Happy Birthday sweet 5 yr old! You still look 3, you are kind and sweet and obedient! You are full of excitement over most things (although a little attitude is developing...) except vegetables - or well food in general - no wonder you're so small! You love playing make believe games and play really well with your younger brother, older sister and well pretty much anyone. When walking to the park earlier this year, David dropped his lollipop into the dirt and without missing a beat you immediately popped yours out of your mouth and said "it's OK David, you can have mine... wow, it feels so good when I do nice things!" You're still completely obsessed with babies. You can read better than most grade 1 kids and you play the piano and sing like a rock star. You dislike crafts and still can barely write your own name and I'm hoping you can master how to properly hold a pencil before kindergarten! You quit gymnastics and ballet classes this year because the only part you liked about either was the social aspect. You love primary and your little preschool class - you have the sweetest little class of 7 girls from church who you adore. Every time you wash your hands you take the time to give yourself a beard of soap bubbles which you proudly show me before wiping it off to go play. (not joking, this happens at least 4 or 5 times a day) You are a goof and a giggle monster but you are one of the kindest most considerate people I know - often giving friends or siblings the toy or treat that you want most for yourself to them. I love you Cadie!
Your birthday party this year was of course a baby party. You LOVED it and have already asked for another baby party next year... You invited all of your preschool friends and they were each asked to bring a baby. A REAL baby. (I'm nuts, I know...) We played pin the soother on the baby and baby freeze dance - which was seriously like a mosh pit full of babies and every time the music stopped everyone cried! You were in heaven. There ended up being 21 people there including some of the parents and yet you were still asking me why couldn't we have invited baby Channing? And baby Kiara? And baby Lucas? You seriously remember every baby you have ever met by name and love them all. You once told me you were going to have a million-thousand-hundred babies. And I believed you.
Here are some of the cute and funny things you have said this year:
Cadie: "Sometimes it's nice to have short legs because then people carry you." ~4
Cadie: "That baby over there is a girl baby. I can tell because it has eyelashes." ~4
Cadie: "Awww! Look, Mommy! That baby over there is cuter than a DUCK!" ~4
Cadie: "HEY MOMMY! THere's some guys out here workin' on our house!" (we had our roof done after the hail storm)
me: "Oh really?" (they came and went without warning for a few weeks)
Cadie: "Yup, and I just told them we'd make them some chocolate cookies." ~4
Uncle Trevor: (after seeing Cadie for the first time in months) "Cadie! How did your hair get so long?"
Cadie: "It's cuz I dip it in water every time I have a bath." ~4
Cadie: "HEY MOMMY! Do you see any hair in my nose?"
me: "uh, nope"
Cadie: "That's cuz I haven't growed up yet!" ~4
me: (In a high-pitched mimicking tone trying to get her to say thank you after bringing her a delicious snack to the table) "oh thank you mommy, you're the best mommy in the whole world"
Cadie: "Oh no, I'm so sorry mommy, I still love you but you're really not the best mommy in the whole world - Mya's mommy is. She lets her kids play in their garage." ~4
Cadie: "C'mere David, I want to teach you a song. Now sit down. Repeat after me: Mommy is a lit-tle bit hor-rible because she makes the worst-est juice" ~4
Cadie: "HEY MOMMY! Look, MOM! There's a REAL astronaut - LOOK for REAL mom, a REAL astronaut who's probably going to the moon RIGHT NOW!! (shouted as a motorcyclist was walking away from his hidden from view bike with his helmet still on) ~4
me: "Cadie, you really shouldn't be jumping on the trampoline right now - did you remember that it's the sabbath day?"
Cadie: "It's OK mom, I already checked with Heavenly Father. This is exactly what God wants me to do!" ~4
Cadie: "Uhhhh, what's on this weird stick? CORN?" (buds) ~4
Cadie: "HEY MOMMY! Right now I'm having a baby."
me: "Oh? I hope it doesn't hurt."
Cadie: "HAHAHAHA, no, momma, you crack me up - it's not a monster baby at all, it's a GIRL baby." ~4
Cadie: "Can I please have some more milk?"
me: "finish what you have in your glass already first"
Cadie: "NOOO!! I'll punch you in the face!" ~4 (see what I mean about attitude?)
Cadie: "MOMMY!!!! My poo-bum hurts REALLY bad when I push my fingers up my poo-bum like this - OWWWWW" ~4 (sorry if this is offensive to anyone! I really debated whether or not to include this but I haven't been so good at keeping a journal lately and i don't want to lose this incase I need to blackmail her as a teenager!)
Cadie: "When I grow up to be a mom and have kids then I will be the boss of them!" ~4
Cadie: "Hey mommy, where's your chocolate pudding?"
me: "I didn't get any"
Cadie: "OH NO!! Here, mommy, you can have mine." ~4
Cadie: (while playing make-believe with David - who always wants to play bad guys. Cadie tries to humour him even though she really wants to play babies.) "Come on sweetheart, I'm your bad-guy mom. I'm so bad I do lots of bad things... like take ropes off of things...and put them on other things..." ~4
me "eesh, I think someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning..."
Cadie: "NO I DIDN'T! I DIDN'T EVEN SLEEP UNDER MY BED AT ALL EVER!" ~4
Dad: "So at conference we will hear-
Cadie: "THE PROPHET, PRESIDENT MONSON!"
Dad: "And he will teach us about -
Cadie: "BONES!" ~4
Cadie: "Oh Jay, (one of her uncles who she has a crush on) I'm so glad we got to spend this time together. Too bad I didn't get to spend that much time with you though." ~4
