Dance Party

Dear Cadence,

Like most nights, there was a dance party in our house tonight. You danced around the living room like a little maniac and had a great time.

Then you asked Daddy to dance with you... And the two of you slow danced around the living room. It was so cute. You sure are a Daddy's girl.

I love you CMV and I hope these dance parties happen for many years to come!

Love Mommy

Dreams

Dear Cadence,

Well CMV, last night you had some pretty strange dreams... at least that's what I gather! At one point you woke up screaming, when I went into your room you were holding your tummy and talking to yourself. I asked what was wrong, you said you hurt your tummy. I put you into your bed and you were out. I'm sure you were sleep walking around your room.

Next time you woke up crying, I went into your room to find you folding laundry. Seriously the funniest thing ever! Again you were talking to yourself while doing it. I told you that you did a great job, you said thanks and went back to sleep in minutes. When you came into our bed later on I asked why you had been folding laundry, you looked at me like I was an idiot and said you didn't do that! Oh kid you crack me up!

I'm certain that you sleep walk and have the weirdest dreams! I love you Monkey!

Love Mom

Life has changed...

Dear Cadence,

As I sit here and think of how proud I am of you, I can't help but cry. You truly are wise beyond your years! And Daxton is so lucky to have such an amazing big sister.

Well it's been snowing here now for a couple days and it sure is cold outside. It most certainly is winter in Alberta!

We have been trying very hard over the past couple weeks to get you to sleep in your own bed, it's working for about 4-6 hours a night. We usually bath both you and Dax and have you both in bed by 7:30pm. Dax goes right to sleep, but you generally get up about 10-20 times before you fall asleep. Sometimes you get up for food or kisses & hugs or to go to the bathroom or just to say hi. You can be a stubborn little critter... I don't know where you got that from! :) Anyways, after a few hours in your own bed you always come down the hall to our bed, where you sleep for the rest of the night. I don't know if we will ever get out completely into your own bed....

Recently you showed Daddy and I how great you are at coloring in the lines... you were very proud of yourself, as were we.

Your getting to be such a big girl! And the best big sister around. Mommy is so proud of you and I love you very much.

Love Mommy
