Life is never dull with Cayden around. His totally enchanting smile disarms you when you want to discipline him. How can you stay tough with a little guy who takes your hand and looks up saying, "Die Dove Do, Am-Ma"? (I love you, Grandma) He has a speech problem is going to speech therapy now and is getting better all the time. I treasure his little mispronunciations because I know they won't always be there and are something to be treasured while I have them. Right now, he starts most words with "D". Uncle Scott is "Duncle Dott." Grandpa is "OOm-Pa." He pats my ample stomach and says with a big smile, "Do Dat" (You fat) The funniest thing that happened this weekend was that while playing with Grandpa, Cayden looked down and saw a hair from Grandpa's beard in his hands. He raises his eyebrows and says "Ah-oh..." and gets this stricken-look on his face. I can only imagine what he was thinking. Did he think that Grandpa was unraveling? Had he broken something? Did he think Grandpa was going to mad at him? You could tell whatever the outcome, he didn't think it was going to be good.

It is so hard to be upset at him! He smiles at you and you can't help but melt! He actually says, "Me dub you, Dam-ma" and "Dundle Dot"...he can't say the "c" sound and half the time you can't hear the "t" on Scott. He is articulating so much better now though.
He's so beautiful, Paula! And yes, you're absolutely right to cherish him now, becuase he'll grow up to speak perfectly, and you'll forget the little "Cayden-isms" that he once spoke.
