I love this boy!

I can't believe that is October 1st! This year has just seemed to zoom by. Soon I will be turning another year older....I am actually not dreading it as much as I was earlier. Now that my back is feeling better....or that I am more aware of how I am feeling, I feel like I can take on anything. Unless that is the economy.....but I won't go there.

I wanted to write a few things that I have been enjoying lately. Quite a few of my friends have recently blogged about enjoying what really matters and slowing the pace down....living in the moment. I couldn't agree more. I always think about living in the moment...but sadly I get caught up in "life" and really don't. But as of yesterday that all changed.

My little guy Kaden has been being such a ham these days. I think that I laugh on a daily basis at some of the things he says to me. Although he is 4, his vocabulary still isnt the best. He still sounds so little to me and I absolutely love it! Yesterday morning he came in while I was working on the computer and he had pulled both of his arms in to his shirt so he looked like he didnt have any arms. I gasped....Oh no Kade what happened to your arms I am so sad....He immediately popped one arm out and I of course looked shocked and surprised. He just giggled and then popped out the other arm. I acted so happy. He just laughed and laughed. This game went on for at least 15 minutes. I started cracking up because each time I think he actually thought I was buying it...that his arms were missing. We both had the best time pretending. I sat back after and thought this is one of those moments that I lived in. I adore him and am sad that he is my last.

He has quite the imagination. He has an imaginary friend named "Chonklow" I don't even know how to spell it. I have no idea where he came up with the name either. Makenna had 2 imaginary friends named mimi and malza. She would let me meet them and play with them. Her 2 friends kept her so busy. I loved it. Well for some reason Kade won't let me meet Chonklow. he tells me all about him but whenever I ask to play with him or meet him he tells me...Oh He moved to highland....or he wasn't feeling good so he went home. It cracks me up. Yesterday we had to drive down the the toy hauler and get a few things out. Kade was with us and he kept busy playing over by another trailer. When we were getting ready to leave he had me take a picture of him by this trailer because it was Chonklow's trailer. But of course he wasn't there.

Some of my favorite things he does or says are:
* I love that he calls me momma. I smile every time he does!
* He is always making rhythmic noises with his mouth. Maybe he will be a great musician?
* He says tailer---instead of trailer
* He says gool----instead of school
* Whenever he says anything he will always end it with "Right Momma"?
* He loves to help....I try really hard to let him help me even when I have to re-do things.
* When he gets mad he tells me "Fine then I won't be your bestfriend".
* When he says things like "I doesn't like you to do that"
* When he interupts me when I am talking to someone he will sit there and say excuse me mom" over and over until I acknowledge him.
* One the days that I work and go in to say goodbye he tells me "Mom I doesn't want you to go to work".
* If he is trying to describe alot....he says "much and much and much and much".
* He gets in to big trouble and primary and doesnt want to go unless...he gets to sit by Jaycee
* He is always asking me "Did Jesus make this"
* He is obsessed with being big and freaks out if the older kids tell him he is little which they do all the time!

Lately he has been having separation problems. When I take him to school it is a 5 minute good bye with punches, high fives, questions like mom what number will you be back to get me. I don't know why this has started happening. It is hard for me when he does. I usually let the guilt take over and think oh I should be home with him more. But not today...the guilt will not win. I am choosing to believe it is because I am the best mother in the world and he loves me way too much!
