Number 3

The other day Cade was shooing me out of the bathroom. He said, "hurry and get out Mommy because I gotta go just number 1". I started teasing him and said, "oh, not number 2? Just number 1?" He repeated that he just had to go number 1 and I asked him what number 3 was and he replied, "Number 1 is pee, number 2 is poo, and number 3 is green poo but I don't have to poo so I don't have to do number 2 or number 3!" He was so serious in the conversation I had to walk away to laugh. It's funny because we have never called it 'going number 1 or number 2' so I guess he heard it somewhere else.

My tummy has a headache

"Mom I can't eat that 'cuz what if it gives my tummy a headache like I had last time?"

(I was offering him the rest of a Gerber fruit leather that I had tried to give Cloee to see if she would/could eat it and this was his reply. Apparently the fruit leather didn't look so appealing. He did in fact have a really terrible tummy ache yesterday.)

The other day in the car we were listening to the song "Ghostbusters". Then we turned it off and it was very quiet. All of the sudden Cade started a conversation that went like this:
Cade: Mom, are the Ghostbusters real people?
Mommy: No, honey they aren't real. Ghosts aren't real either. It's just a made up song from a movie. Why do you ask?
Cade: Cuz I wanna call them but they didn't tell the phone number in the song.
Mommy: Why do you want to call them?
Cade: So they will come and BUST Carlee.
Mommy: But they only bust ghosts.
Cade: I will do something like put a white sheet on her so they will think she is a ghost. I just really want them to bust her.
Mommy: Well they aren't real. Sorry son.
Cade: Awwww Shucks!

Bath Time!

Long boobs

I take a bath nearly every night before bed- my time to relax. Cade woke up and had to go potty and somehow decided he would walk clear to my bathroom. He found me in the bathtub and was talking to me as I soaked. At some point he looked at my boobs (totally empty after just nursing Cloee before she went to bed) and asked why my boobs were so long. Immediately I wrote a quick note to self: when your 5 year old son sees your boobs and thinks they look weird, you might want to think seriously about getting them fixed! Maybe that boob job is a possibility. Will has asked me if I wanted one but I always said that I would rather have this or that done instead (I won't tell you what my flaws are because then you will look at them the next time you see me!) I have never been against getting one, I just haven't thought a whole lot about it. My boobs were always huge throughout high school and college and clear up until after I had Carlee. Then maybe from nursing they got small- like 2 sizes smaller, at least. I loved having small boobs after that. But I never have liked how they look naked. Will doesn't care which is nice, but I do. So, if you ever see me and all of the sudden they look really nice and round and beautiful then that means I just had my boobs done.

Where's my little woman?

A few weeks ago Cade came up to me while I was loading the dishwasher and asked, "Mommy, where's my little woman?" He was so serious. I played dumb and asked who his little woman was and he replied by saying, "my little woman is Cloee". Like duh!!

Cade's First Day of Half-Day Kindergarten

The MANY faces of Cade



Big Sis and Brother Bear are so sweet together




He made it home in one piece!

Just remembering

I was just remembering....
When I was in the hospital I would talk to you and Carlee every night before bed and one night when you and I were talking I told you I love you and you said "I love you more than that!" From then on every time we'd talk and I would tell you I love you then that is what you would say. It was so cute. You still say it every now and again but not like over the phone when I was in the hospital.

Got Allergies?

Cade just said the funniest thing to me and he was dead serious when he said it.
"Everybody on the earth is allergic to broken glass."

Wii

Cade has been having fun this summer. We have done lots of fun things together as a family and I have taken them to do things but if we didn't then Cade could be perfectly happy staying home every day just playing the Wii. He is really good at all the games and loves when friends come over and want to play it with him.

Cleaning robot

Will and I and the kids were driving home from somewhere the other night and out of the blue Cade says, "Daddy, I wish you and me could make a robot together. We should make one that can help me clean my room." Then the next day I was telling Cade not to bother Cloee while she was sleeping because I really needed to get some cleaning done while the baby was asleep and he said, "Mom don't you wish you had a robot?" I played dumb and said, "A robot for what?" he says, "a cleaning robot." I answered by telling him I had Carlee to clean for me- just to tease her and make her mad. But YES I do wish I had a cleaning robot. Why don't you and daddy get on that? A fortune could be made on an invention like that!

