I'm behind on my posts. I keep meaning to post about Cameron's end of school program, summer fun, father's day and I know some other things too! This is going to be a quick one, it's just one of those things that I will probably forget or I won't remember how it happened, and I like to look back on some of these everyday things. :)
Today, I took Cameron to the park to meet some friends. We were there for about 20 minutes before Cameron broke down. His black Toyota went down the drain at Mulberry Park. My goodness, you would have thought something serious happened! I had to take Cameron to the car to get him settled down. It didn't work. At that point I was so mad at him. I couldn't believe he was so upset over a car! I told him it was ok to cry, but enough is enough. He had 4 friends there and all he could think about was his car (when he has 500 more at home)! He could not stop crying so we went home. He finally settled down and I could just tell he was just so heart broken. Then I thought how important his car was to him. I compared it to how upset I was when someone stole my purse. I cried too. All weekend long! I wanted it back too, but it wasn't coming back. So I finally understood where he was coming from. I had to remember he is only 4!
We eventually took a nap and he woke up feeling better, but still talking about what happened. We went to Michaels yesterday and bought a wooden bird house and some paint. So we worked on painting the bird house and he started to feel better. He is so proud of his birdhouse. At dinner his prayer was, "thank you for the birds that fly and thank you for the birds that die"???? Not sure where that came from, but it was cute.
So today I am thankful for my little boy. He teaches me something new everyday! He is just so sweet and innocent. Don't get me wrong, he can be a serious little stinker too, but he is sweet. Today at the park too, he said, "mommy, mommy, look at the butterfly". It's just the simple things in life that light up his eyes right now. :)
