Growing like weeds

No longer my tiny cowboy.

I cannot get over how fast my boys are growing. Much too fast. Most of Cameron's 3T clothes all became 'floods' about 2 months ago, and according to my scale Billy is somewhere around 16 pounds! I take them to the doctor in about a week so I'll know for sure then. Cameron will soon be turning 3 and I just can't believe it. He is so grown up. I guess becoming a big brother, getting potty trained, and growing an inch or two really makes him seem so much older. He is so fun, smart, hilarious...I could go on. He is really coming out of his shell--even walking over to Steve Hardman after sacrament mtg to shake his hand and tell him goodbye.

Just recently I've really felt the weight of the responsibility I have to teach my children the 'important things'. So before Easter we had a little lesson which Cam loved. His favorite part of the story is about the angels rolling the stone away from the tomb. I recently looked at a friend's blog (the Scott's) and got some great ideas for next Easter from her and her sister. There is a link at the side of my blog if you're interested.

Cameron's most recent gospel centered question: "Does Jesus have a car or truck?" We laughed, weren't sure what to tell him, but when he persisted we told him "He can probably have whichever one he wants." Leave it to a little boy to be worried about cars and trucks!

An earlier discussion was him in the bathtub pretending to drink the water from one of his toys proudly exclaiming he was drinking "Copy" which he confused with coffee. He caught me off guard and after we figured out that he learned about 'copy' from TV I fumbled through an explanation that coffee isn't good for our bodies so we shouldn't drink it. He didn't really seem convinced so I then said, "Mom and Dad don't drink coffee because it isn't good for us, do you still want to?" To which he replied "Yep." So I took the discussion a little further explaining that we learn at church and from the scriptures that we shouldn't drink it. He liked this a little better, but what totally convinced him was that "President Monson doesn't drink coffee and tells us we shouldn't either." Well, I guess if he won't follow mine and Wes' example I definitely won't complain if the one he wants to follow is President Monson!
