Daddy's shoulders

For the longest time Cameron refused to sit on Brian's shoulders. You can see the struggle in the very beginning of the video where he crosses his legs. Cameron finally gave in and he just loves riding on Brian's shoulders.

Outside

The tropical storm we experienced was pretty mild here in Prairieville. It didn't really flood just a lot of wind and a bit of rain oh and it left thousands of sticks in my yard. Thanks for that last part. My kid has tasted them all. There is no such thing as reasoning with a 14 month old as to why he cannot go outside. This is his reaction. No, my first instinct during a temper tantrum is not to run and get the camera, but I was hoping he would stop crying and go for the camera. At this point I had tried toys, food, drinks and even money (notice the checkbook in the first video) This is a very mild temper tantrum, but it paints the picture.

Would this be considered an eating disorder?

Big deal. It's a ripped book. Oh no, this comes with an explanation. Cameron reads Goodnight NOLA religiously. I read it to him. Then he "reads" it aloud back to me. The word "read" is used loosely because I can't understand his mixture of German and Hebrew. The majority of it sounds like this, "Yuck ah, yuck ah, yuck ah, da." A translator would be helpful. Back to the explanation...in case you haven't noticed, my child loves food. He is also not picky about the appearance or freshness of the food. The willpower just isn't there with Cameron. He finally caved and started giving in to the praline. It started with just a lick, which isn't all that unusual since all items are sampled first. Then he bent the page to see if the praline would fit in his mouth. The taste must have been just right because he ripped the praline out of the book and shoved it in his mouth. This was all I salvaged from his hunger attack. No, I haven't found the top half of the praline, which may explain the constipation Cameron's been having.
