Best Shot(s) Monday--Just Can't Get Enough

On Saturday, Cadence and I went to the Kohl's Children's Museum in Glenview, IL, just down the road from my mom's place. It was our first time there, and Cadence had a blast.

There was so much to do, from the moment you walk in. Like all these little doors to open and close? That was even before we went through the admission line. I had to watch Cadence like a hawk because she'd see something cool from a distance and just bolt in that direction.

We were only there for a couple hours because my mom was expecting us for lunch, and boy, was it was hard to get Cadence to leave. I think we could easily spend a good four hours there on a regular basis. Plus, they have Kim & Scott's Twisting Cafe which sells gourmet pretzels. Holy cow, the best darn pretzels I've had in my LIFE. And they're made with quality, fresh ingredients! Check your grocer's frozen goods department and you may find some there.

So here's the latest thing that Cadence said that got me cracking up:

Ted: I'm pooped.
Cadence: Then go to the potty.

This kid. I just can't get enough of her.

And the Sickness Continues...

Yep. Cadence is still sick. And I have a sore throat. I'm pumping my body full of Emergen-C in hopes that things don't get any worse.

But here's a funny little incident that occurred around the dinner table this evening.

Ted: I think I want some i-c-e-c-r-e-a-m...
Cadence: Yeah! I want some ICE CREAM!!!
(Ted and I look at each other in amused horror)
Ted: Cadence, what does i-c-e-c-r-e-a-m spell?
Cadence: ICE CREAM!!!

I guess we're gonna have to brush up on our Pig Latin...

Talk to the Screen

Joe (from Blue's Clues): What's YOUR favorite part of bedtime?
Cadence (to Joe): I drink ma-ma-ma!*

*ma-ma-ma is Cadence's word for boob/nursing/etc.

Well, I guess it's good to know how much 'ma-ma-ma' means to Cadence. Lord knows no one would get any sleep around here without it. And don't worry. She does know how to sleep without it. But if she doesn't have to, why should she? I think we forget how young almost-three really is. Anyhoo, this post really isn't about extended breastfeedng. I just happened to hear Cadence say this while we were watching some tube together, and so I was just making a quick post cuz I thought it was so funny. You kinda had to be there. And most likely you kinda have to be me to really appreciate the humor of it all, I guess.
