The Thoughts of a 3.5 year old....

Kaden never ceases to amaze me! Especially here lately. I remember a time, right before we put him in Mother's Day Out that, we were concerned he had a speech problem. Then we figured out the "speech problem" was that the Grandparents didn't make him talk :) Anyway, here are some of the lovely thoughts that my child had this week (so far!)...


K: So now that the Chrickamas tree is put up, where are the presents?
Me: Well, Santa will bring you presents on Christmas Eve.
K: Oh...does Santa shop at Wal-Mart?


K: I SHARED!!
Me:That is great! What did you share?
K: My chocolate milk.
Me: With who? (suspicions are rising...)
K: Ethan....He wouldn't drink from my sippy, though.

He also apparently climbed to the top of the slide, which, at the MDO playground, is also a rocket ship that goes to the stars and moon. And we finally figured out that "Muffler Speaks" is actually Martha Speaks. Now it all makes sense.....

Now, it is bedtime, but before I go, I will leave you with this picture of Ethan....hunting season is in full force around here (Do I hunt? No. Does my hubby hunt? No. Why do we put our kids in camo? GRANDPA'S!!!) so Ethan aka Mommy's Little Deer, got all decked out for the occassion!

And the reasons I am crazy over Kaden (aka KadenNate, Kaden Nafaniel, Miracle, Big Brudder)

he always smells like cookies-his big blue eyes-the way complete strangers walk up and tell me how pretty he his-his laugh-his ability to work a romm in no time-he never meets a stranger-he is truly a miracle-the way he thinks trains are the greatest thing ever-his chubby belly-his love for Ethan-his love for everyone in the family, actually-the way he MUST hold your hand to go to sleep-his easy going nature-his memory, the kid forgets nothing!-his simplicity-the fact he is our first born after four years of pain and loss and giving up on the fact we would ever have children. I "wub" you, too, Miracle!!

Why I am crazy over Ethan (aka Lil'Bit, Lil'Man, Shrimp, Little Brudder, Epan Nickowas):

the smell of his hair-the softness of his skin-the way he ALWAYS smiles when I walk by-the look of amazement as he watches Big Brother-the way he rests his hand in the same spot on my chest when we are sleeping-his laugh-his quiet voice-those big blue eyes and incredibly long eyelashes-the way he kicks that one leg just like he did in my belly-his "pick me up NOW" cry-the confused look he gets when Daddy baby talks-the sucking noises he makes when he takes a paci-his little bum-his chubby fingers-the fact that he is the last baby I will ever have-and I could go on and on and on.....I "wub" you lil'man!!

Better late than never...

So I kinda haven't blogged in a bit. But, not that I did not want to, there has just been NO time. Halloween has come and gone, and Thanksgiving is only a few weeks off! I am SO ready to put Christmas decorations up....Kaden has really been showing interest in Santa Claus, so this year should be really fun watching him! Of course, I have attached some photos of the boys from Halloween! We visited the Great Punkin Patch (as Kaden calls it), with the boys in matching skeleton shirts :). Kaden was greatly entertained by Garfield's Halloween and The Great Pumpkin Patch (Charlie Brown) this year, which I could not love more! Those are the exact cartoons that I watched every Halloween when I was little, so it is kinda like I am passing on a tradition! Anyway, Kaden was none other than Thomas the Tank Engine and Ethan was a loaf of Wonder Bread. Good times....

And, yes, I finally changed my background! Rather complicated procedure, I must say....
