Cameron turns 3

I can't believe that Cameron is 3 years old!! We had a fun family party to celebrate his 3rd birthday. We had pepperoni pizza ( he calls it macaroni pizza), carrot sticks, and juice boxes. His favorite dinner. For dessert he picked rainbow cupcakes with green frosting. He got his very own big boy bike. He had been riding around on a pink barbie bike and Jeremy decided it was time he had a really boy bike instead of a hand me down bike. Cameron loves his new bike, and he still likes to ride the pink barbie bike too.

He didn't want to smile for his birthday picture. I think he was feeling a little embarrassed because everyone was watching him and singing happy birthday to him. He loved blowing out the candles so much that after he did it the first time he wanted them lighted again, so he could blow the candles out again.

Riding around inside on his new bike after dad got it all put together. Kylee and Emilee were pretty jealous. They wanted to bring their bikes inside too and ride around. We reminded them that when they got their bikes for the first time they were able to ride around the house on the bikes too. Fun times. Cameron asked if we could ride around the block that night, but it was already past 8PM and way below freezing outside. He wouldn't have cared, but dad didn't want to go out in the cold : )

He still loves to climb into the cupboards and play peek-a-boo. I have pictures of him doing this at 8 months old once he started to crawl and many times since then. If we are trying to find Cameron and aren't having any luck more times then not we just need to look in the cupboard and there he is.

Emilee and him are good morning buds. Once Kylee heads off to school it's only the 2 of them until it's time for Emilee to go to afternoon school. Emilee and Cameron love to take the lid off the storage ottoman and load up the pillows and blankets and read in the ottoman. It's so awesome to see them together.

He may be 3 years old, but he's still my sweet baby. I haven't actually had a 3 year old without having a new baby around. He is growing up way to fast. 2 weeks before his birthday we started telling him that when he turned 3 that it would be time for him to start wearing big boy underwear and going in the toilet. The Friday after his birthday we didn't have anywhere to be so we put big boy underwear on, and had him sitting on the toilet every 20 minutes. The first time he actually went potty in the toilet he was so amazed with himself. " mom I did it. I went potty in the toilet." It was pretty amazing to me too. Of course, we still have accidents, but it's getting better each day. We have been so blessed to have Cameron come into our life. He is such a sweet boy. He loves to grab onto my leg and give me kisses. Lately when I ask him to do something and I forget to ask politely. He politely reminds me. "mom you need to say please first." Love this boy!!
