A Dad’s Blog

Despite getting a little over two hours of sleep I managed to function through this morning. No, really, all that the Bigelow Green Tea with Lemon, Sugar Free Red Bulls and Ginsana are a normal part of my morning.

Seriously!

It’s a beautiful day outside and with the morning in full gear we decided to talk Camden out for a sunny walk on the walking, jogging and nature trail that goes around the Monastery of Our Lady of the Valley in Cumberland Rhode Island.

The following video is my little montage which appropriately ends with my little man dozing off and hitting nap time just as we pulled up to the apartment.

He’s sound asleep now… Which to me, sounds like a great idea!
Nap time, FTW!

One of the highlights of my weekend is spending mornings with Camden without either of us rushing on out to start the day. I decided to record some of this morning’s conversations as I’ve gotten some good feedback on the videos I have been posting.

Remember the language of Ah-Rah? Well, today it’s all about “DaDah” which I obviously enjoy quite a bit.

I always hate how I sound on videos… but this is a Dad’s Blog. I sort of need to get over that if I’m ever going to be heard interacting with my little man. So you know, Camden likes to wear temporary tattoos on his left forearm of Thomas the Tank Engine. He doesn’t have one on now which leads to some of the confusion you’ll see. And of course as soon as I stopped recording, he immediately pointed out his eyes for me.

Go figure That’s what makes him so much fun. He’s one of a few people that can make every day a great one.

This morning Camden learned to deal with death, loss and similar emotions.

He also became a killer as he dismembered Captain Feathersword, a former Wiggles character and popup book surprise…

You’ll be missed, Captain.

Here is a video journal of the past week spent with Camden. I’ve included footage from our trip to the beach last weekend as well as our trip to the Southwick Zoo. Earlier tonight I also recorded some video while Camden was playing in the tub and taking his nightly bath.

I had a really tough time finding a song this video and I’m still not sure this fits well at all. I ended up settling on Rascal Flatts cover of Tom Cochran’s Life is a Highway because of the song’s use in Disney / Pixar’s Cars… Which of course is a Camden favorite.

Check out the ending. Camden’s not always sunshine and giggles.

Mess Maker, Mess Maker… Make me a mess!

Thanks for the peaches, Mom. Really. Are you coming over to wash my floors now, too?
