Camden had a fun birthday. Unfortunately, his birthday fell on a Wednesday this year which is already a Young Women's/ Bishopric night. However, Alyssa also had a soccer game that night. So Alyssa skipped Young Women's that night(it was a personal progress night and she had already finished personal progress, so we didn't feel that bad about making her skip it) and we celebrated Camden's birthday with dinner at Denny's, then presents and cake/ice cream at our house after. It was already a late dinner(7pm) and then the service was slower than I have ever seen it anywhere. The waitress told us 30 minutes from when we ordered and it ended up being an hour. Kind of ridiculous. But they gave us a $50 gift card to make up for it. It made for a late bedtime for all of the kids, though. Here we are waiting for our food. I'm guessing that is Alyssa's fingers that slipped into the shot.
Camden opening his first present.
He was excited about all of the green things he got, especially these green crocs.
His request for his cake was green. So Alyssa made him this very green cake(which she did almost completely on her own). And then after it was all finished and we had shown it to him he said "I want a PJ Masks - Gekko cake." What?!? So we found a couple of PJ Masks figures to put on top and he was happy with it.
Camden is a fun little caboose to our family. He finished his first year of preschool this year(a joint effort with some of the other moms in my neighborhood). He can recognize, name, and tell the sound of almost every letter of the alphabet. He can do the same with the first 10 numbers and even some higher. I even caught him counting to 100, using a homework sheet that Tyler brought home from Kindergarten. His favorite color switched from pink to green sometime around March. His favorite shows are Paw Patrol, PJ Masks, and Puppy Dog Pals. He also loves music. His favorite radio songs are "Party in the USA," "The Middle," and anything with "baby" in the lyrics. He often tells me in the car "turn up the radio. I can't hear it." And on Father's Day he sang right along with all of the bigger kids. I've never seen my other kids actually sing the words to songs as sunbeams. It was so cute. This summer we are working on learning to swing himself, not be afraid of putting his head underwater, balance on a bike, and pick up his toys when he is done playing with them. He is a couple pounds heavier than Tyler and a couple of inches shorter than Tyler. I think his feet about a half size bigger than Tyler, as well. We love our Cam-Cam.
