Lunch Date.

So Kadence got to have a little lunch play date with her BFF Dylan. It's so great to be able to get the two girls together -- I really feel like KK can learn a lot from someone a little older than her. Kadence isn't at the sharing stage really yet and I know she's not suppose to be though. It's funny to watch her just "take" things from D -- if I was Dylan, I'd just push her little butt down and tell her 'no' but that's not the case. It's not that she truly wants what she has or is playing with but more just the idea that she doesn't want her to have it. The two of them chased each other around and ate O's together. Dylan even tried to teach her how to color with crayons on her new easel and they attempted some Legos (KK's first time).

When all is said and done, the main purpose of lunch was to see if KK and Dylan's nanny Peggy would mesh well and for me to get to know her a little bit. Everything went great and it looks like we're going to do a trial run of her spending one day a week over there with them (starting in two weeks). This couldn't come at a better time!! I'm currently running NBS and helping Jason manage the books for his other two ventures -- not to mention trying to run a household by keeping everything clean and everyone fed, errands and chasing around a 13 month old and meeting her demands. And trust me, I do mean DEMANDS. haha

New teeth count: I finally tipped the nugget upside down and tickled her today and she definitely has 3 maybe 4 new ones and a ton of white under her gums.

Kadence continues to crack me up with her new level of independence. I do feel like I've somehow wronged her though by not getting on the ball with basic sign language. I know how frustrated she is sometimes with not being able to communicate what she wants or needs -- and trust me, it's equally frustrating for me as well. I guess I'll just keep plugging away at my checklist each time she sounds off the alarm (her mouth). Good news is, she's finally decided that the 'no spill' sippy cups are for her -- so that's eliminated a lot of mess and chaos in our lives.

Until next time. xo
