8 month is nearly an eternity...if you are two!

I was reading Cady a book before bed tonight. I shut the book and Cady says:

"I think we need to go to the store"

I respond with, "You think we need to go to the store, huh? For what?"

And what I was expecting was what she has told me every single day since Rob's birthday. That we need to go to the store because daddy wants cake.

Instead she says:

"To get a baby."

I respond, "The baby is at the store?"

And she wrinkles up her brow all serious like and I can tell she is really thinking this one through. She says, "Yeah, I'm thinking the baby is at the store."

Oh the poor kid. I think we told her waaaaay too early (but the video wouldn't have been the same with me wearing a big mama shirt telling you all I'm pregnant, right?)

Strangest Compliment Ever?

Cady and I just had breakfast together. While we were eating I sneezed.

Cady said-"Bless you mommy"

to which I said, "Thank you Cady."

A moment passes

Cady's response--"That was a ruuullllle (real) pretty sneeze mommy!"

Where do they come up with these things?

Now Entering....The Embarrassment Phase!!

All within a couple of days!

Yesterday. We were waiting to go down the aisle at Target but two people had their carts blocking the aisle. So, I decided to wait patiently until someone looked up and I'd say "excuse me" but NOOOooooo. Cady hollers with her hands up in the air, "C'mon people!" And yes, she did get that from me. We have weekend park traffic and it's hard to make a left hand turn out of my street so sometimes she'll hear me mutter, "c'mon people" if it takes too long. The woman that actually heard it just kind of snickered at me (good-naturedly).

Tonight. We stopped off for some BBQ after music class. Keep in mind that the restaurant we went to is decent sized AND there is baseketball on AND there are several loud conversations. (Starin and Mimi, you know where). But Cady, in case you haven't read this before or been around her, is a REALLY loud kid. Well, she farts. And she puts her hands over her head, standing up in the booth and hollers, "woo-hoo! I farted". So, I'm thinking, "that was loud, but nobody probably has any idea what she said" A moment later it happens again in her loud Cady voice, "Woohoo, I farted!" Rob says, "What do you say Cady" to which Cady responds again in her very loud and excited voice "I did two farteds!" The woman who was across the restaurant ordering at the counter when this first started, passes by our table laughing and says, "really, I'm trying very hard not to laugh". Oh my! I have the feeling that the fun has only just begun!
