Cute kid

Random cute comments from Kaden:

Nic was unloading the dishwasher and Kaden said, "I want to help. All these things are breakable?" pointing to the dishes on the top rack. Nic tells him they are breakable and walks away. Kaden says, "I wait for you to come back and I be extra careful." He then picks up a glass bowl and hands it to Nic (carefully).

"I want to go to Home Depot and get spray for the ants."

On the way home from school he said, "I a good boy after I get in trouble from Miss Kathey and Miss Suzi." I asked him what he did and he said, "I poked Gunnar with a fork." When I asked him why he did that, he said, "I don't want to talk about that anymore."

"Mimi, where's your pink bag?" Mimi told him she left it at home. "I'm going to call you Monday and tell you to bring the pink bag next time."

Guess who's got his first tooth!?

Yep... this guy does!


It seems like it's been a long time since the drooling, hands in the mouth and fussing began.


And now, after 6 1/2 months, his bottom right tooth cut through. If he'd only let me look in there long enough to see if the other one is close!

Happy Halloween!!!

On Halloween our neighbor Maddie hosted a party for dinner and cake before heading out to go trick-or-treating! It's so wonderful to see all the kids in our neighborhood that are Kaden and Cam's ages. After the lighting of the ghost cake, we headed out with everyone to start trick-or-treating. Since Kaden is so shy, we practiced at home before Halloween and he thought knocking on the door and getting candy was hilarious. When it was finally time to head to the first house, he bolted down the sidewalk and was the first one up the steps to the front door... and then... in true Kaden style, he didn't want to say anything, didn't want candy and didn't want to do it again! After a couple of houses (and a cookie for bribery purposes), he got the hang of it. He hung out with the other kids for a little while and then ended up skipping a few houses and we got ahead of the pack. By the end, Kaden was saying trick-or-treat and getting candy by himself (but with Grammie near by).







Kaden picked out his costume himself after a month of saying he wanted to be a dragon. I'm diggin' the Superman and all his crazy poses!

The little monkey got tired during the party and came home to go to bed. But dang, he was a cute little monkey!!

Here are a couple of more shots from our neighbor Kelley... who's a much better photographer than I am! Kelley- can you photoshop Nic in to the last one?!? :)
