"Hanging" Out with Daddy

Caden's First Hockey Game

Last Friday evening, Caden went to his first Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins hockey game with Daddy, Nana, and Papa. He was soooo excited!

a little excited

It looks like he can't take his eyes off the ice.

This little vehicle Tux drove was one of the first things he told me about the game.

Of course he loved the zamboni! Jason said he kept asking when it was going to come out.
When I asked him the next morning what it was like, he said, "It was like being in the Arctic!" :)

Abigail Pics

Here are a few pictures of what Abigail's been up to lately:

Silly girl!

Wipe

We have 4 of Tad Hills' Duck and Goose books. If you haven't had the chance to read these, I highly recommend them. The illustrations are the cutest. Anyhow, there's a page with a picture of a bush and 7 purple berries. Next to the bush is a very messy duck and a very messy goose. Whenever we get to that page, Abigail tries to clean them off with her hand. Tonight she went a step further by getting a baby wipe out and wiping them down. She wasn't too thrilled that they wouldn't get clean, but accepted the fact that they were really dirty and a wipe just wasn't going to cut it!
*She also tried to wipe off another book last night where this cute little wombat is covered in mud. I hope this doesn't become an obsession :)

Smoothies! (finally)

Caden came up with something for me to put on my Christmas List this past Christmas...a blender. When I opened it up Christmas morning you would've thought it was the best toy ever! He jumped up and down and cheered :) The reason for his excitement? He's been asking for smoothies for months now. He finally got his wish! We've had them multiple times since.

Yes, he is using a table knife but under close supervision!

I think he likes it!

"Why can't I get any?"

"Thanks for adding milk to mine, Mom. It's much better."

Abigail

If I had to describe Abigail in just one word, I would say caring. As you can tell from this picture, she takes very good care of her dolls and stuffed animals (although she does toss Funny Bunny (FB) over her shoulder while holding the ears, tries to "ride" FB, holds onto FB by the ears around her neck so it looks like a backpack, holds onto the ears and kicks it along in front of her, etc. - guess that's her way of showing love). Anyhow, Caden also benefits from Abigail's caring nature. She enjoys picking up his shoes/coat and putting them in the closet, cleans up his dirty laundry off the floor and puts them in the hamper, and also picks up his PJ's and puts them under his pillow. I love seeing her grab his water bottle and hold it up to his mouth so he doesn't even have to move. She picks up his bowl after he's done with his snack and takes it to the kitchen too. It's fun to see...but I think Caden might be taking advantage of it!
