Cam turned 4 on April 14th and it's a little hard to believe how fast he is growing up. Cam is a sea of extreme emotions- sometimes happy and sometimes horrible. We are trying to learn to roll with it and see what each day brings. For the most part, Cam is sweet and likes to snuggle. He is shy and hides behind me when we are around people he doesn't know very well. Cam is easily entertained and sometimes can be my easiest kid. He looks up to his Daddy more than anybody and loves his little sister, too. He is gaining confidence in himself this school year. On his birthday he got to choose his job for the day, which for the first time all year, he chose LEADER! Cam knows what he wants and knows what he likes. For his party he wanted a gymnastics party with ninja turtle plates and napkins and a ninja turtle cake from Target. He wanted ALL ninja turtle gear too, from toys to underwear. Cam is good at things that Kaden wasn't (they are quite the opposite in every sense of the word) such counting and has an interest in reading and following along. Cam gets joy out of simple things like when I bring him a snack on the way home from school. Cam gets his feelings hurt very easily and has a very dramatic reaction such as, "I'm not going to be your best friend anymore." He gets very proud of the little things that he has learned or grew to do himself like getting dressed, reaching light switches, making a happy plate and helping us with things around the house. Cam says some funny stuff, and I can't figure out if he's trying to be funny or not. One day when I was putting on a sweatshirt and had it halfway over my face, Cam said, "you look stylin'!" Another day he said, "I have some really bad news. Logan called Rebeca a doody-butt today." Cam still has meltdowns and still won't tell us what's wrong during the tantrum. He does calm down quicker than he used to and afterwards, he will usually tell us his "version" of what happened. He's "sun and rain, fire and ice; a little crazy but it's nice."
4 year old stats:

Missing a few kids from the picture but it was a great party and everyone seemed to have a great time running around!
We love you more than you know, Cam. You keep us on our toes and we are so grateful for your sweet hugs each day. Happy birthday!
