September 1 - 15, 2016 - 2 years 2 months

Kadin wanted to play with a hairband and loved trying to see himself in the mirror with a ponytail. 
We went berrying picking and there weren't any left because someone had arrived before us!  I actually got to see the black bear briefly as he/she was sneaking by, trying to avoid us.

Kadin slept through most of the berry picking and bear sighting!

As we made our way home, Kadin had a big tantrum about something… can't even remember what.  

Best cure for the tantrum blues…. SNACKTIME!

Kadito, el cocinero.  Kadin loves anything to do with cooking!

Kadin and Farah running around naked together… what cute little tooshies!

My mini garden - chives and sorrel!  

Kadin helps in the office at daycare.

More blueberry picking!  This time, we were up on the tundra.  It was still late in the season and we didn't get enough to keep us happy for the whole winter, but it certainly was fun!  Kadin has learned that instead of picking them and eating them, he can just confiscate our jar and eat and eat and eat!!!

It's autumm and all the plants are turning.  This is Kadin's favorite… high bush cranberry.

Kadin "wearing" his undies!   
Gorgeous double rainbow made my day when everything else happening was rotten. Can't have rainbows without rain, right?!

Kadin enjoying the rainbow.

Short attention span! Been there, done that, time to go home now Mama...
Best buds, snuggling at bedtime.

The video is of Kadin chasing a laser pointer… and figuring out it's just a speck of light.

August 16 - 31, 2016 - 2 years 1 month (Part 1)

Boy can he fly!! 

Any chance to take his clothes off... 
Me! Me! I want to throw the glider plane! Me!

Hanging out with Farah, Dean, and Ben.  

Helmet?  Check. 
Yum!  High bush cranberries! 
I finally got some clothes on him, but it seems as if I've lost the helmet now...

OK, it's hard to make sense of this photo, but it made me laugh so hard.  I was trying to read a urine test under the microscope and I looked down to see a little naked boy squatting next to me with my crocs on backwards and an antibiotic label on his nose.  Looking up at me so earnestly.  Jeez, I love this kid!

Buenos dias!  Off to daycare today.

Kadin ended up getting Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease – a viral rash that ended up spreading to the entire daycare to the point that they shut down for a day to disinfect.  After he was cleared as no longer contagious, he went back to daycare and tried to inspect everyone else to see if they had a rash as well!  Here, he's lifting up Soleil's shirt to examine her back for itchies.

July 13, 2016 - July 15, 2016 - 2 YEARS OLD!!! A 3-DAY CELEBRATION...

Happy 2nd Birthday, mi amor!!!


We had a mini party for him on the 13th… with carrot cake and paper airplanes, a bunch of kiddos and a baby pool.  Fun, Fun, Fun.



The morning of his actual birthday, the 14th, we enjoyed a mellow morning with leftover cake for breakfast and silly antics with balloons.  I haven't laughed so hard in a long time!!  
(you have to see the video to really get the silliness)


He received a cute card that sang out "Happy Birthdaaaaaayyy" and within minutes, my little engineer had taken it apart and found the battery and circuit board.



We then packed up the car and headed to Byer's Lake, for two nights of camping, pack rafting in the warm water, and enjoying the long summer days.  
Kadin's friend Farah came up with her mom Rachel to help celebrate!












This is Kadin's new "smile for the camera" face...
Kadin had found a speck of pollen and carried it all the way to the lake.  He'd drop it and miraculously, we'd look around and find it every time!
Making friends with a random doggie...



Kadin's first marshmellow roasting!
