I got a new book for Christmas called, "So you want to Raise a Boy" by W. Cleon Skousen. I started off from the very beginning and read for a while (I like to read cover to cover and not skip around) but this is the kind of book you skip around! I went straight to the "4 year old" to gain some insight into my little boy who is becoming already a little man! (More of that in a moment). The passage I liked best explaining the 4 year old is "for the moment he has more speed than direction". So true, so true... and this has given much cause for prayerful parenting!
Now for my little man. He has always been protective of me, his mother, but I have seen it increase during my pregnancy. Here are some of the things that make him my little man!
1. He gets the door and holds it open for Carolyn and I at church. (Brett drives seperately at a different time.)
2. When there is frost on my windshield and I am up on my new van trying to reach it around a huge belly, he says, "Mom, you shouldn't have to do this, Dad should. Go get him and have him do it".
3. When Brett is away at work, Cameron tells me that "he is stonger than me right now because I have the babies and he will take care of me and Carolyn while Daddy is gone." And then he procedes to do a lot of things for us!

That is the cutest thing I've ever heard! What a good little son and brother he is!
I have that same book and I love it. It has really helped me understand that my 8 year old is normal and so is my 3 year old for that matter. I skip around all the time too when I read the book. I recommend the book to all my friends with boys.
Way to go Cameron! He is a great little man.
So sweet!! You just let him do it all. We need more men like that!! That book seems good. I may have to borrow that!
You must be loving the new van:)
