He's also great at following simple instructions. When it's time to read, I'll ask him to bring a book to me & he'll walk over to his collection, pick one out, and bring it back to me. Then he'll plop down in my lap. This also works out well when Mom is being lazy and it's time for a diaper change. "Camden," I simply say, "Go bring Mommy a diaper." Sure, he might bring me 6 or 8 balled up diapers, but they work just as well.
With this age of increased understanding comes an increased curiosity-- and an increased desire to get into mischief. Over the past few weeks, it's become common for me to find one of Camden's toys floating in Maggie's water bowl. When I go to get something out of the pantry, I often find one of his cars sitting neatly on the shelf next to a box of cereal. Also, I've found a Cheerio laced carefully through a branch on the Christmas tree, just like an ornnament. My most amusing discovery to date? Yesterday, I opened the fridge to get some milk & I found Camden's winter hat sitting on one of the shelves. Inside the fridge. I'm not quite sure how my mischievious little guy pulled that one off!
Now, for some photo evidence. A little background: Camden was completely quiet, which is always, always a dead giveaway that he's about to get into some sort of trouble. I snuck around to the dining room (where we hide Maggie's food and water bowl) and sure enough, there he was!
Oh, Hello Mother. I'm just about to stick my hand in Maggie's food bowl and then put a foot in her water bowl. I mean...nothing.
What? You act as though I'm not to be trusted!
Whatever, I can't fight the urge anymore.

Ahh, yes. Toddlers cannot be trusted. :) But are you sure he's to blame for the hat in the fridge? Didn't you put meat sauce in your pantry the other day? ;-)
HAHA! It crossed my mind that I could've been to blame for the hat in the fridge, but then I remembered that I had the fridge open for a really long time while putting the groceries away...and when I was done, he was no longer wearing his hat. You do the math.
Camden sounds just like Graham!
LoL - I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to the toddler years. My son is 7 months and I'm already on guard with his ninja like movements. I can't imagine that being combined with mobility, lol.
Kennedy is getting there too! And she isn't as easily distracted as she used to be. Some days I find myself having to hide my chuckles, and other days I am so frustrated by it. If it's this bad now, whare are 2 and 3 going to be like?! And 15?!!
I know I totally love this age! It's amazing how much they understand, isn't it?! Fortunately(???) since Lexi isn't mobile yet I don't have has much mischief going on, but she sure knows what we're saying and asking for and I can only imagine how different things would be if she could actually move her little butt from one place to another. I love that they are becoming little people!!
