Tuesday notes

Had some additional pics from Cam's birthday to post, but just haven't been able to find the time to do so. He essentially had a "week" of birthday celebrating. It started with his "friend" birthday. We went out to dinner on his "real" birthday with Grandma Denise and Papa Mike, to Cam's restaurant pick of Chili's. And then mom and dad were in town this last weekend, so Theresa and the kids came over and we celebrated with BBQ'd steaks and swimming. (Cam wanted to finish off the "party" with some Poker ... as if WE'RE going to argue with that!)

Cam's birthday at Chili's

Picture day at school - I can't believe how old he looks!!! ;(

Ready to give mom a kiss!

I wanted to include a conversation I had with Cam, more so for documentation than anything so that I can bring it up to him a few years down the road. (Disclaimer - this conversation is about childbirth and such ... read on at the risk of wetting your pants from laughing.) I had picked him up from school on his birthday, and it was about 3:05. Starting the day before, I had been giving him the play-by-play of the day before and day of his birth. So when he was in the car, I said that 8 years ago RIGHT THIS MINUTE you were almost out of mommy's tummy. So then he's watching the clock and getting excited saying "only 2 more minutes and I'm born ... only 1 more minute ... It's 3:10 ... I'm born!" Well that was all fun until he asks about being in my tummy. Great. I'm trapped, I have 10 more minutes in the car and I have no help. He had started asking questions about babies a couple of months back, knowing they were in the mommy's tummy, but how do they get there? Well we kind of changed the subject. Figured it would come up again, so we'll just kind of put it off for now. So he says, "I know I was in your tummy, but what about the butt?" Thought he was asking me if his butt came out first, or what. Told him no, your head came out first, but sometimes babies get kind of twisted around. He sits there, and then it hits me ..."Wait, were you asking if you came out my butt?" I said no, and then he wonders where he came out at. Sooooooooo ..... I'm driving and I kind of make a "V" with my hands and point downward saying "well right here." The light bulb must've went on because he says, "Ohhhhhhhhh. So THAT'S why boys can't have babies. The hole in our wieners are too small!" Yes. Exactly. Thank you for coming to that conclusion on your own! Then the kicker ... "Well how do they get through the hair down there?" Wow. "Well sometimes the doctor will shave the mommy first." Double wow. So he says, "Oh. right. Are we almost home? I want to open my presents..."

Bryan SOOOO owes me for this one.
