Mr. Independence

Chris and I were being lazy this a.m., lounging around in our room as the kiddos played. Camden tried to convince me a couple times to go downstairs to get breakfast. I thought I had lucked out by him getting distracted by toys in his rooms... but it wasn't too long before I heard him calling for me "MOMMY"... a minute later "MOMMY" ............ another minute later "I LOVE YOU"........... "I LOVE YOU!"

Now when you hear those words as a mom it means one of two things 1. Your child wants something (in this case probably for me to go downstairs and get breakfast) or 2. Your child has done something that will most likely require some cleaning.

I went to find Cam and soon discovered he was not in his room as I had thought... rather he had gone downstairs and fixed breakfast for himself!!! He even got a plate for the ever healthy breakfast of potato chips :)

He left some evidence of his independence in the pantry which is now a bit disheveled...

but he did clean it up... after he was done with his breakfast :)!
