We’ve been Elbow for almost one week, and Little K’s just learning up a storm.
Grandma taught him to say, “Oooh” when he sees things he likes, so now he constantly puckers up his little lips and says, “Ah-oooh…”
Today, he woke up from his nap and really wanted some milk. Usually, he does his "Please" sign over and over again, but today, he actually added on the first sign I ever taught him - but it's the first time he's ever done it: the sign for "milk!" So here's a note to self - even if it LOOKS like he's not paying attention, he actually is!!
Also today, he learned to show off his muscles and say “Arrrrr!” when we ask him, “How strong is Kaeden?”
AND, the best thing he did today was when I left the room, and he yelled out, “Mama!!” I love it. He did it one more time, but won’t do it again. At least for tonight.

Responsible & Independent
That's my boy. Responsible and independent.
Lately, whenever he's tired and ready for a nap/sleep or if I say "It's time for night-night," he'll toddle off to his own room with his thumb in his mouth.
We've had to vacate his room right now because there are major cracks in the cement and so there are leaks and mold. So, in only about 3 days, he's now learned to toddle off to his new room in the walk-in closet! He's such a smart cookie.
Tonight, I was feeling a bit down, and he somehow sensed that and leaned over with both his chubby hands around me, then gave me a kiss on the cheek. We can't decide when he first learned to kiss, but some days there's a smack sound, while on other days, it's still more like a slobber. His favourite way to kiss is to blow air onto your face!

Party On!
We started the morning off with Kaeden figuring out that spinning in circles is a lot of fun. For almost an hour, he would spin in a circle, (with breaks in between), and crack up laughing.
This evening, we were invited for a dinner party at the Wardles. There were 17 people (adults & kids) – including the Muir & Michael clans, and later were joined by four more – the Multras. Kaeden had a blast running around the place playing with all these older kids ranging from 6 to 14!)
At one point, he was sitting in a chair with little M. Muir, a 6-year-old. She was holding an Oreo, and he suddenly saw it. He started rubbing his chest to say “please!!!!!”, but she had no clue that it meant that. He couldn’t wait any longer, so little K just grabbed the cookie out of her hand, and the look of shock and delight on little M was just precious. She was quick enough to steal it back before he could shove it in his mouth.
Later, I thought he had found food on the floor and was putting it in his mouth, but it was M. Multra (a 10-year-old), who was feeding him another Oreo! About 10 minutes later, she came over to me holding little K. Little K’s face was just smeared with Oreo, and she proudly told me that “he ate the whole cracker, AND the other side, and he even ate all the middle too!” It was hilarious. I laughed at his dirty face, and she informed me that this smeared look was her attempt at cleaning him off. Needless to say, he had a thrilling night.
