A Strange Fascination

Lately, Camilla has had a strange fascination with her Daddy's dress shoes.  She loves to put them on and clunk around the house in them.  It looks hilarious seeing as they are like 10 sizes too big! It will entertain her for hours though! She's growing way too fast for me! She learns new words almost daily now.  She also likes to repeat things that we say.  When we play Mario Kart on the Wii, she'll often be right in their with us cheering and yelling.  It's pretty hilarious. I was trying to get her to stay in bed the other night, and I said "That's enough Camilla" and she looked up at me and said in a very serious voice " 'nuf". Today she used the word "mess" a lot.  She brought me into the living room and pointed to the couch saying "mess". I looked and her snack was spilled all over the couch.  We also had another lovely grocery shopping experience.  I love grocery shopping, but it's not as fun with a grumpy kid.  Today was one of those days. A few months ago, she chucked the sour cream from the cart and it splattered on the floor.  Today, she decided mayo would be fun.  I'm glad they put mayo in plastic containers now, although, the lid shattered when it
hit the floor.  Next thing I knew, she was pointing to the ground saying "mess". Shopping is a disaster... We went to find someone to tell them, and the "clean up in aisle 3" announcement was made.  We quickly finished up our shopping with a very rickety old cart. Camilla really doesn't weigh that much, but I was pretty sure by the time I hit the dairy section that my cart was going to break down mid-aisle.  We finally made it through the check out with Camilla neighing like a horse very loud and energetically the whole time. My cart barely made it out the door, and then I looked at the snow packed, bumpy parking lot I had to brave.  I gently pushed the old cart to the car, almost losing the wheels, praying the whole time to make it just to the car! Thankfully, we made it, loaded up, and went home.  Camilla munched out on baby cookies, grapes, strawberries, and cheese for lunch and then went for a nice long nap.  Although the shopping was stressful, it's always worth it. Camilla loves to help and be a part of everything and it's fun to watch her learn and grow. I know it won't be the last time I hear a "clean up in aisle....." but hopefully it won't be for a while....
