Dear Caden,
Today you have hurt your toe about 84 times, and the day is still young. Amid the bustle of noises from your toys I hear a loud "thunk" followed quickly by a wail of pain. You hobble over to me with huge crocodile tears flowing down your cheeks.
"Ow! Ow! Ooowww!"
"What happened Caden? What hurts?"
"My toe!" (Make that 85)
"Does Mommy need to kiss it and make it better for you?"
"Yeah! Kisses!. . . And ka tas! (new word for ketchup)"
If only all of your life's owies were easily fixed with kisses and ketchup. I pray they are for years to come.
Love,
Mommy

Puzzle Pieces
Dear Caden,
Yes, "puzzle pieces" have the word "puzzle" in them. The puzzle part is supposed to be putting the pieces together to make a big picture, not to try and find said puzzle piece. After nap time we were missing several of these pieces and were quite puzzled as to where you hid them (pun intended). Finally Mommy and Daddy gave up and asked you. . . in which you kindly pointed to your diaper hamper. Of all places. Seriously? Oh wait. . .what the heck is your red hoodie doing in there too?! Guess the diaper hamper needs to hide in the closet during sleepy time.
Love,
Mommy

Toddler Bed
Dear Caden,
I am not sure when it happened. Perhaps the day that you told me, "Mommy, I down. I big. I walk." Or the day that you were able to to go outside and name nearly everything that you saw without hesitation. Somehow, somewhere, you morphed from a tiny, helpless little baby into a fountain of pure energy, limitless questions, handsome big boy. Today we put away your crib for baby brother and put up a toddler bed. You picked out Thomas the Train and Cars bed sets. Of course, you spent the entire nap time out of bed instead of in it, and decided rolling on your bedroom floor and knocking on your bedroom door were way more entertaining. Mommy can't wait until night time [insert eye roll]. Please know that even though you feel like you are a big boy, that you will always be Mommy's baby, my Happy Thought.
Love,
Mommy
