Breathing Treatments

Breathing treatments have been a part of your life since you turned one.
You have infectious/allergy-induced asthma. Right after your first birthday, you got sick and at the doctor's office, you had to have a breathing treatment. We tried an inhaler with a spacer, but even holding you down, it was difficult. So, the nebulizer was our only option. Since then, you have come a long way. Mommy and Daddy used to have to both hold you down the entire time, but now, you hold it yourself. Such a big boy.

Another Snow day

Our second snow day of this school year was on Valentine's Day. Since our yard is small, we decided to head up to the Downs' to play in the snow with them. Their backyard is perfect for sledding. Todd and Nick build this huge snowman in the front year, but sad to say, he didn't last long. The temperatures were too warm. Camden had fun in the snow with his cousins!

Happy Valentine's Day

We had Valentines Day dinner at Mom's and she made red velvet cake as always. She has made this cake in the shape of a heart as long as I can remember. She has also made each holiday special since Beth and I were little girls and has continued this tradition as we have gotten older and now with her grandkids. I love how close our family is!

Houseshoes

Aunt Lynn got Camden the cutest pair of dinosaur houseshoes for his birthday and he loves them! He will see TOdd or I with our houseshoes on and ask for his. I snapped this picture of our houseshoes the other day as we were all hanging out in the living room.

Crazy Camden

Ms. Heather sent this picture to me of Camden playing in the shelf at school. She titles it "Crazy Camden." I love knowing he has such caring teachers at Victory Children's Center and think it's hilarious that with all the toys there, the kids would rather play in the shelf.

Look at Me-I am 3!

About you at 3
Your hair is a light brown with an auburn tint. You can see the red when we let your hair grow out and everyone comments on how pretty it is. Since we buzzed your hair for summer and like it, swe keep it pretty short. You are quite the talker and are alway asking why.  You're very active unless you are sick. You have not started throwing fits. I have heard about that the threes can be worse than the twos. I hope not. You are very good-natured.
You are a good eater. You will eat most vegetables and fruit, but not much meat. Only hot dogs, chicken nuggets and fish sticks. You eat ketchup with everything! You drink milk, juice and water. But your very favorite is chocolate milk. Gramma Becky bought us your first box of Nesquik and you were hooked!
You love to watch Little Einsteins and Octonauts on television and your favorite movies are still Toy Story. You like to pretend to be different things-a superhero, a builder, a doctor. You love playing sports with your Daddy, inside and outside.You prefer to be outside and I love that they take you outside a lot at school.
You are in Ms. Barbie's class at Victory Children's Center and your best buddy is Lincoln. You and he are like 2 peas in a pod. He cries when I pick you up from school in the afternoon. Your favorite song is Going On a Bear Hunt. Ms. Barbie has a cd and you guys sing it every day. You know all your shapes and colors. Ms. Joan from Parents as Teachers came for the last time and she said you are right on track!
You are still sleeping in your crib. You have never once tried to climb out of it. You just call us when you wake up. You have no interest in pottying training. We tried a little over Christmas break, but you wanted nothing to do with it! So, we will wait until summer.

Love this boy...

It is hard to believe my sweet boy is 3 years old. Where did the time go? It seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home from Minnesota and everyone could not wait to meet him. I love this age and how he is learning new things all the time!
Just the other, I was rocking him before bed. He always likes for me to have my robe on and will tell me to get it. I didn't for some reason that night and he looked up at me, pointed to my collarbone and said, "Mommy, you crunchy." I guess my collarbone was sticking out and not comfortable for him. Hilarious-our little man is!
