"I help Mommy, I help!" are the words I often hear. Kaden hands me the clean dishes from the dishwasher as I put them away. He pulls the clothes out of the dryer telling me who they belong to, "That Daddy's!" "That Avery's!" He has starting pulling the vacuum cleaner out of the hall closet saying, "I vacuum clean, Mommy. I vacuum clean!" When I offer to help him with a task he often replies, "Kaden do!"
In fact, he loves Bob the Builder so much, he sleeps with Bob and even takes Bob to the potty!
A few weeks ago I asked Kaden, "Who loves you the most?" of course I fully intended to hear my name in response, but instead he said, "Jesus!"Last week he and Ashton were playing with magnets on the 'frig. Ashton started to count them and Kaden joined in.
Ashton: "One..."
Kaden: "Two,"
Ashton: "Three, four..."
Kaden: "Five,"
Ashton: "Six, seven, eight..."
Kaden: "Nine, ten!"
What Kaden calls his family members:
Daddy -- "Dad" or "Daddy"
Mommy -- "Mom" or "Mommy"
Kassie -- "Dass"
Brady -- "B"
Ashton -- "Asht"
Avery -- "Avery"
Bryson -- "Avery" (Yes, he calls them BOTH Avery!)
Kenzie -- "Dee Dee"
He also says "Aunt Bonnie", "Nan Nan", "Nana" and "Pappy"
Kaden has such great manners, using please and lots of thank yous. The other day he was sitting on the couch watching Bob the Builder. I asked if he wanted to cover with a blanket and he replied, "Yes, thank you Mom!"
Kaden makes all the usual animals sounds: Moo, Meow, Woof, baa, neigh, quack. He often pretends to be either a dog or cat. He LOVES the neighbor's calico cat that hangs out on our deck. He fusses and cries for someone to take him outside to be with "Callie".
Kaden names the common parts of the face: eye, nose, ear, chin, mouth, and also always includes "eyebrow"!
Kaden pretends to be Daddy by putting on a pair of his safety glasses.
He enjoys baking with Mommy, pulling a chair over to the mixer and insisting on dumping in the ingredients.
Our entire family has, and does, take great pleasure in watching Kaden grow. One of the first things Ashton will ask when she comes in the door from school is, "What did Kaden do or say today?" Each day is a new adventure! We love you Kaden!

Aw, what a fun age! I enjoyed reading all of his accomplishments.
So sweet! Isn't blogging such a great way to track awesome stages in life?
The Jesus answer takes the all-time prize! You are doing another amazing job as a parent.
I have to sadly admit it was hard not to cry as I was reading this. Kaden just turned two & can say all of that. Aaron, who's four, is barely able to be understood. My heart stings a bit at his issues. They just told us on Thursday they are checking him for autism. oh my.
