When Cameron is into something, he’s really into it. He loves Star Wars Legos. He loves playing it on the Will. He loves playing with real Legos and creating all kinds of ships. He can seriously spend hours tinkers with his rocket ships and little Lego men. So after he went to the movie Where The Wild Things Are, I knew he’d get excited. The book is great. He and his dad say the movie was awesome. (I couldn’t go since his sister is too young for that movie)

Fast forward a week after he saw the movie and we were at a craft store. He got to play with Crayola’s Model Magic clay at school and he was dying to get some of his own. It had to be white because he knew you can draw on it with marker. So when we brought it home, he decided to create characters from the movie. I don’t remember all of the names, but you can obviously tell which one is Max if you’ve ever read the book.

Along with creative moments, Cameron is REALLY digging math. He has the task of taking numbers each day at school and creating interesting math equations to come up with that number. So 59 could be 10×10-60+10+9. While Cameron has played with numbers he’s really starting to understand multiplication. We’re not talking multiplication tables that you memorize. I’m talking multiplication that makes sense to him. His understanding of numbers just amazes me. Another amazing thing: piano. He asked to start taking piano lessons and he has yet to complain about it. He even memorized his first song: Ode To Joy. I’m so proud. I even caught a little moment in one of his piano lessons where he got to play a little and see how a piano works.

I didn’t even get into how Cam is playing soccer and starting to really get focused on how he kicks and throws the ball. It’s like he’s just discovering a little bit more of his inner focus… It makes me quite proud.
