Cade in November

• There is a country song that sings "When the sun goes down it will get a little hotter"  I was singing this one day and Cade said "No, it should be when the sun goes down it will get a little darker." 
• We were playing with alphabet magnets one day and he can find all of the letters in his name.  He can write a C A D and E but they all face different directions and are randomly placed on the paper.
• He can do up buttons on his shirt
• He was playing with his dump truck one day.  It is a fisher price toy and had a little person that can drive it.  He told me that the guy stands up to drive it because he can't sit down because he doesn't have a bum.
• We have a laundry hamper made of pvc pipe with a mesh bag.  I think this is one of the favorite toys in the house.  One day Cade pulled it apart so he had the top square and 2 long leg pieces and Cami had the bottom part.  Within a few minutes he had made that into a vacuum, a lawn mower, a picnic table, a garage, a chair, a truck and a tunnel.  He has quite an imagination!
• We took the kids fishing a few weeks ago and Cade was in heaven all day.  He got to eat lunch sitting on a rock and using another rock as his table.  We brought his sand tractors and he got to dig in the dirt.  He also filled up a Ziploc bag with dirt from all around the car over and over. 
• We had Jack-O-Lantern pancakes for Halloween with chocolate chip faces.  Cade ate away his pancake and showed us how it just had eyes left.  Then he ate one of the eyes and said "Look, Mike Wazouski!"
• Cade loves to play hide-and-seek.  We played for about 45 minutes one Sunday evening.  Cami loves it too, but you have to watch her because she cheats!
• We got to bring home a new tractor book from the library and Cade thinks it is awesome!
• He told me he was going landscaping.  He put his feet into 2 boxes and started sliding around.  I was a little confused.  Today we had freezing rain and Kirk was sliding around on the ice.  He told me that Daddy was landscaping.  I think he means ice skating.
• He loves to build a garage out of blocks and park all of his cars in it.  Cami would rather build a tower with the blocks and sometimes they don't get along very well. 
• We went to the mall Christmas parade and Cade was so excited to see Santa!  A few mascots from local teams were also in the parade and Cade wasn't too sure about them.  Cami loved them and after Cade saw how excited Cami was he thought it was ok to give them a high five.  
• Cade still loves preschool and his church class.  He still gets a little nervous when strangers come over, but he loves to be with his friends.  He doesn't play much with them, but still enjoys spending time with them.
