"Broke"

Yesterday when Kayden and I were leaving the park he decided to drag his dump truck along as I pulled him in the wagon. I told him he should put it in so it didn't "Break" but he kept thinking it was cool to drag it. Sure enough the dumper part fell off from the truck part. So I had him leave it at the front porch with the wagon and told him when daddy got home he'd fix it. About 20 or so minutes later we were playing in the playroom and daddy came home, Kayden ran to him and pulled him to the front door all the way saying "broke, broke, broke". I had totally forgotten about the dump truck, probably b/c it wasn't a "big deal" to me, but to him he was really worried about his broken truck and instantly wanted daddy to fix it. Funny little people toddlers are!

Isn't this the truth......

"One hundred years from now
It won't matter
What kind of car I drove
What kind of house I lived in
How much money I had in the bank
Nor what my cloths looked like
BUT
The world may be a little better
Because, I was important
In the life of a child."


Love you!

I love being a SAHM soooo much. I love every moment I have with Kayden, even when he is trying to grab the poo out of his diaper when I'm changing him and we are fighting over getting his bumm wiped, I love that it is me trying to wipe his booty and me watching him laugh hysterically while I try to work around his hands. Someone sent this to me today and it just explains so well why I do what I do. Of course I could work and make a good salary, and "use my masters degree" as many people ask me why I don't, but at the end of the day, I wouldn't be happy being away from Kayden, so it wouldn't be worth all the money in the world. Thank you so much Kyle, for giving me the amazing gift of getting to parent Kayden all day, every day. You work so hard and give us such a great life and I don't thank you enough for what you do. You are my hero for giving so much for our family everyday! Thanks for giving me that chance to make a difference in our child (future children's:-) lives! Love you babe!

"Jac Jac"

Lately Kayden is really into his Auntie Jaclyn, he asks for her randomly and calls her "Jac Jac". The other day we were in the park and he started saying "Jac Jac" b/c he wanted to walk to her house, he also thinks she should be at every playdate with friends and gets sad if I tell him she is at work. Jaclyn swears she doesn't sneak him chocolate when I'm not around but I'm not sure...she claims it is because when she babysat him for Kyle's Christmas party she let him stay up until 11:30pm and that makes her the "cool auntie". They say it takes a village to raise a child and I'm so glad he has some amazing women (and men:-) around him to teach him those things I can't!
Now Tatum...I'm waiting for "Kaisha", or "Kaish" or anything similar works for me:-)

"Bubbles"

When I look at his little face I just see....sweet perfection!


About a month or so ago when Kyle was out of town for work I thought I'd be "fun mom" and make Kayden's bath a bubble bath. Bathtime has always been "daddy and Kayden time" so I thought I'd mix it up to make up for the fact that daddy wasn't there. Well....Kayden was not happy his bath had bubbles in it, I actually had to drain the water and start over without bubbles. I was surprised bc he always loves bubble time at storytime and when we blow bubbles outside. Well lately he has found a new love for bubbles, he has always liked them but now they are super cool. He has to bring bubbles when we go to the park and he loves that he can blow them on the wand like a big boy. Bubbles is also one of my favorite words that he says, it is so perfect and sounds so cute coming from his tiny little person:-) Anyway, with our new found bubble love I decided to try a bubble bath again last night bc daddy was consumed with the big cardinals game during bathtime. And last night he loved his bubble bath, and mommy got to hear "bubbles" over and over and it made me smile the whole time I was bathing him!
