Yikes!!!

Well I felt yesterday's events were blog worthy so here it goes...

Well I guess the day really started at 2:00am when Cameron came into our room wanting Daddy to cuddle with him. We returned Cameron to his room where he slept until 6:30.

So we got up got the kids some breakfast had our cups of much needed coffee.

At 8am we all walked in the rain to the church to collect all the sound equipment needed for Peavey Lecture hall. (if your inquisitive as to why I can explain that another time)

So the kids in their jammies and Mike and I were busy at church. Nothing out of the ordinary just busy.

At 9:15 we ran home(still raining) I jumped in the shower and Mike got the kids dressed. 9:45 the kids and I were back out the door heading to church(walking in the rain again) off to Sunday School Mike stayed back to shower and get ready for church.

So I dropped the kids off and went back to Peavey. I ran to get a mic from the sanctuary where I ran into Someone that informed me People were looking for me because Cameron had thrown up in the 2's and 3's. I ran down stairs to find Cameron crying on his teachers lap. Pastor Tom cleaning up a huge throw up mess on the floor. So I took Cameron with me over to Peavey where I tried to get ahold of Mike who of course didn't answer the phone.

So now I'm in a dilema I gotta get Cameron home, get Sadie which Jes said she would take care of Sadie but I felt I needed to tell the nursery that was what was happening so that if something happened to Sadie they would know who to contact... That brought me to the conclusion I better just go get her. Thankfully I was relieved of any service reponsibilities so I didn't have to worry about that.

Well I run back over to the church and just as I was approaching the nursery door. Cameron starts throwing up again. ALL over my jacket and all over me(thankfully not in the nursery) I run to the bathroom where he throws up all over the Ladies room floor. So naturally two friends come to the rescue. (Thanks Sharon and Amie) They help me clean it up or at least cover it up until a mop can be retrieved. Amie grabbed Sadie for me and poor Cameron is crying over the toilet Saying "I not want to stay at the toilet." Of course two Sr. ladies enter the bathroom I just let them know to look out for the mess and of course say I'm soo sorry. Well Sharon and I grab my kids and off we go to Greet Mike at the MGR. So the four of us walk home in the rain.

Cameron did end up getting a fever, but no seizures. He did throw up several more times that afternoon and evening but we made it through another crazy "mikey" johnston family moment.

Honest and Yet Creative!!

I discussed Cameron in my last blog and how honest he was about mommies Cleaning habits.

Now while he is very honest he is also creative.

So before church I run into Cameron's Sunday School teachers and this is is what they shared with me.

The class was reviewing what happened to Joseph in the story from the weeks before and Cameron perks up and says.. "I know Joseph was thrown into a hole." His teachers were quite impressed with his memory but found his next statement to be quite amusing. "My mommy throws me into a hole."

First I must say, "thank goodness his sunday school Teachers are my friends."

Secondly, This is why Cameron is not in preschool yet. His file would be a mile long with his creativity and story telling.

Lastly I can only conclude that this was Cameron's way of expressing sympathy (cause I can assure you I have NEVER thrown my child into a hole. ) Putting himself in Joseph's shoes. And that was the only way he knew how to express it. Maybe I'm over analyzing but I hope that if that's the case sympathy and empathy are wonderful qualities for my little boy to have. But until he can really express that I can only imagine the stories he's gonna come up with.
It is kind of funny when you think about it.

Too honest!!!

I'm not quite sure what this says about my mothering/wife skills but here's how the afternoon went.

While my children were playing with Mike this afternoon I was busy cleaning... wiping down the bathroom, sweeping the floor, picking up toys (even had Sadie take some straggling toys back to the play room)

Well while I was busy at work Cameron says...
"Mommy you cleaning? Whose coming over?"

The sad part was I was cleaning cause a sitter was coming over for a little bit. My son has me down like a book. I do most cleaning when someone is coming over!! What kind of mom am I??? What am I teaching my kids.

So the story doesn't end there. When the baby sitter comes to the house.

Cameron says, "We clean the house so you can come over"
So not only does he know me well but then he has to rat me out!!! Nice!!!

It's only just begun!!!

This a really old picture...
So I'm thinking that it may be time to stop the duo baths that my little boy Cameron and my daughter Sadie have been participating in. (OF course there is a story why)

So last night after giving my children a bath Cameron was watching me put on Sadie's Diaper something that he has seen me do probably thousands of times. Well on this particular evening Cameron was very curious. He came to observe this very common occurrence and declared

"Sadie not have a penis??"

I responded with... "No Sadie does not..."

To which he then responded "Why Sadie not have a penis? What is it?"

Can I just say while yes we are using proper terminology with our son I wasn't quite ready to introduce the correct terminology for girls.

So I responded with a "Well Sadie is a girl so she doesn't have a penis and that is how God made her."

Luckly he was satisfied with that answer.

Then Today...
Cameron's friend Jaydon started school. And so I was telling Cameron that Jaydon's new classroom was where I taught before he(cameron) was born.

Then I mistakenly said
"Yea, Cameron, I was a teacher in that room when you were in my tummy!!"

As Cameron responds very with a very cute question
"Mommy did you gobble me up?!!"

But this is not over.
His friend Jaydon yells to Professor Ranstrom... "I went to school today!!!"
And Cameron yells equally as loud... "I was in my mommy's tummy!!!"
He then continues to tell everyone he sees this new found information that he has just received.

Oh brother it has only just begun. I can't believe I've hit this stage of curiosity... However they do make some cute stories that I can totally use against him when he is a teenager and brings a girl home!!
