Happy Birthday Camden!!


Well, a little late, but I am finally writing a post for Camden's 7th birthday!!

Camden was very excited to turn 7!  He even made up a song on his birthday about this.  It is on my FB wall and Nathan's iPod, but I don't have the time to figure out how to put it on here :(



Camden's present from us was a new room.  He will have a space theme and wanted his bedspread and lamp in his room right away...even though the jungle curtains and accessories are still present.  Very eclectic right now.  Next step is painting and getting a desk.  He was excited!  Nathan got him a football; which was exciting for both of them!

The Saturday after his birthday was his party and it was a simple party for me.  I think I have run out of energy with 13 years of parties!  But a jump castle and noodle light sabers and 10 boys...well they had a great time :)



So my youngest is now 7 and he is determined to grow up.  He brushes his own teeth and closes the door for privacy!  He takes his own shower and actually gets his nails clean most of the time.   He is doing great with his reading and can add 3 numbers together.  Although he has stopped coming into our bed in the morning for cuddles (usually because he is still asleep when he needs to get up!), he still wants to be held and get hugs.  He still says the craziest things and his teacher says she has to start writing down what he tells her!  He told her once she had on her fancy face.  This would be in contrast to my morning face...when I don't have on make-up!  

So happy birthday to my awesome 7 year old!  I look forward to what is in store for you this next year!
