Caden does laundry

So yesterday I wasn't feeling well. . .just a little stomach bug that was going around. . .I feel much better today though thankfully!

Anyways last night I switched over the laundry and started a load of the kids clothes. When I did that I had folded the load from the dryer and left all of them in Caden's floor to be put away today. This morning when I went into Caden's room I was at first a little unhappy because he unfolded all of my towels and wash clothes and it appears that he made some kind of mountain out of them and his cars and trucks were parked all over it. As I was refolding them and putting away little medal cars and trucks I noticed that Caden's pile of clothes next to the girls clothes was gone. So I asked him what happened to his clothes (I was kind of afraid that they ended up in the dirty clothes or something). Guess where they were? He put them all away! I couldn't believe it. No they weren't as neat and tidy as I would of liked but his jammies were in his jammies drawer, his shirts were in his shirt drawer, his pants where in the drawer with his pants and his underwear were put away in his top drawer! Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised. I have been having the girls put away their own laundry for quite a while but now it seems Caden can do his part too!

He has become such a big boy! He has been without his paci since last Saturday. He threw them all in the garbage with a little coaching but still he did it. He had a hard time the first day but since then he hasn't even asked for it. He still wants his blanket at nap/bed time but no big deal! I just kept telling him he was a big boy now that he sleeps in a big boy bed and wears big boy boxers. I told him the mum mum (Paci) was for babies and he wasn't a baby anymore. He did adopt a "little brother" baby Liam and says he needs a paci. . .I didn't fall for that one though we didn't give baby Liam a paci :)

So I guess Caden has given up that last "baby" item that I was letting him hang on to. I am proud to say that I am now a proud mommy to 3 very big, wonderful, beautiful children and that God has blessed me so much more than I deserve!

I am going to update soon about the boat race the girls were in this last week . . .I just haven't had time yet! I hope you all truly enjoy your day and have a great weekend!
