bonanza from the grandparents. A trip to Denver for my cousin's daughter's wedding (I think I'm officially old now right). A riveting re-cap of my fantasy football season. An editorial of how the modern world is re-creating the new testament, with the part of John the Baptist being played by Tim Tebow and David Stern as Pontius Pilate. If you want to find out who JC is you'll have to tune in next time...
Till then,
Addy Mike
