New Year's Eve was an extremely low-key event for us.  We were trying to get Dex used to a bottle in preparation for going to daycare so we decided to stay at home to make it easier to stick with the program.  We let Cam stay up all the way til midnight... EST.  We watched the ball drop in New York at 9pm and then we all went to sleep shortly after.

Earlier in the day, Sara said to Cameron "it's New Year's Eve Cameron, what should we do to make it special?"  It was a rhetorical question, but Cam spent a few seconds thinking about it and replied "Um, how bout cake?" to which Sara said "that's a good idea Cameron!" and it was indeed a good idea, something we would not have thought of.

Cam was obviously pleased with himself - he spent the next few minutes saying "good idea Cameron"  :)

Cam loves the zoo, during the Christmas break we talked about the zoo often and Cam got all excited to visit the zoo.  We finally ended up going but on our way there it started to drizzle and by the time we got to the zoo it was completely raining.  We didn't want to walk around in the rain so we said to Cam "it's raining Cameron, we can't go to the zoo" to which he replied "use umbrella!"  Can't really counter with anything so Sara and I were quiet.  A few seconds later Cam follows up with "use hat!"  More undeniable logic from our two year old.  Seriously, this kid, he's gotta stop having such good responses.

We couldn't really counter with anything but didn't want to walk in the rain, so went with Diversion Tactic #1: "Cam, let's go home and watch a movie!" and he excitedly replied "okay!"  It never fails.  :)
