the Library

Camden was feeling a little sad this morning because Daddy has had 3 football games in a row this week and he hasn't been home much. So, while there was laundry to be done and a house that needed to be cleaned, I knew what was more important. So, Camden and I spent some one on one time together this morning. We went to Great Clips to get a haircut (Side note-he has the fastest growing hair ever!). Then, we headed to the library. He was so excited when I told him where we were going. I started reading him a book and I must have been a little loud because he said, "Shhhh! It's  quiet in here." He loved all the different puzzles. When he picked up the United States puzzle, he told me that this was about the news and asked where we live. I showed him Missouri and then, also Minnesota because he knows that is where he was born.

I love seeing his mind grow with each day. He learns something new almost daily! On his first library visit, he checked out Go to Bed, MOnster!, Llama, Llama, Mad at Mama and an All About Cars dvd.
To wrap up our time before Daddy got home, Camden got to take a nap with Mommy in Daddy and Mommy's bed. He was excited to sleep in Daddy's spot. And after his three hour nap, I am wondering if maybe we shouldn't try that more often!
One of my greatest challenges as a mommy has been to remember that he won't always be little. He may need me alot now and I may feel pulled in too many directions. But one day, I want to be able to look back and have no regrets! Like Hannah, "I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. 1 Samuel 1:27" and I want to treasure every minute I have with him. Thank you, God, for my sweet boy, Camden Joseph.
