Caden and "Baby"

So we're referring to our girl as "Owlie" because that's our theme for some of the nursery stuff. And Caden and Owlie have bonded-she is the little girl outfit he is kissing on and waking up. They watch shows together, he pushes her in the swing, takes her to the library and helps her play with her baby toys. It is all so cute....we can only hope he will be this loving with the actual baby!!

Baby Girl Coming

She's coming in less than 3 weeks. Here's how our "nursery/other half of our bedroom" is shaping up!
Caden is really helpful with our pretend baby so far.

Boy Genius *Brag Alert*

This is the email from the school director at the Y. If she can't wait to boast just imagine how we feel!!
Disclaimer: We don't know EXACTLY what the Peabody Picture Test is...but we're convinced it's equivalent to being a baby Einstein.

I can't wait to boast about this....Caden broke the record on his recent Peabody Picture Test this past week....he scored up to the age 19 level!!!!!

Peggy, the tester, was surprised how many musical instruments he recognized! I also notice his social skills are starting to soar. He was fooling around with Fernando during my morning read aloud in quiet area Thursday morning. I winked at Jackie and we were both so happy to see him kabitzzing with his buddy!

The new baby will be a definite Baby Genius thanks to her big brother's role modeling!

We're so proud of him and got just as much excitement from the fact that he is kabitzzing (??) with his new found friends and buddies. This baby sister certainly will have a great role model!
