Uncle Cameron

Stephen has been a little obsessed with Uncle Cameron since we've been home. I think it's because Cameron downloaded a few really fun app's on his iphone that both Stephen and Gordon enjoyed playing with.

One morning while in AZ, Stephen and I got up earlier than Uncle Cameron. I was talking with my mom when I realized that I hadn't seen Stephen in a few minutes. I went looking for him and found him running past me as fast as his little legs would go. I ran after him and found out why he was running. He had been sneaky - he went downstairs, found Cameron's iphone and swiped it. When I caught up to him he said, "Cameron! Cameron!" and handed the phone back to me.

Two mornings later I found Stephen sitting very quietly in an overstuffed chair. I wondered what he was playing with. When I came up to him I noticed he had Cameron's laptop on his lap. He was stroking the top of it very gently saying, "Cameron, Cameron" in a little whisper. Hilarious.

Now when he sees a laptop he always says, "Cameron k'puter." Which is funny because his parents are on laptops all the time but it's all Cameron now.

The other day I heard him singing a song to himself. (He does this quite often - it makes me laugh. I always thought it was a little girl thing to make up songs - I guess not.) Anyway, while singing this particular song he would periodically say, "Cameron." So I guess it was a song all about Uncle Cameron. I couldn't make out the other words so I don't know what else about Cam he was thinking.

Sometimes he comes to me with a cell phone asking to call Cameron. So I guess Cameron has hit favorite uncle status - and it didn't take much on his part ;)
