The Twos are Also Funny.

My sister has said several times that the twos are her favorite kid age and I can understand why. Camden makes me laugh all.the.time.

My favorite moments from the past week, in no particular order:

At naptime today, Camden looked over at me and stated matter-of-factly, "Mommy pretty." Aww, right? Before I had a chance to thank him and tell him how sweet he is, he followed that up with, "Me Daddy no pretty." (Sorry, Matt, but I have to admit that I laughed when he said that. A lot.)

Camden is obsessed with his "dadow", which you might know as a shadow. We were walking back from his cousin's house last night after it had started to get dark and the street lights were on-- the perfect setting for "dadows". Camden watched his shadow follow him the entire way home and narrated the process with, "Come on, dadow", and "Me dadow in grass." When we got to the front door, he was not happy when his shadow had to stay outside, but he happily reunited with it as soon as we set foot outside this morning; he yelled, "Hi, Dadow!" as if greeting an old friend.

Yesterday afternoon, I ran out into our backyard when I noticed our side gate had been left opened. Our dog was outside and I didn't want her to escape. Camden stood at the back door and, just as I was about to come back inside, he pulled the sliding glass door shut and locked it. He smiled at me through the glass and declared, "Door locked, Mommy." Thanks, buddy, I happened to notice that. (He unlocked it a couple of minutes later. The reason this was funny instead of reason to panic? I easily could've walked around front and gone in through the garage if he hadn't finally decided I was allowed back in.)

He might've said he's "no pretty", but he sure does love his Daddy.

Hi. I combine cute & funny, so that no one can ever stay mad at me.
