Kade

Our son Kade continues to be a good source of material to put on this blog.

1. A little while ago I talked about what we like to call "the bum scratching incident". Obviously personal boundaries don't concern Kade. The other day we were grocery shopping as a family and Lindsay was nice enough to buy a treat for everyone to share. As we were getting out of the car I commented on how much chocolate was on his face. Without hesitating he asked me if I would lick the chocolate off his face. My son is to lazy to scratch his own bum, or to lick his own face, but we still love him.

2. As my only son I feel the need to infuse him with manliness as often as possible. I came home from work the other day and saw him running around with a pink watch on. So I said "Kade take that pink watch off, that's a girl watch." He took it off without complaint and said "maybe we can get a boy watch" I told him that would be a good idea. Then he said and maybe I can get a boy i-pod". I thought that would also be a good idea. Then he said "and maybe I can put 'All the single ladies' on it." This is why I don't want him wearing pink watches.

3. Not to be outdone by Kalli, Kade has his own list of mispronounced words.

Stoy Story: A popular movie about Woody and Buzz.
Hamand sandwich: a ham and cheese sandwich without the cheese.
Shnaksticks: Where the girls go every Wednesday to work on their tumbling and back hand springs.

Example: Hey dad, when the girls go to shnaksticks maybe we can watch 'Stoy story' and eat a hamand sandwich.

*side note* as my only commenter, Amy, will hopefully be able to respond this time. Either that or I guess I'll have to comment on my own blog.
