More fun than I know what to do with...

My Kid is amazing and more fun than this mom knows what to do with...

I know lots of people probably say that but I seriously find myself daily thinking, does it get better than this?

Kadence is FULL of life, laughter, chatter, and new things daily...This week alone we realized that Kadence can spit off her ABC's, that she can make full sentences, she can count 1-11 or 12 depending on the day but 5 is always missing, and that she is probably (although I hate to admit it) ready to potty train.

Some of my favorite sayings that Kadence says are..."What you doing here?"- what she says when she wants to know what I am doing. "I hold you?"- What she says when she wants you to pick her up. "I pray?" What she says when mommy or daddy have forgotten to say grace or bedtime prayers (WHOOPS!) Today she asked for a baby sister-lop...let me get right on that! Today she also dropped her zippy cup and said "Uh Oh mommy, I drop water on the floor" and I laughed because it didn't spill because it was in a sippy cup.

Around the house she helps with daily things- She can put all three trash cans back upstairs and puts them exactly where they go. She can put her pj's away. She gets her laundry from our bedroom (where we fold clothes) and takes it to her closet. She can put her own socks on (tonight she came out of the room with socks on her hands and feet!) She can also help put dishes away- which usually looks like taking them from the bottom shelf and putting them on the top or taking out her princess plate and running it around the house.

She loves baths, paint, being outside, checking the mail, cooking in her play kitchen, and playing house. Her favorite shows are still Elmo, Frozen, and Rio although sometimes she is game for Curious George, Clifford, or Minnie Mouse (but Netflix doesn't have a real good option for this).

I could sit and watch her play, think, and work for hours...I am in awe of how she thinks, the things that make her giggle, and what she picks up...the other day we were in the bath and she started laughing and said, "Oh, geez" and I laughed even harder :)

She still loves books and can spend hours flipping through books and my favorite is now she "reads" the books back to you and that is about as heart warming as it gets.

Sorry this post is so..."I think Kditty is amazing" but I am just having one of those days where I'm in awe of my family, of my little girl, and just taking this life one day at a time...it's pretty GREAT!

I LOVE BEING A MOM!!!!!
