Sunday Comedy

Cameron has been know by select groups in our ward for his funny sayings and comedic timing. These groups were the leaders in nursery who spent 2 hours with him every Sunday and my YW who would hear stories, sit near us in sacrament or pass us in the halls.
But since moving up into Primary, his audience has really grown.
The first Sunday my friend tells me how they were having all the teachers tell a little about themselves to the whole primary.
One teacher was telling as story about their childhood.
This individual said, "when I was 3" and Cameron immediately pipped up and said, "3 like me! I'm 3!"


Today I was walking the halls with Avery and one of the Jr. Primary teachers stops me and asks if anyone had told me what Cameron had said during opening exercises.
I hadn't heard so I was a little nervous about what he had said.
His favorite movie is Despicable Me so you are never quite sure what he might say. :)
Well every Sunday in Primary they spotlight one child.
It is really cute how they do it.
All the lights are turned off and the leader waves a flashlight around the room while reading,
Spotlight
spot bright
spot a child choosing the right.
Search this room all around
a special child must be found.
Find a girl
find a boy
find a child filled with joy.
All God's children are precious and dear
but today the spotlight stops here! (pointing the light at the child who they will spotlight)


Today when they got to the phrase "find a child filled with joy" Cameron shouted out
"ME! I'M FILLED WITH JOY!"
His teacher then leaned over and told him he wasn't the spotlight today.
When the lights were turned back on Cameron looked like this.....




Another funny happening while at church today.
During Sacrament Meeting I took Cameron with me to go change Avery's diaper.
In the mother's room the speaker was on and the person speaking in sacrament was telling the story of Jonah.
I said, "Cameron this is the story about Jonah getting swallowed by the whale."
He was staring up at the speaker on the ceiling.
The "voice" would say a few sentences and then pause.
Cameron would then look up at it and ask, "Why"?
A few more words from the speaker.
Another "why" from Cameron. A few more sentences and a few more whys from Cameron.
Then came the part where Jonah is swallowed by a big fish and Cameron looks up at the speaker and says, "my mom said that".
By this point I was done changing Avery and told him it was time to go so he looked up at the speaker one last time and said, "Bye, I have to go now."
It was pretty funny and sweet to see this interaction between Cameron and a speaker in a ceiling in the ladies restroom. So I am not sure if he thinks there is some guy up in the ceiling now or what.

A Conversation With Cameron

I had done something that made Eric roll his eyes.
I laughed as he left the room.
Times like this we will often tell the other one how much they love us.
Cameron was in the kitchen with me and I smiled and said, "Daddy loves me."
Cameron: I love you too!
Me: Awww, thanks bud, I love you too!
Cameron: I think your beautiful.
Me: Awww, you think I'm beautiful?
Cameron: Yes.
Me: I think you are handsome.
Cameron: I think you are pretty.
Me: I think you are cute.
Cameron: I think you are sweet (looks down at his lunch) like ...like .... jello!
I burst into laughter.
