Hide and Eat

This conversation took place between my mom and Cayden. I'm hearing it second hand, so this is what I heard and was able to recall.
Scene: Cayden is hiding under the table and my mom is cooking at the stove.

Cayden: Grandma come and find Cayden.
Grandma Pam: I can't because I'm making lunch for my little guy, so my little guy can eat.
Cayden: Come find Cayden.
Grandma Pam: I can't because I'm cooking for my little guy.
Cayden: It wont do your little guy any good if you can't find him.
Grandma Pam: Well, I guess that's true.
Cayden: So you have to come and find me right?
Grandma Pam: OK, (looking under the table) Oh I found you
Cayden: YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO FIND ME!

I guess she found him to quickly:)

Questions About Life/Thanksgiving Parade

Scene: A few days ago, I'm leaning back on my bed with Karis on my stomach, Cayden is sitting next to me.

Cayden: I don't know how Karis got out of there.
Me: Out of my belly?
Cayden: Yes, I think it was magic.
Me: No, it wasn't magic.
Cayden: Did the doctor have a wand?
Me: No, he used his hands and took her out.
Cayden: Out of the hole?
Me: Mmm yeah (where'd he hear about a hole?)
Cayden: I don't know where the hole is.
Me: ... (what in the world do I say now?!)

in the meantime...
Cayden: (in a more exasperated voice) I don't even know how she got in there. How did Karis get in your belly?
Me: ... (oh my word, what in the world do I say?) Ask your daddy.

he calls Brandon at work...
Cayden: Daddy how did Karis get in mommy's belly.
Daddy: She swam.
End of discussion, that satisfied Cayden...but for how long?!


I was in the bathroom getting ready and Cayden wanted to watch the thanksgiving parade and I said he could, he just had to ask Brandon to turn the T.V. on for him. Cayden came running back into the bathroom and said, "Mommy, Daddy got up without hesitation and turned it on for me!"

New Brother?

On my way to the clinic the other day, the following conversation took place:

Cayden: I want to go to the big place, the...
Me: The hospital?
Cayden: Yeah that's it.
Me: Why?
Cayden: Because we need another one of me, I want another one of me.
Me: How could we get another one of you?
Cayden: If there was one in your belly. Wanna another Cayden? Huh, do you want another one of me?


Cayden's comment after spending all day Saturday with Brandon (I went shopping in Brainerd).
In a sing-songy voice: I watched a llllloooooottttttt of videos!

Importance of Being Careful

After Cayden was jumping around the couch where Karis was laying:

Mommy: Cayden, you have to be careful with little babies. You can't jump on them or they can die. Do you remember Grandma Doris, how she died and now we don't get to see her anymore? (I fully intended to extend this example and help him understand, but he interrupted me)

Cayden: Oh, did somebody jump on Grandma Doris?
