| Those bloody leeches! I can't remember if we kept the one that did this to Kadin as a pet or not. At least they are kind enough to apply a topical anesthetic first. Didn't hurt at all. |
 |
| I found a leech on Kadin's nether regions and after letting him play with it a bit, Kadin asked me, "Can we keep him? I want to name him poopie-poopie." OK… time to Google "how to care for your pet leech." Wow, gotta love Google. I am NOT the first Mom to ask that question! |
 |
| We went to the Forest Fair in Girdwood this weekend and the kids just took over the place, running across the stage and having a blast. |
 |
| After the playground, Kadin wanted to check out the skatepark next door and was fascinated by all the tricks the skaters were doing on the ramps. I think we spent 2 hours here. The skaters loved him and even lent him a board to play around with. |
 |
| Mostly Kadito has way too much energy to sit and do art, but this was a rare after-lunch quiet moment and we spent about an hour at the kid's table, making an octopus and decorating butterflies. |
 |
| The kids had the chance to disect a squid at Library Hour today. Kadin LOVED it!!! |
 |
| Yoga class at the library with Miss Geri. Kadin did okay; some days he was really into it and others he just wanted to run around and do flips. This was an "into it" day as he does the table pose (the cat and cow were next!). |
 |
| Grayden, Dean, Kadito, and Ben climbing the fence together after T-Ball. |
 |
| Funny face selfies on the computer. |
 |
| Calvin, Kadito, and Jorie hanging out at Twister Creek. |
 |
| He gets a bit of screen time at the library, at home, and occasionally with friends, but usually in the car, a book, toy, or conversation are plenty to keep him entertained. |
 |
| Pride Day. He ran right up to these two guys to admire their bikes and they popped him on one for a photo op. |
 |
| Shut yer mouth, kid! (just kidding, he did it to himself, for fun!) |
 |
| Munching on some curly fries and at Live at 5. |
 |
| The dogs LOVE his dump truck! |
 |
| Mama, me do this? When me hombre? |
 |
| Spending quality time with Kadin, catching mosquitos as they feed on me, putting them into the spiderweb, and watching the spider wrap up the tasty morsel. Kadin now loves spiders and doesn't kill them. Yay! |
 |
| Hey Mama, is that plant thirsty? It want agua? (We had a sudden downpour of rain and he rain out onto the patio at Twister and was essentially showering in the drips from the rain gutter as he filled up the bucket to give to the plants.) |
 |
| How did he get so big? Relaxing and reading a book while I go inside and order us some food. |
 |
| Happy Birthday to me! "Jota para ti Mama!" ("J is for you Mom" |
 |
| Kadin loves hanging out with Mr. Ernie and his grandkids at the library. |
 |
| Proud Mama moment… I ordered breaded green beans for us at the Sheep Creek Lodge as a lame attempt to provide my child with a vegetable and guess what! He not only loved them but peeled the greasy breading off and ate only the green bean part and said, "Yummy!!" |
 |
| Later on, a band started up, playing fun rockabilly and lounge music and Kadin said, "Too loud" and would only watch from outside. (Can you spot him?!) |
 |
| My little helper these days… "Me help Mom, ok?" And he cleaned every window on my car, including the sideview mirrors. He started to try to wash the entire car, and I managed to convince him that he had already helped out plenty. |
 |
| OK, this might be one of my favorites… picturing him as a 30-year-old intellectual in his university office… absolutely too cute! |
 |
| We must have spent over an hour playing in an old log pile, climbing up and down, "catching fish in the lake" (the bottom of the pile was the lake, sticks were our catch), and getting Bucky to follow him down the rabbit hole. |
 |
| Buckarooni! |
 |
| Our new favorite bathing spot on the 2nd floor of the Fairview. It's my favorite because, one, I can get in the tub as well, and, two, they let me order a drink and bring it up to the bath. Heavenly! |
