Since Cassie is out of town this weekend, I've had the pleasure of hanging with Cam all Thursday and Friday and we've had some fun adventures. Thursday's highlight was the mall. Yes, I know he's not interested in shopping, but they have this cool discovery area for kids. However, my plan failed me when I realized that 10,000 other moms had the same idea that day. The place was packed, so I decided to make the mall our own "discovery area." I let Cam stop at every planter of flowers, every bench he wanted to sit on, we rode up and down the escalators, and we watched the fountain they have there. He had a blast and felt like a crazy free man since I didn't bring his stroller.
Day two was lots of fun too, but he got into a little trouble. We were playing in the backyard and I ran in really quickly to get something. When I came back I found Cam sitting down with red stuff all over his shorts. My first thought was...."oh no, we're going to have to amputate and that officially makes me the world's worst aunt!" Then I got a little closer to discover what had really happened. He found my strawberry plants and he was smashing the strawberries between his fingers, feeding them to Blue and himself. Blue seemed to like it a lot more than the rocks Cam had been trying to feed him all afternoon. Anyhow, here are the pictures.

Maybe I should have fed him more.....I don't know.

Okay - Gutsy move to go to the mall without a stroller - hmm. I usually avoid the mall and stick to the stores with carts - ie Target. Cam is proving to provide some good "mommy" experiences for you Cher. Maybe that is why the Lord sent them to Utah. Where is Cas? Arizona????
You are the best aunt ever. That kid loves some good old fashion freedom! I'm loving the strawberries for a few reasons... first, Cam is a great survivor-- he eats what he finds in the "wild." ...second you got something to grow in your yard! Yeehoo! You've been watering! GOod job Cher! I love this post! Keep it coming!
I am waiting to see who gets sick first Cam or Blue????
