Puddin’

Cadence told me tonight that she doesn’t like pudding because it’s a baby cow. After much questioning, I was reminded that there was a calf named Puddin’ on the “Bubble Guppies” once.

And there you have it. That’s why my daughter won’t eat pudding.

I can’t help but wonder if there are a million other stories like this that explain why she eats barely anything.

The curl is gone.

After ballet Saturday morning, we took Cady to get her hair cut. She normally loves them. This time the worst happened: they stole her curl. …or so she thought.

Things were okay in the beginning. She was studying Dora the Explorer pretty hard.

Then she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror and realized her “curls are gone.” She started furiously twirling her hair around her finger in an effort to get them back.

After much comforting and reassuring, things started to simmer down.

…and soon the humidity had started a full curl restoral.

All was well, and Cady greeted her old friends as the Chinese restaurant down the sidewalk from the haircut joint.

The Best

Brennyn was sitting in the bathroom with Cady, taking her fingernail polish off. Brennyn leaned in to kiss Cady and Cady licks her instead. Brennyn said, “I don’t like licks. I like sweet kisses.” Cady then planted one of her very, very sweet kisses on her mommy, to which Brennyn replied, “you are the best kisser in the world!”

Cady looked back and took a few seconds before saying, “no best licker?”
