Conversation 1:
Cameron: "Mom, can you talk to my teacher so she can tell you if I am doing a great job in school or if I'm doing not so great?"
Me: "Did Madame Therese say something to you that you were not doing great?"
Cameron: "No, but I think I need some more lessons in raising my hand. When you pick me up from school tomorrow can you talk to my teacher?"
Me: "Daddy is picking you up and I will have him talk to Madame Therese."
And, of course the following morning when I was dropping him off to school, we had a similar conversation regarding me making an interview with his teacher so that I could find out how well Cameron is doing at school.
This kid is so conscientious! Why would you want your parents to talk to your teacher if you weren't doing great? When Mohamed talked to his teacher, she told him that Cameron was an excellent reader, and of course, he could be more confident in his abilities and RAISE HIS HAND MORE! (He probably doesn't want to show off!)
Conversation 2:
Cameron: "Mom, this arm ankle is itching me."
Me: "Your what?"
Cameron: "My arm ankle."
Me: "Show me.....Ohhhh that is called your wrist."
Cameron: "No, it's just another ankle on my arm."
Good point. I'll have to remember next time someone asks me how many ankles I have....Four of course!
Conversation 3:
Cameron: "Mom, I hope nothing ever bad happens to you, because I would be really sad."
Isn't he so sweet? I was putting him to bed, the other night and this is what he tells me. But then, of course, the psychologist in me started thinking....ANXIETY.....I have some big therapy bills ahead of me!
Conversation 4:
To give a quick background....I was just returning home from work and the kids were at the dinner table eating. So as soon as I walked in the door this is the conversation....
Cameron to Emmersyn: "Be nice to mom, she had a long, hard day at work."
Mohamed: "What did you say, Cameron?"
Cameron: "Be nice to mom because she had a long day at work."
How thoughtful is this kid??? He always has my back. He is preparing his 2 year-old sister to behave so mom would have it easy after a long day at work! What 5 year-old does this? He is sooooooo COOL!
I LOVE YOU CAMERON!!!!!!
I love that Cameron is so sweet. I love that he wants everyone to give you a break after a long day at work.
ReplyDeleteThe arm ankles are the BEST! I was laughing out loud. Steve injured his arm ankle and it hurt his tennis career because he couldn't hit a forehand for over a year. Those darn arm ankles!!!
I love that he needs a lesson in arm raising.... I could have used some of those in school too...
