The Bug

I often call Cadence Cady-Bug...mostly because she is always bugging me to do something. We stay very busy all day long until Cady goes down for her nap and then I am busy doing mom things that I can't get to when Cady is awake. I will sorely miss her nap times when she out grows them.

Anyway, Cadence had a rare morning where she wasn't bugging me to do something. She was sitting around in her Tinkerbell chair watching cartoons. Now, other than Winnie the Pooh, Cady doesn't watch that much TV, but I recently discovered that the Discovery Kids Channel play commercial free toddler/preschool aged shows in the morning. Cadence fell in love with a show called Peep and the Big Wide World (really funny show too, mostly because of a character called Quack, who is of course a duck). Also a big hit was the show right after Peep, called Hi-Five which has five young adults who sing songs and act out activities that are really fun for the 2-6 year age group. Both are very good and very clean shows and I enjoy making breakfast while she indulges. Cadence actually tries to talk about what happens in the shows too so i know that she is at least understanding most of what she is viewing and it is making her think.

This morning I snapped a few shots of her watching "her show" and came up with this gem of a picture!

I know! Total little model right? I had to stand on the couch to get this angle and then called her name. She looked up very briefly and then turned back to her show and told me "Mommy no joomping on dat couch!" lol. She likes to keep me in line.

Last Sunday Cadence got to wear one of her three, yes three, Christmas dresses. Don't ask. She loves them and would wear them every day (she picked out and then made gooey eyes at Grandma Viv and that is why we have two out of the three), but we have "church clothes rules" or at least I do and Cady hasn't really challenged me about it yet. :o) Here she is in her first dress of the Christmas season!

There was glitter ALL over ANYONE who touched her, but she loved it and looked so dang cute in her big girl dress! All three of her Christmas dresses are in size 3T so that they will reach past her knees. My girl is just way too tall for her age. Anyway, I will post some pictures next week of her in her next dress with her cousin Avery since they have matching dresses. Avery will be Blessed this weekend and Cadence is so excited to go visit. She keeps saying that she wants to hold HER baby again. It should be fun especially since we got that mini DVD player for the 5 and something hour drive to Arizona! Sadly Brady won't be able to join us in AZ for the Blessing, but he has assured me that the Christmas tree will be up when we get back!

We hope that you are all having a great start to the Christmas season!
