The Teriffic Two's

Ladies and gentlemen.  Let's all just pause for one short second and take a quiet moment to realize the alarming fact that my newborn son is now 2. 

Guys.

This is not my first rodeo.  I have other children that I have reared and raised to the best of my rearing and raising abilities and let me tell you something.

2 is when it all goes bad.

Like......BAAAAAAADDDDD.

2 was the age that Brooklyn and Aubrey discovered fascinating new facts.  Like.... teeth are a handy little defense tool, super-market hide-and-go-seek is a thrilling sport, and screeching like a howler monkey = mom will give in.

But.  We're breaking the mold.  3rd time's a charm, right?  (RIGHT?!?!!?)

And now in celebration of Cameron's Second Birthday, here's 

CAMERON'S TOP TWO @ TWO

*Cameron's Top Two Phrases:

1.) "I non't like it!"  

Used in situations like driving to church, being kissed, being smothered, being cuddled, being touched of any kind, talking about/thinking about/joking about nursery.

2.) "WATCH DIS MOMMY!!!!" 

 Exclaimed on Volume 10.  Every time.  And usually followed by some variety of jumping off furniture, swinging sporting equipment, throwing breakable objects down the stairs, or an incredibly intricate gymnastics skill immediately followed by crying.

*Cameron's Top Two Movies:

1.) Rango.

2.) Rango.

4 times a day, people.  Obsessed doesn't even begin.

*Cameron's Top Two Pet Peeves:

 1.) Not being on my phone.

He knows how to use it better than I do.  Not kidding.

2.) Not wearing a diaper.

He cries when we take his diaper off.  Potty training is going to be  d e l i g h t f u l.

*Cameron's Future Careers:

1.) A trash man

I actually plan my days around the trash man's schedule sometimes because Cameron LIVES for the trash truck.  Seriously, I'm about to "friend" our trash man on Facebook.  Some weeks I see more of him than Luke.

2.) A motorcycle repair man

 Again.  Obsessed.

*Cameron's Top Two Foods:

1.) Spaghetti

2.) Fettuccine Alfredo

(He should really be fatter than he is.)

*Cameron's Top Two Toys:

1.) His remote-control Mater from Grandma Kari

2.) His ride-on motorcycle from Grandma Lori

(Obviously I struggle in the gift-giving department.)

*Cameron's Top Two Fears:

1.) Old Women

He doesn't mind the men.  Just the women.  (In Sacrament Meeting we always try to sit on a row that has an old woman on each end of the bench.  That way Cameron won't run away.  True story.)

2.) Being Left Out

*Cameron's Top Two Hidden Talents:

1.) Handstands

He is shockingly buff for a toddler and he'll have a solid handstand within a year.  Guarantee it.

2.) Finding Bugs

He's constantly dragging me around the house to see his latest find.  Not my favorite thing.

*Cameron's Top Two Undeniable Facts:

1.) He is the sweetest, spunkiest, sassiest, most splendid little boy on the planet.

2.) And we love him to pieces.
