Cadenism's

Here are some conversations and words I want to remember in future years!

At the swimming pool change room after a particular rambunctious swim for Caden

Caden: looks around at the other children getting dressed "that was a fun swimming lesson, don't ya think?

At the grocery store when we pass an area that someone has recently passed gas in

Caden: I smell something
Me: What do you smell Caden?
Caden: I don't know.... smells like you Mommy.

One night as he popped out of his room at 11:30 and Rick and I were still up watching TV

Caden: What you doing guys? Something fun?


Me: Caden don't stretch Kara's barrette like that you are going to break it
Caden: Continues to stretch the springs until it falls apart "Uh-Oh it broke"
Me: Caden, Mommy asked you not to do that and now it's broken and I can't fix it
Caden: Ummm... I think baby Kara needs a new barrette Mommy
Me: That's a good idea Caden, maybe we should buy her one with some of the money from your piggy bank
Caden: Not MY piggy bank Mommy, it's Baby Kara's barrette!

This kid cracks me up! And there are still some words that he mispronounces that I want to remember

Umbrella -- um-ber-ella
Einsteins - oun-steins
Yellow -- Lellow - although I am not sure why... he makes the Y sound just fine for words like Yak and Yankie Doodle


Oh and my new personal favorite from last night.

Caden: Mommy... Baby Kara is asleep
Me: Yes, she has finished drinking her milk and fell asleep didn't she. Should I put her in her bed.
Caden: Yes, and how about you cuddle me to sleep too.
Me: Ok

So we put Kara to bed and go cuddle in the spare room bed (Caden's bed is a toddler and I can't lie in it) We are in his favorite cuddle position, him with his back to my chest, my arms tightly around his belly and his head tilted back and uncomfortably pushed against my nose, when he suddenly flips over, puts a hand on each of my cheeks and says "I am glad you are so here Momma". I say "I'm so glad you are here too baby" I really, really am.... he has no idea!
