My little gladiator/fairy...

We had some workmen at our house a few weeks ago to fix some things...most of which needed to be done before we moved in. One of the issues was a broken tile, caused by settling in the foundation. The guys of course took their shoes off at the door, so were all in their socks. While they were fixing the tile, Kadence was sitting on the couch with me watching, when she noticed that one of the guy's socks had started coming down over his heel. It bothered her. A lot. She told me "I need to go fix his sock." I told her that it was fine, and convinced her to leave him alone. A few minutes later he was walking around, and his sock was still the same way. Since I had said she couldn't fix it, and it was still bothering her, she said to him "Excuse me, your sock's amiss."

The things that come out of her mouth never cease to amaze me...we pulled into the driveway one afternoon, and she informed me "When the fire comes out of my butt, it rains." I still have no idea what that was about.

Kadence and I went to Sonic for lunch on the way to do grocery shopping. I told her that if she didn't eat all of her chicken, she couldn't have her toy. She was playing with her stuffed baby chick before bed that night, and told it "You can't have your toy if you don't eat your chicken!" Poor little chick...

When we were checking out at Sam's that day, she had been talking to the ladies in line behind us. When I had to move the cart so things could go back in it as they were scanned, she was rather unhappy about being removed from her audience. She loudly informed me "I'm angry!" I asked her "Why are you angry?" She said "Because I'm not happy!" I suppose that's a good enough reason. lol

One the Christmas gifts we got Kadence was washable finger paints. She was thrilled with them, and was very excited to use them. The first time we let her finger paint, Patrick changed her into different clothes so she wouldn't mess hers up (even though the paint is washable)...and she came back looking like a little gladiator. She was very precise about her painting though, and wasn't really into making a mess. It was actually a rather clean process.

 

Aunt Ashley got her a dress-up box of fairy clothes for Christmas. It had different accessories to go with the different outfits. She's been completely obsessed with it. The first night she had it, she had to wear ALL of the accessories...so he had on her regular earrings, AND 2 sets of plastic clip-ons. She looked more like a gypsy than a fairy.

A few nights after she first got the dress-up set, she put everything on and had nowhere to go, and nothing to do. So she went upstairs, and knocked on Ben's bathroom door.
K: It's me! I'm all dressed up. What are you doing?
B: I'm taking a bath.
K: Can I watch you?
B: No.
I was laughing for awhile.

She had her first bowling experience on New Year's Eve. Sandra, Savannah and Garrett came down for that weekend, and they, Ben, Caiden, Kadence and I went bowling. Patrick had to work. :( The kids had an awesome time though...but just in case you didn't know, bowling with 2 three year olds takes forever.

She's been periodically begging to go back for the last month. We'll go again sometime...when Daddy can go too.

Small people misunderstanding each other is rather amusing. Kadence had just woken up from her nap, and was slightly grumpy. Caiden was hyper, and about to take a nap.
C: Let's run!
K (thinking he'd asked 'What's wrong?'): I'm fine.
C: Let's run!
K: I'm FINE!
C: Let's run!
K: I'M FINE!!
By that point I'd figured out what she thought he was saying, and calmed her down...then I laughed. :)

I am still technically doing catch-up blogging on past events...so posts will probably be a little shorter for now, since I'm going to try to squeeze them in as often as possible in my free time to get everything completely up to date. :)
