FEARLESS



Ok, so most of you reading this know my sweet, innocent, and somewhat timid Mackenzie. Always hesitant to try something new, always asks permission, and always wants mommy by her side. Not the case with Cameron. This kid is going to be the death of me! Here's an example (on the cantelope/ranch day) - I left the room for maybe 30 seconds to get something (probably more ranch) and I come back to find him standing on his booster seat flicking the light on and off. Oh, he was also trying to pull a picture off the wall. This kid is fearless! He climbs, jumps, runs, throws, and all the other 'boy' stuff that I'm not used to! You should see him on the playground - again, fearless. He goes across every part of any playstructure and was trying to cross a rope bridge the other day. He loves going on the big kid swings - even after he fell of of one - he screamed because I wouldn't let him go back on it (luckily he's still so tiny that he can't get on to everything by himself just yet.) The funny thing, though, is that he has a mean case of seperation anxiety at the same time - he's so self assured in his physical abilities, but is not quite ready to let go of mommy and daddy. The way he handles it is yet another difference between he and Mackenzie - she would cry and be sooo sad when we were leaving her - Cameron screams and holds our legs in a death grip so that we can't leave :)
