Moments With Cam

Last weekend Cam was hitting golf balls off a tee in their backyard. Mind you he has been doing this since he was two years old, so he is ahead of the curve. When he allowed me to take a turn, it was the first time I had ever tried to hit a ball from a tee....my experience was with putters on mini golf. So I whacked the ball and sliced it to the right. Cam looked at me and said "You're not very good are you?". 

When I was babysitting Cam yesterday, he climbed up in my lap and asked for a massage. I started rubbing his back through his pjs and he told me I couldn't really get his back like that so he politely slid off his shirt and I continued.  After a few minutes he thanked me for his massage and as an afterthought he said "My mom is not a real massager like you, she's just a nurse."


As we were walking to the ball field another little boy had discovered a very interesting plant that grew in a coil form and it had somehow managed to pop up thru a crack in the sidewalk. The kid asked his dad what it was....Cam answered him instead.  Without missing a step he said "It's a weed."  The kid, unconvinced, turned to his dad and again asked what it was that he had been lucky enough to find. Cam stopped walking, turned and looked at his teammate and said "I TOLD you... it was a WEED."  He shook his head as we walked off.


Most of my day was spent really taking care of the 8 month old granddaughter yesterday, so when she was napping I pulled Cam into my lap and told him "I am gonna steal some sugar from you because I have not had any of your good sugar today" and then I pecked him on the cheek a couple of times. Cam turned around, threw his arms around me and said "I am gonna steal some sugar from you because I haven't had any of your sugar either" and he gave me a kiss.


We were having Fazoli's for supper last nite and when Cam noticed that our partially eaten breadsticks were the same size, we both picked our sticks up and at the same time we touched breadsticks and said "CHEERS"
