One of Camden's Best Friends!

One of Camden's closest little friends is Anna. They have known each other for most of their lives. They are now at the point where they really "play" together, have conversations, get in trouble together and NOT fight over toys and actually share. A play date is a play date not a fight date where mom has to referee every other ten minutes.

These two love to watch each other play their leapsters. They sat on the couch together playing and sharing this game for about an hour the other day. I wish Camden could get a long with his sister like this.
Don't get me wrong, they do have their moments and do get in trouble occasionally. Today I asked them to not do something several times. A few minutes later I heard one of them say, "Let's do it anyway." Well, the other followed along and they both got busted. Nose to the wall for four minutes and apologies to me and to each other for making the other make bad choices. (Disclaimer: Anna's mom is aware of the nose-to-the-wall punishment.)

After our bad choice moment, these two played with play dough for an hour and a half! It was wonderful peace and no interruptions and entertaining to listen to their sweet conversations. They are both very kind to each other. One of their regular and favorite activities to do at Camden's house is to get story books, climb in the bath tub, close the curtain and read to each other. Again another hour of fun! We love our Anna. Thanks for being Camden's friend.
(More friends to come. Camden is lucky to have another friend named Hannah. He loves his girls!)

Friends forever...maybe they'll get married!! I think you should have a pre-arranged marriage.

she told me that she was going to marry camden and that he was going to be a doctor and she was going to also be a doctor but stay home.

you're right - it has been more fun now that they play instead of fight. i never really thought about it.
