Evening Adventures

Camden doesn't slow down. She's always up to something around the living room in the evening. Her latest obsession is socks. She'll take my socks off of my feet and put them on hers. Then she'll take them off, put them on, take them off, put them on....over and over and over...and throw multiple mini-fits when a sock is difficult to get on or off. Seriously, she'll do it for hours. She does look like a cute soccer star in them, though.

I didn't get a picture of it, but she's also obsessed with covering her dolls and animals up with blankets. At various points in the evening, our living room floor is littered with 5-10 creatures covered in kitchen towels, bath towels, sheets, and the curtain from her kitchen sink. Again, she'll spend hours covering and uncovering and making sure the blankets are just right. The room actually looks a little like a morgue since they are completely covered. You definitely have to watch where you step.

She also likes to sit on her table and make faces at me. Or sit at her table and eat blue deebidees.

She does not limit her tantrums to socks, either. This one involved trying to open the finger nail clippers that just won't cooperate (before I took them away). In reality, she doesn't throw too many tantrums. She's fairly even tempered, but we are seeing the 2's coming out a little every day as she tries to become more and more independent and competent at navigating life.

Poor little Camden:( It's tough learning that life does not always go along the way that you want it to-but that's one of life's greatest lessons:) In reality most well adjusted humans don't get to do every single thing they desire!
