No Pop Pop. It's Salsarita's...

Ok. This is going to be tough. I started trying to pay attention today to all of the things that Camryn was doing and saying so that I could put them into this entry, and by the time she was up for a half hour, there were already too many things to remember. So I am going to attempt the highlights...

Today is Monday and Mondays are Pop Pop days. Camryn goes with Pop Pop to McDonald's for breakfast (where on the way there, she informed him that she wanted to eat eggs, biscuits, yogurt with blueberries and strawberries and pancakes -- and she did eat every bite of it). After that, they usually go to the Library for Story Time, but since it was a holiday, the Library was closed. (Yesterday she informed me that "Tomorow is a holiday. Tomorrow all the schools are closed. Tomorrow is Columbus time." This she got from Daddy, as he was telling me earlier in the day that they didn't get off tomorrow because it was a holiday LIKE Columbus day. She then proceeded to tell me that "Cole's name is Columbus. Miss Dreya's Cole." And she is right. Miss Dreya was her art teacher at Gymboree and is now a nanny for a little boy named Cole. At least a month ago, Miss Dreya mentioned that she found out that Cole's full name was Columbus and Camryn, of course, remembered the conversation and brought it up.)

Back to Pop Pop time...instead of the Library, they went to the Inflatable Wonderland at the Mall and played for awhile. When they were going to meet us at lunch, Pop Pop said they were going to meet us at Salsalito's. Camryn said "No Pop Pop. It's called Salsarita's." Again, she's right.

Skip to the end of the day.

Camryn was going pee-pee on the big potty (wow...I can't believe I just typed that phrase) and I rubbed her legs because she didn't have any clothes on and I was afraid that she was cold. She said "Mommy's hands are hot. Mommy be very careful with Camryn. Be very careful with Mommy's hot hands." Then she told me to "Blow on them before you touch Camryn." So I did.

Getting ready for bed, she gave me a blow-by-blow of her evening with Pop Pop and G-Mama. They took her back to the bouncy place after dinner (where she ate her weight in Edimame at Mama Fu's....with chopsticks, mind you). She told me how "Camryn went up and down the escalator. Camryn went on the big slides at the bouncy place." She also told me that "Camryn cried at the red slide. G-Mama said when Camryn is older Camryn can go on the red slide. G-Mama said when Camryn and Connor and Kaiden (her cousins) are older, Camryn and Connor and Kaiden can all go on the red slide." I asked my mom about it and she said "She's right." (Big surprise there.) She said that Camryn wanted to go on it but wasn't big enough so she cried for a second, then as soon as G-Mama explained to her that she could go on it when she was older, and the boys too (Connor and Kaiden), she was OK with it.
