Cam: It's ok Baby Zo Zo.  We here.

Picked Cam up from daycare right as school-aged kids were getting off the school bus and he was very upsets that he didn't get to ride the school bus too.  Called my parents to report on the kids' day.

Cam: (hysterically crying)

Dad: What's wrong with my grandson?

Cam: (hysterical crying)

Me: He wanted to get on the school bus so he's not very happy right now.

Cam: (stops crying) Yes, I am!

Talking about best friends.

Cam: Mommy, you my best friend.

Me: (speechless because my heart skipped a beat and then melted) I am?!!!

Cam: Yeah!  And Bastian my best friend.  And Amber my best friend.  And Maddy my best friend.

Me: 

In the elevator at the hotel in Hawaii, a Japanese woman bent down and spoke to him in Japanese.

If we were ever in the elevator alone.

Cam: There are no peoples in here.

In Hawaii and continuing his fascination with cities.
