January 26 - February 9, 2019 – 4 years 7 months: Barra de Potosí, Mexico, Part 2

The best quote…. after I had my hair braided with cornrows…

Me:  Te gusta mi pelo así, Kadito?  (Do you like my new hair style Kadito?)
Kadito:  No.
Me:  No? Porque?
Kadito:  Porque mis amigos in Miss Charity's class van a laugh at me.
Me: Porque?
Kadito:  Porque you are so beautiful.

Said to me in the bathroom at Chula Vida, the night of the Super Bowl, January 2019

October 28 - 31, 2017 - 3 years 3 months - HALLOWEEN!

April 16 - May 3, 2017 - 2 years 9 months

Kadin loves helping me carry things out to the car.

Baby chicks at Mia's house!

Yummy birch sap - and this year, Kadin had his own tap where he could take a drink whenever he wanted.

So much mud!  Here, he lost his shoe for the first time… I think one of the videos is of him losing his shoe the second time. 

Lots of fun in the mud means a mini-bath in the bucket at home.  Which for Kadin, just means even more fun!

Kadin sat through his first movie - watching a bicycling documentary with Sky.  He would burst out laughing whenever the crowd laughed, even if he probably didn't get the joke.  Too cute.

Resting while I carted him home after a fun bike ride.  I think he is wearing a complete change of clothes after all the mud!

After a lot of pleading, I relented and gave Kadin a knife so he could help me cut up the zucchini.  Now if only he liked to EAT the zucchini…

Video #1: Kadin isn't sure he should try to cross a really big puddle, does it anyway.  At the end, when he runs back into the puddle, I (unfortunately) stopped the video just before he fell into the puddle!

Video #2:  Kadin is working super hard (with sound effects, to boot) and gets a bit frustrated when he finally loses his shoe to the mud.


Video #3: The short version of fun with a salad spinner...

July 16 - 31, 2016 - 2 years old

Wholesome food at daycare

Our tadpoles are now froggies!! This is in the froggerarium I made for them in the house.

And a few days later, we released 3 little froggies near the pond on my property, where we had collected the eggs.

Good luck little froggie!

Kadin helped me let the froggies loose, enjoying the soft mossy area near the pond.

Every morning, Kadin jumps up and goes to the foot of the bed to hug Birch.

Just too cute, I can't stand it.  Oh, and look at Birch's little paws in the corner.  Birch loves Kadin just as much.

Here he is… my new associate veterinarian.  

This is the second shot, a bit blurry, but it has it's own appeal...

Apparently at daycare, when Kadin goes under the table, it's because he's pooping.  Hee hee.

Mia made the kids at daycare a yummy smoothie and Kadin was the only one who liked it!  That's because he's used to my concoctions with the Ninja!  

Kadin helps me pick up my local veggies… including this cabbage that is bigger than his head!

We went to drop off a bunch of recycling in Wasilla and they have a little nature trail with various creatures made from discarded scraps.  

Every so often, Kadin gets a sudden desire for green things and binges on them.  Here, he just attacked my salad and shoveled it in as fast as he could.
