I definitely don't want august to be here now. It's just the anticipation, as Koontz would say "delayed gratification " and it's a good thing.

Often with my eldest I would say to him, when he was much younger, that I would get it for him later and bless him he would put it back...now it's all about negotiating what he can do to get it. My youngest doesn't bother him at all if we don't get him what he wants.

Haha. Cameron just says "look mama" he knows that's my weakness. He's to old to call me mama so he usually says mom. I miss being mama. Anyway getting off subject. He normally gets his way cause he's so darn cute.

Isn't it funny how the sentiment is so different in our titles? I would tell Cameron that I was ignoring him until he called me mama. It worked for a while.
