Conversations With a Three (and a half) Year Old

- Caden was eating cereal one morning and his bowl was too far from him, causing him to spill the majority of his food on the table before it made it to his mouth.

Daddy: "Caden, your bowl is too far away, what should you do?"

Caden: "Um....eat my food?"

Daddy: "No, what should you do if your bowl is too far away?"

Caden: "Um...say my memory verse?"

Daddy: "....what?"


- Caden and Ms. Amber were sitting on a bench at Lake Ella, watching the ducks in the water. They were sitting quietly, enjoying some icecream when suddenly Caden looks out at a duck and screams:

"NO, I CANNOT SWIM WITH YOU WITH MY CLOTHES ON!!!"

Ms. Amber: "Caden, did that duck just talk to you?"

Caden: "Yes" (pointing to a specific duck) "That one."


- We sat Caden down and told him that he was going to be a big brother. He was very excited and asked if he could see the baby. We told him the baby was too little to come out of Mommy's tummy but he could see a picture. I held out the ultrasound picture and he looked it up and down.

Caden: "That is a SCARY baby"

Mama: "You're right. It does look a little scary now."

Caden: "Ya, it needs to grow some more."
