cadence has become so mature & reasonable! I can definitely reason with her in a way I couldn’t when she was 3. For example, she’s been petrified of the doc bc of shots. I told her she had to go and she calmly told me she’d cry like a cry baby and that she’d poop in the shot. I’m happy she didn’t start freaking out about it. She also remembers that Adam ripped the bandaid off last year and told him not to this year.
cadence told Jane she didn’t need any holidays just wanted me to snuggle her. ❤️❤️❤️
cadence has a bunch of smash balls all over our house. They started leaking so (I thought) we threw them all away and I gave her a new one. She runs over to me and tells me a smash ball is leaking! I ask her if she’s sure it’s not the new one that got wet and she replied she could tell it was an old one bc the face had already started to wear off.
I read Cadence the giving tree. When I was done I asked why she thought the tree gave her branches, etc to the boy. She said, bc she loved him? I said yes, like I love you. I’d give you everything. She said she wouldn’t ask me for my branches bc she wouldn’t want me to be sad like the tree. ❤️❤️❤️

After Cadence didn’t wear her costume at school, Jane convinced her to go trick or treating and dress up. She dressed as a kitty. After her first successful candy retrieval, she got into it. We were out for a little over an hour before she got too cold.
Cadence made an observation while we were trick or treating — she noticed some people gave her candy and put it in her bag and some let her choose. She was wondering why that was. She’s so smart.
And she’s sweet. She gave Adam all her kit kat bars and said “eat as much as you want daddy” ❤️❤️❤️
cadence has always been someone who does things on her own timetable and can’t be rushed. Jane has been trying to teach her letters for awhile but she’s been uninterested.
this year she seems ready! I was worried I’d have to homeschool her since she seemed to have little interest in school. This year she loves corner coop & wants to go on her off days! She’s finally taken an interest in letters and numbers. She’s picked up the concept of adding and can recognize quantities without pointing and counting.
Shes too smart!
Cadence wants a cabbage patch kid so real doll for her bday (Jane has already purchased it). I told her I really wanted one when I was little but we didn’t have enough money. I remember mom made me one w a lipstick kiss on the butt. And then someone (aunt louanne?) bought me a boy cabbage patch kid doll but I wanted a girl. Cadence told me she’d buy me one. ❤️💛💚💙💜
