Kade talks up a storm these days. For the most part, he speaks fairly clearly, but there are certain sounds he has not quite mastered. Here are some of the current Kade-isms.
"I want goggog!" We hear this at basically every meal. And now, Marleigh has even began calling hot dogs, "goggogs".
"Gen!!! Gen, please!" This Bubba talk is normally heard while playing with Daddy. After Daddy throws him up in the air or tickles him, Kade asks for it, "again". This one is also mostly heard in between his infectious giggles!
"Mom. Mom! Mom.....Hey Mom!" (It so reminds me of that commercial for that animated show on TBS.) When Kade decides it is time to get up in the morning, he starts very quietly in his bed calling for me. He increases the speed and loudness until I come into his room. When I open the door, he greats me every morning with a big smile and another "Mom!" Only this time when he says it, he says it with more relief and happiness.
Mickey is "Ick-ey" with a pause in the middle. Marleigh tries to help. She says, "No, Kade. Say 'Mickey'." (She totally emphasizes the m.) Then Kade gives her a funny look and repeats, "Ick-ey". Marleigh then throws her hands in the air, clearly frustrated.
Just in the last week or two, he has started hollering for his sister, and boy is he persistant! "Sissy. Sissy! Sissy!! SISSY!!!" He continues nonstop until Marleigh gets to him. Marleigh being the sweet, people pleaser she is always goes running to him, no matter where he is. I'm pretty sure Kade has figured that out and yells for her just to mess with her.
Some Bubba speak is already on the way out. "Ooce" was juice for a long time, but just a few days ago, he clearly said, "I want juice, please." And just like that, no more "ooce". He now clearly says he is ready for his "bath" instead of his "baff". He also now wants to "color" not "olor".
I know I've probably missed some, but I wanted to get these down before I forgot anymore!

Last night I took the kids up to watch Garrett's baseball game. We took a blanket and a few toys. The game was at 6:30, so I bathed them before we went, because I knew it would be around 8 (which is bedtime), by the time the game was over. What was I thinking?!? I have had Kade as a son now for almost 2 years, and I really thought it would be wise to give him a bath before taking him to a ballgame? For the most part, Marleigh sat with me and played a little and talked to my cousin, Jenni. Kade was constantly on the go. He found some mud and dug in it. Smeared it all over his hands and legs. Then he proceeded to eat it. I asked him if it tasted good, and he grinned ear to ear, a big muddy smile and said, "Yeah!" He then found a light pole and began licking it. A little concerned he might get a splinter in his tongue, mean ol' Mom shut that one down. I asked Marleigh, "What are we going to do with that brother of yours?" She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Well, Mom. I guess all we can do is love him." And we do! :) He definitely keeps life interesting!
