So, I’ve been addicted to the game Scramble with Friends which is an app I download on my iphone to play with mom. I love it so much because you only get 2 minutes...which is way too long for me.... and you have to find as many words as possible on a 4x4 board (I think it’s this big). By 1:15 or 1:30 I’ve found all the words I can spot, so I just randomly start running my finger across the board to try to get lucky. Well, I typically play this game when I am laying in bed with the kids, trying to get them to fall asleep. So, Cameron knows the sound of the game and is always asking me, “is it our turn?” He gets “frustrated” when Grammie hasn’t played her turn and we have to wait. After each round it calculates how many points you earn. As a teaching tool, I have Cameron read the scores and then tell me who earned more points. Well, I have been on a roll lately and Cameron made the revelation, “Mom, you always win against Grammie. You know more words than Grammie because you work and she does not!” Interesting concept he came up with. Little does he know that Grammie always beats me at the other game, Words With Friends. I don’t have the patience to sit and think of the highest point word. I think this game should be timed as well!
The other day I asked Cameron who my mom was....Cameron’s answer: Aunt Nicole
And yesterday we had some professionals come by to give us estimates regarding painting and doing other renovations to the house. Cameron has decided that his room is going to be painted green. When he was shown the collection of different colors of green that he could choose from he started crying. I asked him what was wrong and he said, “I can’t decide what green to choose.” Are you kidding me???? You are crying over having to make a decision? You are one of those? I needed to start my therapy rant.....there is no right or wrong, good or bad decision...And come on....It’s green paint! In the big scheme of things....does it really matter what shade of green you choose???? Ahhhhh!
Anyway, seeing that the blog has been about Cameron, again....Here are pics of Emmersyn....just so she doesn't get jealous one day!

I asked her to take out her pacy....
I managed two quick snaps...and then the pacy was back in her mouth...with the eye roll!



You know there is going to be trouble when your 2 1/2 year old can already roll her eyes at you!!! I feel for you because I get those eye rolls from Amanda and Nick.
ReplyDeleteScramble use to be one of my favorite games... but I only played against myself to try and get the highest score. I loved the time limit too... but I always wanted to play just one more, just one more.... that caused a problem.
As for the green paint... I can understand the difficulty that Cameron is going through. It is hard to make decisions.... there may be no wrong or right answer... but who wants to sleep in Hunter Green when you should have picked the Chameleon Green or the Summer Meadow Green. It is pressure I tell you!!!
