Today's little quirps

Recent CW stories.........

He was in the living room with Jared while I was getting ready in the bedroom.  He wanted to eat cheerios, with milk, in the living room.  Jared sat down with him and was feeding them to him.  Caden wanted to do it himself (suprise!!), and Jared told him that he couldnt' do it himself, the milk might spill.  Three seconds later I hear this kid running down the hallway, crying his little lungs out.....

He appeared around the corner and hysterically exclaimed "Dadda, no, me cheesh (cheerios), no (pointing at self) me, my dadda...." 

I think he was taddling on Jared, that he wouldn't let him eat the Cherios himself, haha.  Too funny.


Caden was very upset the other day that I didn't have shoes "sooce" to put on the dogs.  Sorry, buddy.


ME: "Caden, who's having a baby??"
CW: "T!!" (What he calls my sister)
ME: "Are you going to love the baby?"
CW: "Yah...."
ME: "Will you be nice to the baby?"
CW: "No!!"  "NO!"
ME: "Are you going to help with the ba...."  (Couldn't finish the question...Caden was covering my mouth and shouting "No!"......oops, we've got some work to do :)).


One day we went and got the mail and sat on the little brick wall on the side of our driveway.  Now every day he wants to get the "Meh" (mail) and "Shhht" (sit) on the brick wall.  Devasted if we don't do it, or skip either part of that routine.  What a squarepants, haha.

First Day of School

Caden started Dimensions again last Thursday.  He had been off since just before Memorial Day weekend.  He is now in the Toddler A room, or as I tell him "the big kids room."  The teachers are of course marvelous and we just feel so blessed to have a place such as Dimensions to take him to.  He goes Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9 to 3. 

Tuesday was his second day, and yet again he completely melted down when I was leaving.  But, also yet again, the report from his teachers at the end of the day was that he had a wonderful day, was a good smiley boy, and took a good nap.  They say he's fine once I leave and has no problems the rest of the day.  So, that makes me feel better.

Can't believe how grown up he is getting!!

Also can't believe how bad I've been at blogging......shame on me!!  We had a crazy few weeks, full of business, anticipation of my doctor's appointment at UNMC, etc.  So, here we are, almost end of August, and I'm way behind. 

I'll post some end of summer pics soon.  I have lot's to get y'all caught up on.

I also need to get better about at least putting a 'blurp' every day or two about things Caden is saying, for my sake, to remember.  He's had some doozies already and I don't want to forget them all!!!  Lord knows I will!

Well, here he is.  Crazy to think how much he's changed just since school ended in the spring.  Now suddenly he's the boy who.....

Can turn door knobs & open doors





Go down the stairs all by himself

Say so many words, and at least tries to repeat much of what we say

Figured out the safety latches on the cupboards and opens them now

Is good at sharing his opinion ("Yes" or "No") and actually means it....in correct context

Only has a binkie in bed or the van

Feeds the dogs every morning

Sneaks the dogs way more treats than mommy says every day

Turns the hose on outside and helps himself to a water party

Holds his hands up and says "Go?" when he is looking for something

Says "Shhhh" and puts his finger to his mouth when he is 'suprising' someone

Gives real kisses

Gives real hugs

We're in love, can you tell :)??
