Dat MY Fwoot Woop!

Camden was sitting at his table this morning eating a bowl of Fruit Loops when Blake leaned over and grabbed a couple out of his bowl and ate them. Cam looked up at Blake and loudly proclaimed, "Hey...dat MY Fwoot Woop!" Yep...that's 5 words! Count them! FIVE! He is doing amazingly well with his speech and we are soooo pleased! He has Speech Therapy twice a week at Baylor University's Speech and Hearing Clinic. His therapist this semester is a wonderful young girl named Marla and Cam really likes her. He loves being on Baylor campus, too! (Do I have a future Bear on my hands?) He loves looking at all the trees, watching all of the birds and squirrels, and hearing the chiming clock at Pat Neff hall.

Do I have a future male Paula Deen on my hands?

I was outside playing with the boys this afternoon when Slaton pulled his wagon over to me and said, "Mommy...you want some zert?" (dessert) I told him that I would love some dessert and asked him what he had. He peered into the bottom of his empty wagon for a few seconds, looked up at me with a big smile on his face and proudly exclaimed, "Butter!"

Hey y'all...Paula would be proud!

Halloween Carnival

We had our first dose of Halloween tonight. The Speech and Hearing Clinic at Baylor University had a Halloween carnival tonight. We got the boys all dressed up in the cowboy costumes (what we had, that is...I'd fallen down on my job as Mother of the Year and didn't order the rest of the costume until last weekend) and headed off. The boys were excited to be carrying their "pumpin" buckets around.

On the "real" Halloween, we took the boys to Cameron Park Zoo for the annual Zoo Boo. We went with our neighbors, Harold and Beverly and their two year old son, Landen. Everyone had a great time! (Dare I say the parents enjoyed it just as much as the kids?) Here are a couple of pictures in their Halloween costumes taken at Zoo Boo.
