Mom, Dad, Me, & One More....Makes 4!: December 2010

Halloween and Xmas decorating

In the season of the holidays, here is Halloween and Xmas decorating all at once.

Kade the cow and Isaac the dinosaur

My sugar addict, reaping the rewards of his hard work

Kade did really well decorating the tree this year. He took it really serious and didn't even stick a nasty x-mas ornament hook through his fingers. Yay!

So serious! He found the perfect spot for each ornament

Kade is VERY excited for Xmas. He's already sat on Santa's lap and put his first request in for a Blue Donkey. Ok whatever...????

The "not so fun" side of parenting

These are a few of my "not" so favorite thing of parenting:

Fevers...

And Potty Training!

Yes, I have an almost 3 year old, who is NOT potty trained yet. Really....this is time consuming stuff. Kade is getting more excited about it. Loves the underwear, so I think we are making progress. Daycare reports that they are ready to take him in underwear as he is telling them when he has to go, and then he actually does. Not so much at home though, yet. Still a work in progress, but I'm confident I will not be sending him off to college in diapers.

Kade's going to be a BIG BROTHER!

Kade is showing off his new "BIG BROTHER" shirt! Yes, Kade is expecting his new brother/sister on May 17, 2011.

Misc Hodge Podge

So I find myself here on a Saturday night, with A LOT of pictures to post. No ryhme or reason...just life with an almost 3 year old.

We can start out with the joys of PARADES! Amanda and I took Kade and Isaac to the NDSU parade, I'm guessing it was back in Sept/Oct. The kids really liked it.

Here is Kade, "listening" for the sirens of the police cars that were starting the parade...

Guessing he is liking the parade...

Awww! Soo cute

Kade is also taking a liking to his dog Hunter. They've become pretty good buds. Not to say Kade is always the "gentlest" with Hunter, but they are doing pretty well together.
