Cam Cutes from Florida

Two cute stories from Florida:

1) Cameron ate like a champ in Florida. His biggest motivator was the little fork and spoon that Omi had for him. He would eat anything that we put in front of him, as long as he had a fork to stab it with or a spoon to scoop it with. We were constantly amazed at how much he ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. His usual breakfast included at least two or three kinds of fruit, a waffle or two, and some cheerios! For lunch, he would eat four or five slices of gelbwurst and a couple slices of cheese, some veggies and more fruit. During the day he also had snacks like fruit, cheerios and dried fruit. For dinner, whatever we had, he had - schnitzel, pork, egg rolls, potatoes, chicken, etc. For dessert he always had one of Omi's lebkuchen cookies. We were so proud of how well he ate the whole trip!!

2) At the spot where the walkway meets the beach, there are upsidedown brushes (with bristles facing up) to brush the sand off your shoes. Once used them once, Cameron quickly figured out what he had to do. After every walk on the beach, Cameron would spend several minutes very carefully brushing the sand off his shoes with the brushes. There are two brushes, so he would always wipe one foot with one brush, then walk over to the other brush to brush off the other foot. This method would continue four or five times, until he felt his shoes were adequately clean. It was pretty cute!

Well, this brings to mind yesterday when I had our little cat outside into the deep snow--it was finally a sunny and warm day. Our Blitz tried to run to the spot of no snow by the house, but each step, he had to stop, lift his leg, shake his foot to get ALL of the snow off, and then take another step, when it all started again.

Needless to say, it took him a LONG time to find the 'dry' spot. I took mercy on him and carried him back to the house.

Not exactly a winter cat--our old Cat would sit out on the porch railing and actually get snow on him as he patiently waited for me to let him in.

Cameron is so good at adapting to the various things thrown his way!!

Aunt Pat, what a cute story! That is exactly how Cameron was, so methodical and worried about getting every bit of sand off his shoes. He got upset if we tried to hurry him along!!
