True Confessions...

I should have know something was up this afternoon when Cameron didn't rush outside to play. He was all ready to build "Botar", not an easy feat mind you, and spent an hour in his room gathering up all the pieces before settling in front of the directions on the computer. Even a pack of little boys at the door couldn't persuade him to go out. Hmmmmmm.

He did a great job of building and was really proud of himself that he didn't get frustrated or cry like he did the first time he tried to build this guy. It's 63 pages of really intense directions. The first time it took him two days, and today it was just an hour and 45 minutes. Have I mentioned he's going to be our engineer?

So the confession came around dinner time:
Cam: Mom, you know how I was catching all those frogs yesterday? Well, I don't feel so good.

Me: What's wrong?

Cam: Well, I just feel sick. I've been sneezing all day, my nose is running, and I just don't feel good.

Me: And you think the frogs made you sick? Sweetie, Daddy woke up with a cold on Sunday. I think he must have shared it with you.

Cam: So I can still catch frogs? Oh, thank goodness!

The relief was so much I think he was visibly two inches taller.



And yes, that's the thermometer under his arm. He wasn't kidding. He really is sick.
Cam's really awesome Bionicle- Botar.
