Cameron was very excited about today. He's been talking about it for a long time. He turns the big FIVE today. Something about that he thought was really cool. Today is Dorene's last day of school, so Cameron gets to spend the day with Sarah, the pastor's daughter who often watches Cam. He especially likes this because then he gets to spend time with his best friend Lydia (and they are best of friends, they get along so well, it's amazing).
We had a birthday party for Cameron last Saturday, as Aunt Dee Dee came from Chicago and stayed with us. We drastically scaled back the birthday festivities and amazingly enough, Cam was okay with it. We're slowly catching on as parents that kids don't need a big blow-out affair.
Cameron loved all his presents, which included $$ from Grandma and Grandpa Dennie, some beach toys from Aunt Dee Dee, a chair from Lydia, a Dollar Tree giftcard from Marcie, and a "Cars" costume from us. He's at the stage where birthdays, holidays, etc. are all extra special as he gets so excited about all of them.
We rounded out the weekend by going to Ohio and spending the night with Tom and Paula in their new but soon to be former house. The next day, we went to Stu and Joyce's soon to be former house and had a cookout and had our usual fun time playing volleyball.
A fun weekend, but today is the big today. My little boy is 5, and so very proud of it.
