A Busy Boy!

We completed our first week of Cameron going to school by himself. He loves going and the first day he gave me a hug and just blew me a kiss..although I did see the hint of a possible cry, but he never did cry. It is a huge step for us and for him. I walked (a good 20 minutes) to pick him up today and came across two roosters and knew I just had to show it to him (how often do you find roosters in the the middle of a city?) He loved watching them walk around.

Today we took a bus (which every little boy loves) and went to visit a friend for dinner. I was talking to Alan and asked Cameron if he wanted to talk to daddy and he said "I can't, I am looking out the window"

It has been raining for the past several days, but that hasn't stopped him from playing in puddles and kicking his soccer ball.

Cameron has also been busy helping Alan paint a table and helping me cheer on the Tar Heels!

Our first day of school!

Growing up

Cameron has just started pre-school...only two days a week for half a day and it is so hard to let him go. I went with him the first two days and now we have a week break and I will miss going with him next week. He is so excited to go and loves getting his book-bag ready. He enjoys his bowl of rice and veggies they give him and especially gets excited when they have toufu...can you imagine being excited about Toufu! Growing up here he definitely has different tastes than when I was little.

While we were outside this morning we found two big sticks, which was a huge deal for a little boy living in the city. One broke, but we brought the other up to our apartment and showed it to daddy. We also collected some leaves (mostly all the same size and shape...I was kind of disappointed, but he doesn't know about the wonderful variety of beautiful trees you can have in your own backyard in the States). We did our first leaf rubbing, which was really fun for both of us. After lunch Cameron ran around our kitchen table playing "baseball player" and then he quickly got a football and started throwing himself down onto the ball, and then daddy, playing "tackle" Boys are boys no matter where they live!

He us such a blessing to us and shared his apple with me at lunch and at breakfast he gave me his muffin, but then he decided he wanted it back, but he did say, "May I have it back please?"
More adventures later!
