"I Honey?"

Kadence woke up around midnight one night, and Patrick went to go check on her. As soon as he opened the door, she sat up and said "Daddy, want play it's me Mario." Isn't 2 years old a little young to be obsessing over video games?
  
She has a very active imagination. She started one morning as Dora, and I was Boots the monkey. Later she was Kai-Lan, and I was Hoho the monkey....so I guess I can add 2 monkeys to my personalities...

Kadence got mad at me on a Friday because we went to Target when she wanted to go to church. Sunday she was very excited that it was finally 'church day.' "I gonna put the shoes on and go to church." :)

She's always surprised when she's drawing, and she actually does something. The look on her face is priceless when she realizes she just drew a letter. While doing her "potty art" she figured out "O" and "M." One morning she figured out "Y" and "L." 

She's started liking medicine a little too much...she had already been given all of her medication for the day, and after I put her in bed one night she kept crying "Need medsin! Need more medsin! Please?" 

 

She had been on steroids for a bad cough for over a week, which made her moods very difficult. She was more unstable than usual one morning, and hit 2 different kids at the gym daycare. The 1st kid had pushed her...the 2nd kid told her "No" about something, so she hauled off and hit him. She knew she was in BIG trouble, and spent about an hour crying about it. She made considerable more effort to control herself after that.

 

The gym is a normal part of our daily routine...so much so that one morning Kadence walked up to me with her jacket thrown over her shoulder, and told me "I weady go to the gym."

 

I had to teach her what "boss" meant. After she demanded that I "Moob over!" so she could sit where I was sitting on the couch, I told her "No ma'am. Kadence isn't the boss. Mommy's the boss." She responded with "I want some boss!" 

 

She asked me to help her "Take offa the hoo hoop." After several requests, I figured out that she meant hula hoop...like Alvin...only, she doesn't have one. I actually had to do an imaginary hulahoopectomy for her. 

 

Caiden came over to play with Kadence one evening. She wanted him to do something...and when he didn't do it, she spanked him and said "You nauney!" which got HER in trouble. We had to have the whole "You're not the mommy, you're not the daddy, and you're NOT in charge." conversation AGAIN.  

 

Later they had a "Shhhhhh!" match...C got fed up, pointed at K and said "No, woman!" then turned to me and said "Kadence acting like an animal."

 

We woke up one morning to K yelling "Alllllllvin! Alllllllvin!" just like in the show...which she's seen too much. Apparently her Alvin jumped ship, and she wanted him back.

 

I was cutting K's toenails and didn't see that she had picked up the bottle of nail polish...and started doing her own fingers. While I was trying (unsuccessfully) to get it off the couch she came over with a wipe to help me, and emphatically told me "Kadence VERY nauney. Kadence BIG trouble." 

I called her "Honey" the other day, which confused her slightly since that's not her name. She clarified by asking "I Honey?" I told her that yes, I had been talking to her. She decided she liked that name. The next morning after going potty and washing her hands, she saw herself in the mirror and told me "I Kadence!" I agreed, and she ran off down the hall....only to turn around and walk back. She looked up at me with a concerned look and asked "Mommy, I Honey?" I told her yes, she was Honey too...and she grinned and ran of saying "I Honey!" The next day I called her "kiddo." We had to have the conversation all over again...except she had to clarify that she was indeed "Kadence, KK, Honey, and Kiddo." Poor kid is only 2, and she's already having an identity crisis...:)
