Coffee

Tonight the kids were playing while I was watching TV. Caylee stops and grabs her sippy cup. When she gets to my chair she shakes it showing me that it is empty and says, “Coffee, coffee.” LOL I said, “No I don’t think you need any coffee but I will get you some water.” She is so funny.

New Phases

Due to the fact that Cade will only eat a few select things I have started trying to be really creative with some of my meals. He likes spaghetti so I have been making it a lot. I really like the Mac. Grill pasta meals they sell at the store. Tonight I decided to make one of those and add chicken. I thought surely he would eat the pasta and just dig out the chicken. He has had it before and really liked it. Well, I guess not!! As I called him and Caylee to dinner he put his hands on his hips and said, “Momma I don’t like yellow sketti. I don’t like it.” I said, “It’s not yellow it is more like white.“ He said, “I don’t like it.“ So I said, “Fine then don’t eat.” He ran off to his room and started playing. As I was cleaning up dishes he comes back into the kitchen. I then ask him, “Cade are you ready to eat?” He raised his eyebrows at me said no and then ran back to play. I couldn’t help but laugh once he got into the other room. He was so direct and matter-of-factly. He has also started a new phase of every morning crying when we brush his teeth. I am not sure what that is about but I am certain that it is probably just another weird little phase that will pass with time.

Derril Gene Part 2

The other day Cade and I made a WM run. When we come out of the store Cade got very excited. He was pointing and jabbering, so I looked up to see what was so great. He was pointing at an old black car coming across the lot. I looked at it and noticed that there was a little old couple in it. They were grinning and waving at Cade because he had noticed their car. Then the little old man honked at Cade. He didn’t know what to think when he heard the really old horn. I waved back to thank them for acknowledging him. It was a very sweet moment. As I took Cade to the car I thought about my dad and how he likes old cars and car shows. I couldn’t help but smile thinking about how proud Papa will be when he realizes that this little grandson has a love for cars just like him.