Cade's Name

William Cade
When naming Cade we had a hard time. Will wanted his first boy named after him. Will is a junior and wanted his boy to be "the third". Well, I don't care so much for Will's full name (William Clifton Filippone) so I really, really, really didn't want to name my son after him. I asked him if we could use his first name and middle initial which is 'C' and he said that was fine. I came up with a few names such as Cooper, Cruse, and Cade. Will liked Cade the best but didn't ever want him to be called Cade-ee, we don't have too many problems with that, thank goodness. At the time the name Caden was very popular, but it sounded a bit too feminine for my taste. Cade sounded so much rougher and tougher. It totally fits his physique now. The only problem we have is that Cade was born on his daddy's birthday so we have William C. Filippone, Jr. and William C. Filippone both born July 22nd. Crazy huh!? Health insurance constantly gets them confused. Oh, well. What are we gonna do about it now?

Father & Sons Outing

Last month daddy took you on the ward Father & Sons outing. You went up a few days earlier than the rest of the ward and Grandpa Ron and Grandma Joann met you up there and you all did some fishing. You had a great time and caught some fish too. Then you all went back to the hauler and cooked and ate the fish for dinner. Here are some pictures of the great day!

I love you at 100

Cade you are getting so smart. You love numbers! Often you measure how much you love someone with a number- it is usually 100. Today you told me that you love me at 100 and I replied by saying I love you at 200- hoping you would realize that it was more than 100. Well, you didn't get it and you said you love me "at eight and eleven". It was so funny to me so I laughed and you asked why I laughed and then said, "What, that's not a lot?". I told you it's not very much. So then you said, "Fine mom, I love you all the way at the finish line." So cute you are.
PS- You are in loving on (aka bugging) your baby sis, as always!!

Swim Lessons, Loving Mommy

You are doing so great at swim lessons, son. You are so funny because you wake up early and get your swimmin' suit on and then come wake me up and tell me it's time to go. Well, I always have to break your heart and tell you that it isn't until 11:00. You ask me- "ok mom, should I watch 3 shows and then we can go to swim?" "Yes buddy boy, go watch a few shows." You eventually get lost in your shows and I have to rush you out the door to swim. We walk together and I always make sure that I am closest to the street. After a few days you have caught on and now tell me to get by the street. You are the cutest thing. I just lubba you! even though you love Cloee the mostest. You tell me you love Cloee 100 and you love me like a 1 and a 1 (eleven, I guess) but you think it is right up there by 100. I tell you its not much and you tell me it's ok because you love me second after Cloee. Ok son I'll take that!

Cloee, will you marry me?

Cade loves Cloee so much! He bugs her like all day long. I have to hide her from him so she can get some rest. We have rules that if she is eating or sleeping then he can't kiss and bug her, but he still breaks those rules. He just can't help it. He wants to hold her hand or touch her as he watches tv. It is the cutest thing, but gets irritating to me. As soon as I put her in the swing or in her seat he is right there bugging her. He says things like, "Cloee will you marry me?" Then he answers and says, "Yes you will because you love me and I love you." So cute. We try to tell him that you can't marry your sister and he says, "Well I love her though!" He is a very sweet brother. When he picks her up and carries her around he does pretty good. He is stable and I trust he won't drop her but she could be screaming away and he will just sing to her or talk to her. I always think that he is going to get tired of the crying and bring her to me but he never does. I finally have to take her away from him. When she cries I will ask him why she's crying and he says he doesn't know so I tell him to ask her what's wrong and so he asks her and of course she doesn't answer, she just keeps on crying. I ask him what she said and he gets kind of confused and says, "I don't know cuz she won't tell me." It cracks me up. Pretty soon he will figure me out and won't ask her because he will realize she can't and won't answer him.

One eye is tired

Tia was over tonight and it was very late- like midnight. She asked you if your eyes were getting tired and you responded by saying, "No just my one eye." So cute you are! I hope you don't grow out of your cute little sayings. You are almost 5! Oh my little boy is growing up. Ahhhh!
