A Tale of Two Kiddies

When we brought Caylee home from the hospital Cade's life was turned upside down. My mom stayed with us all week, we had lots of visitors, and there was this little creature in our home. He would watch as we did the daily task taking care of a new born. Not long after she was here he started rubbing her head. Then a few months ago he started saying "aw sweet" as he rubbed her head. And now well lets just say that they are the best of buddies. Lastnight I was sitting here and I look over at the couch where Caylee was laying. Cade was standing there just talking to her and then they both started laughing. He rubbed her head and then he kissed her. Caylee was smiling and cooing the whole time her big brother loved on her. I am so blessed to have two sweet precious babies in my life, and I am so glad that they love each other so much already. I know they will have lots of great memories growing up together.

Cowboy Kisses

Today was a gorgeous day. So we decided to take Cade out this afternoon while Caylee napped. We took out the sidewalk chalk and drew pictures, played hide-n-seek, and chased Cade all over the front yard. He looked so cute running like a madman in his cowboy boots. I started chasing him around saying I'm going to get you. He would run a few feet and then turn around and go mmmmaw and kiss me. Hah it melted my heart, these are the moments I have always waited for. I told Jeff that Cade didn't have to take a nap today we would just stay out in the front yard all day so that I could get some more of those Cowboy Kisses. :)

The Clapper

The other night my mom and dad came over to see the kids. While they were here Cade and my mom were playing with his basketball goal. She started clapping for him and saying "yeah". Well now every time Cade does anything he claps for himself. So we clap as well and say "Yeah Cade". Yesterday Cade was outside with Jeff and threw such a fit that he knocked Jeff's glasses off his face and onto the sidewalk. Jeff brought him in and spanked him. Then he told Cade to say he was sorry. Cade stopped crying and said, "sar" then immediately started clapping and said "yeah Cade." I look at Jeff through clenched teeth. He had his teeth clenched as well. However, we couldn't hold it any longer we both got so tickled. Needless to say we (Jeff and I) still have a lot of work to do when it comes to disiplining our children. ;)

Bye

Used to when people would leave Cade would have a major melt down. Now that he is a little older he will stand at the window and wave while repeatedly saying "bye". At night after we read him his bedtime stories we say we love you and he replies, "bye". When he is doing something we don't want him to and tell him he needs to stop he says "bye". It is so hard not to laugh when he does that. Well yesterday morning I put him on our bed to watch one of his movies so that I could get in a 30 min. workout. He looked so cute sitting on that bed that I just stood there watching him. After only a few short minutes he looks over at me and says "bye". I laughed but respected his wishes to watch his cartoon in peace and left the room. I know that with a blink of the eye this phase like many others will be gone, so I am going to enjoy the sound of my little man always saying "bye". And for now to my reader's "bye".

My Sunshine

When you turn on the evening news to check the weather you never know what your going to hear. Well I don't have that problem, sure my weather person is always saying something different, but at my house the forecast is always bright and sunny. Now don't get me wrong the Flowers family does have it's days, but not little Caylee. It doesn't matter what time night or day she is my little sunshine. Always smiling from ear to ear. I love that sweet happy little round face. The other night, four a.m. to be exact, I hear her stirring in her bed. I go in to check on her and she is burried under her blanket. When I pull the blanket back she is flopping around like a wild woman with a HUGE grin on her face. I am NOT a morning person and for sure not one at four a.m. However, I could help smiling. I ask her what was she doing and told her it was not time to get up and she laughed at me. I couldn't help but laugh also. So here I am at four in the morning having a laughing contest with my daughter :) I wrapped her back up and put her pacifier in her mouth and went back to bed. Luckily she went back to sleep as well. I guess she just wanted some company for a few minutes before we finished our night.;)

Let's get ready to rumble!!

I hate wrestling. It comes on every Mon. and Thurs. at our house. Jeff has always been a fan and always will be. He records it on our DVR since he is working nights. This Mon. the tv flipped over to Spike and started recording. Well I was playing with Caylee and never got up to turn it off. Cade has seen it before but it has been months since him and his daddy watched it together. That night he stood in front of the tv watching it intently. All of a sudden I hear his sweet voice saying, "oooh ouch ugh."I kind of chuckled to myself when all of a sudden with excitement in his little voice he says as clear as day, "Aww that's sweet." I just about hit the floor laughing. It was so cute but then I also felt a little frustration because now I don't just have one wrestling fan in the house I now have two of them, haha. Aah from the mouth of babes.

I think it is time to wash my hair!!

Every morning as I take my bath I have a very sweet little boy standing at the side of the tub to keep me company. Today as I was washing my hair I opened my eyes and Cade was standing there rubbing his hair. I ask him if he was washing his hair. He then put his hands down walked up to the tub and started to pick up my shampoo bottle. I love watching him learn everyday task and words. However, please keep your fingers crossed for me that he does not decide to wash his hair when I am busy with Caylee, cooking supper, or some other task. I can only imagine the mess that he would make, lol. :)
