Valentine's Day came early this year for Cameron. On the 3rd he just had to get flowers for his little friend. Cameron has really been into giving gifts to people lately. Practically every other day he takes small "gifts" to his teacher. He's always wanting to deliver these tokens of friendship promptly, so ALL day I heard how he needs to give her a present. "And girls like flowers," he kept telling me. For the first time, I truly wished there were dandelions in the yard! None to be seen after a cold, snowy, frosty winter! So I tried to get him to draw some flowers. Nope. Not good enough. Then I suggested he make some out of his hand prints. No way he was budging! It had to be real flowers.
I decided that I indeed needed to go to the store for provisions for dinner. I explained that he could chose one flower. Well, turns out Laurel wanted one too as we began to look at the roses (All they had! Where are the daises?! We are going for friendship here!!!!) I decided on buying the 3 on sale instead of 2 individual because it worked out cheaper. Then Laurel got a pretty rose and Cameron's friend got a small bouquet with 2 roses. By the way, Cameron has good taste in flowers. He's off to a good start with the ladies. As we neared the little girl's house I remembered that I forgot the camera. (Arrr.) But when they opened the door the girl's mom was taking pictures (which I keep forgetting to get). Cameron handed the flowers to her and said, "Here." Then he just started to walk away. We pulled him in for a few more pictures and a gracious, "Thanks," from his friend.
A few days later we had her ride the Kindergarten bus home with Cameron. They played so well together, but close to the time she was to leave they came down the hall dressed like this scooting around together on a Laurel's pink pony. I asked, "What 'ca doin'?" "We're going to the airport to go to pretend Hawaii to get pretend married in the temple!" Smile #1. Smile #2. "Oh!??" I said. Then Laurel was jealous, so they dressed her up too so that she could be the officiator of the wedding. What was I to do? So I grabbed the camera. Love at 5? I'd say he's got an earlier start than I, but maybe by the time he actually does get married in the temple to a girl, he will be well trained on how to treat a lady.
So just an FYI: Both love birds have been spoken to about not kissing anyone not in their REAL family. They never did, but they said they were going to "pretend kiss." We didn't have time for that, thank goodness!
