This is Cameron--my free spirit. I love this picture because it shows one of Cameron's qualities that I love so much about him. His excitement for life, his thirst for adventure, and his ability to just have fun! For the record however, there have also been many times where I did NOT find this quality endearing. Sometimes these "qualities" can be a little stressful and exhausting on a mother.
Anyone who knows Cameron has probably seen that "twinkle" in his eye. I believe that behind the twinkle there are little gears turning, clicking, wondering....hmmmm, what can I get into now? This picture was taken on Memorial Day weekend a couple of years ago. It was the first hot and sunny weekend to kick off the summer and Cameron seized the day with dust pans in hand. You can be certain you will see many more photos of Cameron seizing the day.
Life with Cameron has certainly not been boring as he's got a natural curiosity about him. I can't tell you how many times I walk into his room and find things taken apart and put back together with parts from something else. Kinex, Legos, transformers...you name it, he can build it. I truly believe he could be an inventor when he grows up.
As a young child he had many - what we like to call - "Cameronisms." Like the time he was telling people at Thanksgiving he had ancestors that came over on the "cauliflower"; or the time we were watching the Tour de France and he wandered in and wanted to know if "Neil Armstrong was still in the lead." But my favorite has to be the time we were in the car and a young Alex, who was so enthralled with eagles at the time, was waxing on about how his dream was to go out west and see eagles soaring and then Cameron dryly replied; "my dream is for you to stop talking."

My secret wish for you Cameron is that you never lose your zest for life--no matter how much it causes me to worry.
