This Almost Teenager...and Noah and Ava



Isn't the stereotype that teenagers rebel? That they do strange things, wear strange clothes, try so hard to be nonconformists (along with all of their friends that are doing exactly the same thing)? Well, that's not Cameron. Yes, he does have his own path he follows, but in general he's a pretty easy to get along with guy. So how to explain this...

Cameron has a lead role in the school play and a key aspect of the character is that he has red hair. We couldn't find a red wig and wasn't time to get one sent over, so Cameron gamely volunteered to go "ginger" as they call it here. No, it's not temporary--he spent a couple hours having his hair bleached before coloring it red. After the play he'll cut it shorter and eventually probably get tired of it and we'll color it back to his natural color. The guy with Cameron is Ali, who did the work. He's very "colorful" himself (you can't see the blue streak in his hair) and yes, he was coloring his white dog pink. Going to Ali is always lots of fun. He's got lots of dogs and cats and parrots and lots of funny stories.











Noah and Ava celebrated their birthdays at the pool today with pizzas, cake, swimming, and lots of friends. She got a sunburn and he's baked with exhaustion, so all in all, I'd call it successful!

My first thought was of Cameron's uncle. I guess it doesn't matter really if it was just because or for a reason :)
