It's true. No matter your circumstances, odds are good that someone else wrote a little ditty that describes them (you can count on Weird Al for melodic summaries of really bizarre events). And, if perchance, someone hasn't provided the proper lyrics for you, then if you're like Dan, you just change the words to some catchy tune. I realized I've started doing this for Camden during the day, following Dan's example. Because Camden loves it when you sing. (Even if you sing badly. Which I frequently do.) Here are some of the songs we sing:
Camden Eli is So Great (to Camptown Races)
Consider the Camden in My Arms (definitely not as beautiful as the MoTab's arrangement Consider the Lilies)
Goodnight, My Camden (Camden loves stuff from the Music Man and he usually falls asleep to this adaptation of a great classic)
Baby Drool (perhaps not as flattering as Baby Doll, but it's such a frequent occurrence it really should be noted)
When Camden went to Take a Nap (adapted from the Primary's When Joseph Went to Bethlehem)
Don't Cry for Me, Camden Eli (Evita needs some adjustment to be age appropriate for our boy)
Puke on My Shoulder Makes me Happy (thanks to John Denver)
Camden has discovered the joy of books. He is so his mother's son!

Your little boy is so handsome! I love that pic of him in his seat with his great big smile. I'm up for a betrothal! Camden's going to be a great guy with you and Dan as his parents. By the way, I was thinking we need to meet up again at you parents house. That was so much fun! When do they come home?
hey guys! He is so dang cute! Just wish I was around to see him growing up! It's amazing how fast they change when you're not around to see it happening! Hope all is well with you guys! We sure miss game nights. Come see us so we can play! :)
