Sweet & Sour

My sweet Cameron. You are so much like me - it makes it hard and funny all at the same time. In the last 24 hours you have shown my your (and mine) surely sour and super sweet side.

Yesterday when we were at the grocery store you kept putting your blocks too close to Zach's face. Daddy warned you not to do it again (so you wouldn't bonk him) and you did. The consequence was Daddy taking the blocks away. You screamed and cried. Except, when you do anything, it is louder than most people. The entire store (NO JOKE) could hear you having a fit. Mommy and Daddy ignored you (even though we still had another half hour of shopping to do) to teach you about making choices and consequences. There was even one lady that I'm pretty sure thought Daddy was kidnapping you because of how big of a fit your were throwing and the look on her face (silly lady). Although this is part of parenting, your extremely loud noise level, can surely be sour.

And then there was tonight. Daddy had been gone all day and was going to be gone all night. Mommy was so tired from staying up late last night helping your cousin Alex at the hospital and getting up early to work out. She was so tired and sore she couldn't even make herself do dishes before the night was over. Mommy was putting you to bed, with the usual routine. She was in the middle of your prayer, "...and please bless Cameron that he knows that Mommy loves him so much and Daddy loves him so much..." when you interrupted -

"Mommy, I love that part"

Oh my divinely sweet boy, I love that part too!
