I was throwing up the other day. I try to keep the kids from seeing me do so. Kaden ran in the bathroom and started rubbing my back saying, " Sorry Mommy, no spit Mommy! no spit!" My sweet and loving Kaden knew throwing up wasn't such a good thing. It's good to know he's concerned right along with Sis and Tan. Since then, I've made sure to lock the door so Kaden doesn't have to experience that again.
Tanner said our family prayer the other night. He asked Heavenly Father to bless Uncle William to come home from his mission safely. William has 14 months left of his mission. Apparently, since the kids talked with their Uncle on Christmas, they are already counting down the days. The day after Christmas I was putting Brooklyn to bed. She said, "I really really want to talk to William tomorrow, okay?" I told her that she gets to talk to her loving Uncle on Mother's Day. She didn't quite like that answer. It's so rewarding to see how much the kids love their William.
Brookie has some gorgeous hair. She actually has as much hair as I do. I'm a little jealous. I make sure to admire and compliment her often in hopes she never tries to cut it herself. I even brainwash her that only Mommy and DeAnne (my BF) can cut her hair. Dad had a generous idea. He told Brookie about little girls that aren't able to grow hair or girls that are really sick and their hair falls out. So Dad showed her pictures on the "Locks for Love" website and explained that it would be a great idea for her to donate her hair when it grows a little longer to make a wig for a girl. Poor Brookie's face looked serious and upset. She wasn't a bit sold on the concept. In due time, I know she'll be willing to share her beautiful hair. She has given away some barbies and dress up clothes when I haven't asked her to. So there's hope the idea grows on her.
"Where's my Colby?", Kaden said the other day. I pointed to my tummy. He said it again... "Where is my Colby (Kaden says Pokey)? I don't want him under Mom!" He want's my tummy uncovered when ever he decides he wants to see Colby. He came over, pulled up my shirt, (good thing we were at home) hugged and kissed my tummy and said, "I love you my Pokey. I snuggle him Mommy." I love how he calls him Pokey. When corrected Kaden will say it right but I don't like to correct him it's too cute!
Tanner and Brookie have responsibilities and chores each day. Most often they are good at accomplishing these tasks. Tanner observed that Sissy wasn't and he wrote me a note saying, "Mom, Brooklyn isn't doing her chores. She is playing with her barbies instead." Love, Tanner
I've said it before and here I write it again... at such a young age, Kaden has truely learned how to unconditionally love others. Kaden often wakes from nap crying and saying, "My Tanner! My Tanner!" When Tanner is home, his heart totally melts and he rushes to comfort him. I will often hear Tanner say, "Did you just want to snuggle me? I'm right here." Once in a blue moon, Brookie will take a nap. On this rare occasion, Kaden will search all over the house and then come to me with such a concerned face and say, "Where my Sissy go? I don't see her."
