1. Caedon cuteness.
Yesterday Caedon started saying, "Aww Man!!!" in the exact tone of voice that I use when I say that phrase. He even used it at appropriate times - like when he dropped a crayon on the floor! We went to Red Lobster with Nick and Megan last night for Endless Shrimp and I think we encouraged his use of "Aww Mann!" with our laughing at him. He was a good boy at the restaurant again (unlike our previous experience at Olive Garden). Also - more cuteness: Caedon got a new moose pillow pet to sleep on. He half loves it and is half afraid of it. But he learned about antlers because of it!
2. Caedon advancing in potty-training.
Caedon went pee on the potty for the first time today! I think I had previously mentioned that he had gone poop a couple times (which is supposed to be harder for them to learn?) but never pee. Anyway, today he apparently knew he had to go, sat on his potty, and started peeing on the floor. Oops! I rushed over and helped him out a bit, and he got a little bit in the potty! YAY! Small steps :)
3. Wonderful neighbors/friends.
Chase had a lot of fun playing flag football today with the other residents. We then had a chili cook-off and all the families gathered outside to play and eat. I am going to miss this SO MUCH! Also, our neighbors the Kiblers watched Caedon tonight so Chase and I could have a date-night!
Tonight Chase and I went on a date to the Des Moines Symphony. I really liked it! It was a new type of format established in 2005 where they tell you about how the music came to be composed/arranged/etc. in the first half. After intermission, they come back out and play the entire piece. It was nice to be able to think about those things and listen for specific moments in the piece they had informed you about.
5. Daylight savings time.
If Caedon will let us enjoy it. He went to bed at 8 instead of his normal 9 since he went without a nap today.
6. Our wonderful daycare provider, Heidi.
Heidi is soooo wonderful! I enjoy hanging out with her, she is amazing with Caedon, and she watches him when I feel like napping before work. Which is everyday. Not gonna lie. Caedon is obsessed with a "bumble-bee song" now because of Heidi. Too cute. We always have to sing it right after we sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider."
7. Fun experiences with my sister.
Megan and I had a fun experience at the grocery store this week. I wish our schedules weren't so opposite all the time! Caedon usually wakes up in the morning, comes into bed with me, and asks for Daddy (at work). Then he asks for Megan and Nick. Today he asked for Nick first, sorry Meg!
8. Family.
All of you. LOVE YOU!! Or "Wuv You" as Caedon says with a kiss (he is obsessed with kissing now - Chase said he showed Caedon a Winnie the Pooh video on you-tube and Caedon had to kiss Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, and Tigger whenever they came on the screen). Our families are the best and do so much for us! We can't say enough thanks!
9. Vacation
Chase and I are off to Ft. Lauderdale in 2 weeks! Yay!!
