Caden and Mommy Visit the Park

It's that time of the year for Mommy to work nights again. I have every Saturday morning off with Caden alone. I'm usually lacking sleep and try to entertain for 4-5 until my mom can watch him so I can nap.

Last Saturday I took him to the park. I was really excited because they have a brand new state of the art playground there. He played on the playground for like 10 minutes and then ran off.

He would rather wander around and chase the ducks. Those poor ducks, he would not leave them alone. Next time, I will have to take a better camera with me. These pictures were taken with my cellphone.

Potty Training

At the beginning of September, Caden's teachers approached me and wanted to have a meeting. They told me that we need to get rid of the pull-ups and put Caden in big boy underwear. I agreed.

So the next day, we put him in underwear. He's been doing pretty good. He's had some accidents here and there, mostly with #2. The kid always forgets to tell someone that he needs to poop.

He has only worn diapers and/or pull-ups for bedtime the past month. Sometimes he gets lazy and pees in the middle of the night. We understand, he's a sound sleeper.

He's holding out on going poop in the potty, but we will live with that. Every day is touch and go. Hopefully soon we will say that he is completely trained. I would say that he is about 75% trained.

YAY Caden!

Watermelon Day

A couple of weeks ago, they had a "Watermelon Day" at Caden's school. This occurred after school. They had some decorate watermelon's and all the kids we were little watermelons around their necks. They have watermelon on a stick for everyone to snack on. Here are some pictures of Caden and his buddies from school.

Caden in Stacey's Office

Caden goes to The Little Gym every Monday night. Sometimes we get there a little early and just let him run around and play. He usually finds his way into Stacey's office. Stacey found him in her office one day playing with the Post-It notes. He loves them.

Catalogs

Caden has a new favorite pastime of looking at catalogs. They are mostly toys and children's things. While he's looking at them, he says, "Mama I NEED this, Daddy NEED this." It's quite funny. He's been especially obsessed with the Halloween items. He can't make-up his mind on what he's going to be.

Unfortunately this year, we can't just buy him an ole' costume. He's very particular and has to chose it himself. "I do it myself!".

I asked him to try on some clothes for this picture. He decided to put this outfit together. I tried to tell him that it doesn't match.
