You want to buy a rock?







Cameron is quite determined when he puts his mind to something and this sure is a great example.
One Sunday afternoon he was outside with Stacey and he decided to collect rocks and sell them. The rocks are mostly broken up pieces of concrete, but Cameron was determined to make a go of it. Stacey and Cameron made a sign that read, Rock Store and an Open sign. He stayed outside for 4.5 hours refusing a snack to sell his rocks.
Little did we know, but Cameron had decided not to sit outside and wait for people, but to go to people. He knocked on people's doors and asked them if they wanted to buy a rock. He also asked people as they were walking if they wanted to buy a rock.
The funny thing is that someone actually gave Cameron 100 Tenge (about $1) for a rock. Cameron has so excited that it just fueled his excitement.
Cameron also convinced younger kids to go and collect more rocks while Cameron manned the shop.
After the weekend was over he collected about 300 Tenge (which is about 3 months worth of chores). The next day he rolled out of bed and told Stacey with his eyes half opened that he wanted to sell lemonade today. Get your money ready because who knows what he will think of next.
