Happy Birthday Cam...

[cah1470]

Today is Cameron's 10th birthday.  He is without a doubt the sunshine of my life (dramatic yes, but true).  On Monday after we lazed around the house for most of the day I decided to take him to the mall to buy new shoes.  It was just me and him and after we found shoes I decided to stay and have pizza.  We are sitting at the table and Cam holds up his cup and looks up at me and says "mom a toast"  Me being much slower than my child asked "a toast" he says "yes a toast to our last day, you know our last day of summer".  I know it is hard to believe that a boy his age would say something like that but that is just one of the many things he has said that make me turn and shake my head and of course grin ear to ear.  So for the 6 year old who after I learned that I had gotten angry with him in error asked "so mom don't you think you owe me an apology?" for the 9 year old last year who decided he needed to practice his "sarcasm".  For the 7 year old who told me that it was ok for me to call him sweetie and kiss him goodbye but could I please do it in the car?  For the child who holds conversations that I have to pause and make sure I understood.  For the silly boy who can't dance and likes Dire Straits and Yugioh in equal measure.  And for the proud new puppy owner who is already trying to con me into a game of rock paper scissors to decide who is going to take her out tonight.  For all those moments and a million more, Happy Birthday Cam my sweet brown boy...
