Cam Cutes: Random Stories

Cam has been doing a lot of cute things lately, and I want to write them down. So here are some cute stories, starring Cam!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The other day, the car Cam was playing with rolled under the armoire in the family room. He laid down on the ground and tried to reach under. His arm wasn't long enough, so he got up and wandered away to the toy box. I figured that he had lost interest and was looking for something else to play with. Turns out, he was getting a hockey stick out of the toy box. He brought the hockey stick back over to the armoire, shimmied back onto his belly and used the hockey stick to pull the car out from underneath. I was quite impressed with his inginuity!

The company clambake was last weekend and Cameron and I went, along with Mom and Dad. Tim was out of town in Atlantic City with Matt. Cameron ate really well, even trying a clam. He didn't actually like the clam, but he loved the delivery mechanism (the clam shell). He ended up eating a chicken nugget, broken into pieces, from the clam shell. He also ate a couple veggies out of the clam shell. I tried to slip the clam in a few times, but every time he recognized it and reprimanded me with a stern "No Mama!"

Also at the clambake, they had peel and eat shrimp. Cam ate a couple, and then requested a bowl full for himself. I figured he would eat a few and be done. Of course not... he pounded the majority of them, and then left the rest for later. We knew they were for later because he would scream if anyone tried to take them away! Sure enough, when we were eating dessert later, Cam decided to eat his shrimp. Bite of cookie, bite of shrimp, bite of cookie. Yum, yum, what a combo! Once he was done with the cookie, he started eating the shrimp again. He spotted my ice cream, dipped the shrimp in it, and a new delicacy was found. Ice cream coated shrimp - can't beat that!

One morning, Cam was blowing raspberries on my stomach. He was laughing and blowing raspberries again and again, then all of a sudden stopped. He looked up at me and said very seriously, "Mama toot. Mama poo-poo on potty."

This story is second hand (from one of Cam's teachers), but is too funny not to share. The other day in day care, Cameron was playing with puzzles and another one of the kids came over to him and bit him on the arm. Apparently, Cam looked over at her and yelled "NO BITING!!" so loud that it startled the little girl and she started crying too. Cam's teachers tell us that he is always saying "No Biting!" to the other kids.
