Was it really a little girl?

I ended up taking Cami to the doctor today...she wasn't feeling well and we'll be going to NY tomorrow and I wanted to make sure she'd be okay for the trip. Cami has been up since 4 this morning and hasn't napped. We are sitting in the waiting room (this is after Cami told the receptionist that she thought she had bugs in her ears), and a couple walks in w/ a little kid. Mind you Cami is laying in my lap a little out of it. There are a few other kids in the room waiting to be seen, all of them quiet except for the occasional cough. This "new kid" that came in the room "disrupted" the quiet time and was running up and down and making a lot of noise. This kiddo has a mullet, Transformer sneakers on, jeans, an orange monkey shirt, and a plush Tonka Truck that also made noise. The couple comes and sits next to Cami and I and the kid is running back and forth in front of us. This is what happened next:

Cami: (looking up at me) That's a cute little boy
Me: (Smiling and trying not to be sarcastic about this unruly child) Yeah!
Kid's Mom: Uh, that's not a boy! Her name is Emilia, she's a girl!
Cami: No, I think it's a boy!!!
Kid's Mom: No, she's a little girl
Cami: (Now w/ more "firmness" in her voice) No, I'm a girl and I'm wearing pink and that is a BOY!!!
All the other parents in the room started to snicker....I knew we were ALL in shock to find out that Emilia was not Emilio!!!

At this point I know my child is NOT going to back down! I half smiled at the other mom and gently covered Cami's eyes and told her to roll over and take a quick nap before the Dr. called her back. Thank you Lord she did w/ no resistance!!!!

Little Miss Talks Too Much

We went out for a quick meal....

Waitress: What would you like to drink?
Cami: Sweet tea please....ewww no lemon, I don't like lemon
Waitress: Me either
Cami: (thinking they have now bonded) Hi, I'm Cami...that's C-A-M-I! Some people call me Cami Palos, Mami calls me her big baby!
We all just busted out laughing! Thanks Cami!
