My big-little guy! Kaiden loves to color and do crafts. He's very independent and likes to "do things himself!" He's also a great little helper. He loves to clean. As soon as he's done eating he wants a wet wipe so he can clean up his tray (before I wash it) and he wants the hand vacuum we keep next to his chair to vacuum up the crumbs under his chair. We shorten the swiffer handle and he sweeps the wood floors. He knows where things go and likes to put them in their places.... even if we don't. He knows which doors we tend to keep closed and if he notices they are open he will close them. He can be a little OCD when it comes to cleaning and keeping things in order, but that's okay with us! His speech is getting better every day, but most words are still garbled at this age. My favorite things that he says are:
"ray go" (ready set go) followed by him racing across the room
"where go" (where did it go) and he hides something and then
"here is" (here it is) as he uncovers what he was hiding
"hey hey hey" when he wants our attention he taps our arm/leg or tugs on us and says hey, hey, hey until we pay attention to what he's showing us.
"peas" (please) along with the sign for please, which we assume he learned from daycare
"ank you" (thank you)
and my altime favorite... "Jay!" (Jason). Yes, he calls dad Jay. Not dad, not daddy, not dada... Jay! LOL
The boys got a joint Easter basket this year. I figured that way they could share the treasures and couldn't fight over whose toys they were... instant fill water balloons, plastic sea creatures, 18 Bakugons, Pez, candy...
Connor loves the transformer Bakugon's.
Medical Lake Easter Egg Hunt at Water Front Park. Connor was mad he didn't find a golden egg this year. You turn the golden eggs in for prizes. Kaiden had fun hunting for eggs too.
After our Easter Egg Hunt we went home for lunch, Kaiden went down for his nap, our neighbor Payton came over to babysit and we took the 4-wheelers to the ATV park. We took Jason and Connor's ATV's to ride. The idea was that I was going to ride on the back of Jason's. Once we got there Connor wanted to ride on the back of Jason's though, so I ended up riding Connor's for half the time. Then we swapped around and we all rode both. We all got a little bit muddy, but I was covered the most. Connor wanted me to ride behind him on his ATV and he likes to drive through the puddles.
Easter dinner: steak and lobster! Yum! Both boys love lobster!! Then it was hair cut time for all 3 boys before bath time.
