I spent most of yesterday working on the pond and although Camron was gone for most of the day, I kept thinking about putting up the tools before he showed up and started using them, especially the 6' step ladder that I had on the berm so I could trim the trees. Every time I walked by it, I thought "I need to move that or he will be climbing it". About 5 PM I turned a corner and Camron was sitting on the top step of the ladder. He immediately got down and came over to show me his collection of new items. He had a new alien (from the Alien Store) and two new phrases that he used many times.
For example, he has a new friend named Adriana who seems seriously different, but "Don't Worry". She will be moving in with him because her parents told her she should live anywhere she wanted to when she turns 6, which just happened. She came over yesterday when I wasn't around to choose which tree she is going to build her treehouse in, and to try out the paddle shoes and rocket thrusters that she invented (she walked across the surface of our pond). She has a 40' science lab and has also invented an accelerated growth spray that might not be good for the garden, but "Don't Worry", Camron intends to keep her locked in his room most of the time until we pick all of the vegetables. I asked why he would want someone around who he has to watch so closely and he said it wasn't his fault, his mother has already signed the documents with the President and now she has to live here, but "Don't Worry", he can control her. When I asked why such a science genius could be such a brat he said "don't ask me, ask Adriana. She is the one who does those things". When he saw that I wasn't real excited about a 6 year old mad scientist bringing her experiments here he said "Don't Worry. I'll keep her handcuffed to me at all times." I feel better now.
