Cameron is 3!

This is my cute little Cameron just a few months old in his blessing tux...his eyes have always been his defining feature and I know they'll take him far in life.
This is him now on his third Birthday, December 5

Yay for Birthdays!!!! Poor Cameron, by the time his comes around we've already gone through both of his sisters recent b-days, so I'm a little worn out. But he did get a football cake (gotta love that Pamp. chef batter bowl!) and I got some gals to meet us at a carl's jr. playland with there kids...fries on me! So I can consider myself a good mother cuz he had a fun day.


This is how we have been used to seeing him in his three short years of life...paci in mouth and blanky in tow. Big eyes looking up at me to give in whenever I tried to take them away. But recently we had a break through. We were in AZ for Thanksgiving and on the drive home he had been sucking on that thing for HOURS. so I thought it was time for a little break. I took the paci away and he screamed at me and cried for thirty min straight. I was loosing my mind, so I did something CRAZY!!!! I said, actually I screamed "see this paci....it's going out the window!!!!!!" I then threw it out the window!!!! VICTORY!!!! Of course the screaming got louder and longer, but we endured. for the last week whenever he asks for it I say, "sorry, it's out the window!" He saw it go, so what can he do??? (I just threw the others in the trash and let that one paci represent ALL paci's) He is CURED of his paci habit. There's probably a nicer and less scarring way to get rid of it....but this way works too. I'll pay for therapy when he's older.

Cute! You crack me up by the way. My daughter Lindsay turned 3 on the 8th. I didn't realize our kids were so close in age.

HE is not 3!?!?! Oh my!
Tanner is in the same boat with the binkie (he turns 2 in January)! He seems more attached now than ever before. He's such a loud screamer that I prefer him to have it. I'm only making this worse!

He is a doll and your binky story is the funniest thing I've heard all day.
