Mr. Independent

One of the things I love (and sometimes hate) is the fact that Cameron is SO independent. Because he is our first child we are not really for sure what a kid "should" know how to do at just 18 months. But I honestly sometimes say to myself "Really, I can't believe he thinks he can do this on his own". For example, today we went to visit Nana and Auntie Margaret and when we got there Nana was cleaning up McKenzie's old tricycle for Cameron. I was excited because Cameron rides a little bike at school (a plastic one) and this was his first time on a real tricycle. Well of course Cameron thought he could pedal AND steer the bike on his own. In fact he didn't even want anyone to put their hands on the handle bars with him. Obviously we had to help him (you will notice his little legs don't even really touch the pedals) but he had a BALL.

Once we FINALLY got him off the tricycle it was on to the wagon. First Cameron thought he could pull the wagon on his own (see video) and once we put him in the wagon he did not want to get out! Poor Nana and Auntie Margaret - he wore them out!
