3 Year Old Check Up

I have been terrible at blogging as of late, but this little guy had his 3 year old birthday back on Sept 3rd.  Today was his checkup.  He did great and actually liked getting a shot.  He was very interested in how it worked and he watched the nurse do it.  He said it didn't hurt at all.

He really liked Dr. Wilcox and they had a hilarious conversation about dinosaurs.

Since his birthday and my last post, Cameron got a haircut.  I loved his long hair so much, but it was a lot to take care of and it was always in his face.  I missed seeing his little eyes, so we decided to go ahead and cut it. He says he misses his long hair, but he loves his mohawk and he makes sure it is done every day.

3 is such a great year (not that 2 is bad, because it is pretty great to me), but 3 is just so much fun.  Kids know how to do so many new big kid things.  Life gets a little easier and you get to sit back and enjoy all the hilarious things they say.  I am a little sad that this is my  last 3 year old.

Cameron is seriously the best kid ever.   If I had one word to describe him, it would be EASY!  Everything with him has been so easy.  He is so happy and sweet.  He never throws tantrums...never...seriously.  Sometimes, he might start to cry a little because one of the kids won't give him what he wants.  When that happens, I tell him to go to his room and cry and come down when he is done.  He always quits crying before he even gets upstairs.  Then he yells down, "Mom, I'm done, can I come down now."  It is adorable.

He is up for any adventure.  He can keep going and going and going.  He loves to hang out with the big kids.  During Sept., he loved going to soccer practice with Griffin and Ryan let Cam practice too.  He thought that was great, and he was pretty darn good.

He is constantly making up games to play and asking everyone to play with him.   He loves Minecraft, and can play it very well all by himself. 

Cam has a great sense of humor.  He loves to tell jokes and say weird things and then say, "just kidding!"

He still takes his nap everyday from 12-2.  Like clockwork.  The best part is that many days, he will go put himself down to sleep.  If I am busy, I just say, go upstairs, shut your door, and get under the covers, and he does.

He adores the nursery at church and his two amazing teachers.  He looks forward to it all week.  He has some great friends there.  His favorites are two sweet twin girls that live across the street from us.  They love to stand in their driveway and yell at him, "Hey Cameron, Hey Cameron!"

He talks all the time about how he gets to go to preschool next year and he wishes he could have gone this year.  He went on a field trip with Griffin's class, and I have to admit, he is totally ready.

Cameron is so patient.  He really understand everything that is going on around him and he is so good about waiting his turn, or understanding why he doesn't get something, or doesn't get to do something that another kid gets to do.  It really is a gift that he has.

Cameron's favorite toy is his "Teddy-Bee", which is a teddy bear that my mom brought back from England for him.  He also loves long boarding and riding his strider bike.  He really loves to play football with Jack and G. He also really loves watching musicals with Sunny.

His favorite food is:  string cheese (not really, but that's what he said)

His least favorite food:  rice (weird, right?)

Overall, Cameron is just amazing.  I can't believe that he is ours and that we are lucky enough to have him in our family.  I'm so glad we decided to go ahead and have a 5th child.  I could never have dreamed he would be as awesome as he is.  I love my little 3 year old.
