I told Cadence she could only pour half of the remaining bubbles into her bath. She asked me what half meant. I thought about how to explain it. Then I showed her a circle with my hand & showed her a half circle with my hand, explaining that it was half.

Later that night, she was asking Adam to come to Cleveland for half the time & did the half circle with her hand. He said he had to work a lot (a full circle w. hand) and couldn’t. She told him to work a lot (a full circle) and then to come to Cleveland for half. He said it didn’t work like that.

I was impressed she understood more or less to apply the concept that day!

out w the old, in w the new!

Adam pointed out that Cadence asks people to repeat themselves so much that she shortened “what did you say?” To “say?”

Jane and I hope that her hearing problem is related to her cold and nothing long term.

So proud of our girl.

for about a month now, I’ve been trying to give Cadence compliments that are unrelated to her appearance. This was in reaction to her saying she was the prettiest all the time. At first, she was mad that I wasn’t saying she was pretty or cute. Then this morning she and steph were playing dolls. Steph asked if she was pretty and Cadence told her she’s other things besides pretty. I’m pretty sure I’m winning at this motherhood thing.
