I was looking for some paper to write a note on today and I came across this list that I made last year. My mom was really good about writing down funny things that we did or said and has always encouraged us to do the same. My list is entitled The Chronicles of Camden. Just in case you don't know, Camden did two better than most two year olds. And when I say better, I don't really mean better! Here is a sample of some of the fun we have with our little guy...April 10, 2009 Cam poured 4 packages of Cranberry Crystal Light powder all over the family room carpet, furniture, and Keagan's head, staining his scalp red for a week and the carpet forever. Also anytime anything in the family room gets wet, it magically turns red!
April 20, 2009 Cam stabbed a 1 x 1 foot area of Mom's hallway wall repeatedly with a 1 foot long screwdriver.
April 21, 2009 Cam poured an entire bottle of new shampoo on his head
April 27, 2009 Cam poured a bottle of engine lubricant all over the back of the suburban.
April 28, 2009 Cam emptied two bags full of batting all over Casen. Instant Christmas in April!
April 30, 2009 Cam dumped out the whole container of softsoap. (second time in 2 weeks)
May 4, 2009 Cam finger painted tooth paste all over the fish tank at the dentist office, used some of the tooth paste as glue to stick his garbage to the tank, smeared some of the tooth paste all over the carpet around the tank, and then unraveled his new dental floss all over the floor. All done while I was making his next appointment. Wow!
May 5, 2009 Cam emptied the entire replacement bottle of shampoo all over the tub.
May 2009 Cam hammered the side of the suburban with a hammer, thank you Auntie Lori for stopping this one.
May 2009 Cam cut up the handles of Mom's quilted bag.
May 27, 2009 Cam poured 20 oz of red Crystal Light all over the huge toy tub covering everything in red yummyness.
(In case you are wondering, all flavors of red Crystal Light have been banned from our home!)
So, as you can see Camden was a special two year old. At least I don't think this behavior is normal, I certainly hope not! There is something about him that I absolutely adore and it is a good thing, because he never stops! I am posting this hoping that one day I will be able to look back on this and laugh. I was hoping that I would be able to do that now, but he is still truckin! Even as I write this he is telling me that he needs to go poop in the front yard bushes, bare bum showing and everything. OH MY!! So glad I am out here with him! I hear over and over again that boys are so much easier than girls, HUGE props to all you mom's of girls. My prayers are with you!! :)

girl drama just tends to be emotionally scarring vs. the physical trauma of boys
we could trade toddlers for a week; I bet we'd both come back grateful and wishful in different ways.
I really don't know how you keep up with all your little men... All I can say is that Camden is definately a keeper!
wow ... and this is only episode 1 of the Chronicles! We've got 3 more to go! :)
I am so glad that I am not the only one that has to deal with all that comes with boys. I don't remember signing up for anything of this! Oh how I empathize having 5 boys!
Ok, let's rephrase...MOST boys are easier than girls. :) If it's any consolation, my most creative (aka destructive) child is my most joyful sunshine child now. That was only a small portion of Cam's creativity, I hope you have the rest written down, truly, you should write a surviors manual. Good think he is so stinkin cute! And that he has the most patient mama on the planet.
The little sh@#!!!! Oh but he is my sweet little Elmer!!! Miss you guys!!
