THE ANDERSON FAMILY
I have decided to make our blog private. We have some changes and exciting news. I really didn't want to do this, but the change is being made! Send me an email or leave your info and I will add you to my blog (even if I don't know you and you like to check out the blog).
On Sunday Cade was holding the door open for me and others to walk in for church, the last one in was a little girl, probably 7 or 8 and she was wearing an all white dress and Cade goes, "Awww, you look very nice today, you have a very pretty dress!" It was the smoothest thing ever! Her dad was inside waiting for her and heard this and we had a good old chuckle.
Cade is very aware. He is too smart at times and wants to know everything as though life is a test. We will talk about things and he will want to recall them and remember right away without much practice. It can be challenging as he is also one that gets frustrated and frets when it isn't perfect. Want to tie his own shoes for example... oh this will be the death of me!
He is so ready for pre-school but we have yet to hear back from the place we applied. I am stressing if he doesn't get in as I put all my eggs in that basket and will be scrambling to find another.
He adores babies and will ask when we will get one whenever he sees a baby. He tells me Jesus wants to know when we will be ready.
Cade loves to help. He wants to do the dishes and set the table and will often get me things I need without me ever asking, he is a smarty.
He is a beautifully sensitive child and when he thinks about me being at work and not with him for the day, he gets teary just thinking about it and constantly tells me he will miss me.
Cade loves to pray and will say the same prayer each time, in the same order. Just lately he has added a little 'flare' and prays that we can have a pet or go on a holiday or have a baby etc.
He loves to draw and when drawing people puts a big smile on them right away.
Cade has a serious imagination and won't switch it off when needed. I have to tell him, "Ok Cade, I need you to get dressed so switch off the control so you can get dressed" He is often loud and screechy when playing and has to be told not to make the 'warning' noises inside. It can be seriously annoying!
He is affectionate and gives kisses and 'huggles' freely. He is a sweetheart.
Signs of irritation with Ethan have been showing up lately, which is another indication to me he needs time away just for himself. I totally understand this need and hope that preschool will be a good outlet.
Cade is addicted to TV. The only thing better in his world is to be outside, he loves to dig in the dirt and find bugs... oh funny story, earlier in the week we were outside watering the garden and Cade found an earth worm so I picked it up and he wanted to take it to the flowers so I put it in his hand and he squealed and said, "AHHHH, it's too wormy!" and he dropped the worm, I cracked up. Guess, you had to be there, but it was funny as.
Cade has great coordination, and can throw a ball and hit it and Cory is often playing ball with him, it is really nice to see them both enjoy this and will be even better when they can do it outside!
He so wants to be a big boy and often talks about his mission and going to Ireland or Island, we aren't sure! :)
We sure love our Cade. He is such a good boy and I love that he is tender, fun, genuine and mine!
All things Ethan...
We have a little graduate on our hands...
Mary Poppins!
