2 for Cam

All right, I have to admit that my 5 year makes me laugh. Not just smile, but laugh out loud. He is too funny!

I have always been noncommittal on the big debate on whether or not day light savings is a good thing or not. I really don't even know if there is a big debate. It's just always been there. When one of my boys asked hubby why Saskatchewan didn't do the time change, he got "Because it would mess up the chickens." I was impressed someone knew Sask. didn't do the time change.

However, now that I have boys who bus it to school, I'll admit I like the time change. Before it was still dark outside when they left the house, and now it's not! Good enough for me.

My two youngest are out of bed a little earlier in the morning since we turned back the clocks. I don't mind. Back to my five year old...

This morning Cam and Kai came walking into my room at 7 am. My alarm had gone off, and I was getting up, so no worries. I asked Cam if he opened the door for Kai, and got that "Are you dense? Of Course." look that children seem to learn quickly. Last week Kai climbed out of his crib; I was just checking to see if he added opening doors to his arsenal. Cam helped Kai up onto the bed the turned and said to me..."Are you ok if I leave him here with you?" I told him I thought we'd handle it.

After lunch Cam and I were playing this game that he does with his brothers...it's all hand claps and slaps said to a tune and ends with someone getting punched. I just mumble along. About half way through you play a game of rock, paper, scissors. Cam came out with a gun - you know, thumb and forefinger- instead of scissors and sent me another look before he started laughing and said "Where did that come from? "

I tell you, nothing like a 5 year old to keep you young! Love him!
