He was quite pleased with himself.
No less than 10 minutes later, we had made our way downstairs and Camden was playing under my feet in the kitchen as I prepped dinner for the night. Then there was silence. I looked up from my dicing and chopping to find this:
Yes, that's my kitchen table. Yes, Camden is standing on it, quite triumphantly I might add.
(Yes, I do realize my child is missing an important wardrobe piece in these pictures. In my defense, Camden had just gotten up from a nap and I simply hadn't put his shorts back on yet. I didn't know there were going to be so many photo ops taking place that afternoon. Normally, my kid wears pants. Promise.)
And finally, it's impossible to stay mad at my mischievous toddler because who could possibly stay mad when looking at this face? No one, that's who.
(Ten years from now, he'll probably roll his eyes and think to himself, Couldn't Mom at least maybe SHOWER before taking a picture with me? This is humiliating. So, I'll just have to get the frumpy mom pictures out of the way now while he still loves me regardless of my state of frump.)
In other awesome news (or not...), it's highly likely that Matt's old, trusty clunker of a car died last night (it's at the shop now, getting diagnosed). That'll put us in the market for a new car, since a) there's no point in paying big money to repair a car that's maybe worth $2,000 anyway and b) if we're going to add Baby Dos to our family one day, we'll need a bigger car than the one I currently drive. It'll be painful to go from having zero car payments to coughing up that monthly fee again, but you do what you have to do. Oh, and also? We're pretty certain that our freezer is dying a slow and painful death right now too. That's what its loud, dramatic moans seem to be saying. Good thing we like forking over several thousand dollars all at once...
In the meantime, I'll just keep revisiting the cute that is the pictures posted above in hopes of softening the blow to our wallets.

Remember how we were looking at cars to buy at the end of the summer, my car is ALSO in the shop until TUES (good thing I'm out of work) and will probably ALSO not be worth the money to fix it. We are now seriously looking....let me know what you check out when you start looking, I know you said you liked the Highlander. I can't believe you didn't freak out that he was using the toilet bowl cleaner! haha.
Amy- I think the Highlander is still really high on our list right now. We got a call from the shop today and they haven't yet figured out what's wrong with the car so we don't know if it's a $200 or $2000 repair. I forsee some serious car shopping in our very near future; Matt was looking online last night. Let me know what you guys decide to get.
I would've freaked out if he was playing with the toilet cleaner unsupervised, yes. But I was in there w/ him and he looked at me as he pulled it out of the cabinet. I just watched a second to see what he planned on doing with it and was quite impressed he went straight to the toilet to "clean". Someone's been watching me carefully! Of course, I took it away from him & locked it back up a second later.
Camden is definitely your child. It will be nice to have help around the house with the cleaning. ;)
