It’s Cameron’s turn for the birthday treatment. My charming little guy turns 8 today plus he’s my 2nd child which means I can still get away with a top 10 list! (See how I did that? Brilliant I tell you.:)

Here’s 10 of my favourite things about  Cameron showcased with photos from our year of travel together.

Happy Birthday Cammy D.

1. He’s  smart

Smart Cam

He’s smart. So smart. Books and streets. You can’t fool this kid; he knows how to work Google

He’s curious about everything.

2. He’s funny

Always has been. He loves to laugh and has one of those giggles that is infectious.  Hearing him laugh in the morning can keep me smiling all day long.

3. He’s a phenomenal athlete.

Scouts: You need to watch this kid. He hasn’t met a sport he can’t conquer and when he’s in the water he’s a fish.

You don’t know how deep the water is? You don’t know what’s in it? Perfect place to dive in head first. That’s my Cam

 

 

4. He loves to cook

At every lesson we took during our travels Cam was front and centre.  He asked questions about what we were doing and then was first in line as taste tester.

5. He loves animals

No matter how big. No matter how bad their breath is.

6. He does NOT lack personality

7. He makes my firstborn part of a dynamic duo

I love what he brings to their relationship. Ying and Yang those two.

He joined forces with my first born to create a dynamic duo.

8. He’s a lover not a fighter

If you’re smaller than him, he’s there for you. If you need help, he’s your guy. I’ve seen him walk away from a group of friends to make sure someone else was included too. He’s a kind soul.

9. He wears his heart on his sleeve

This kid has no poker face. If he’s happy, you see it. If he’s surprised, you see it. And on those rare occasions when he is worried or concerned that’s there too.

10.  The Kid Can’t take a bad picture

Bad for a mom trying to choose 10 for a post but fantastic for memory keeping. ;)indian prince cam
