So today I think I realized just how fast time was passing by. I've always heard that when you have a kid, they grow up so fast that the next thing you know, they are a teenager and then driving and then off to college and so on. Tonight was one of those nights that I realized just how fast Kade was growing up! Or maybe I realized how much I actually work! While I was on my way home from work today I was talking to Jim and he told me that he had a surprise for me. The surprise was a video of Kade. Before I go on about the video, let me tell you a few other things first. See, because I got a good opportunity with work, Jim and I basically switched roles. He took a job with the City of Boca Raton where he works 7:00 am- 3:00 pm so I could basically tackle my new store (same position but bigger store with a lot to prove and was afforded the opportunity to do so by myself- won't go into any other details but just know it has helped me tremendously grow as a manager). Anyhow, with my new store I have to work 7:45 am to 6:30 pm pretty much everyday and then most Saturdays. So basically 6 days a week for the most part. With that being said, Jim has to go get Kade from school everyday, most of the time go grocery shopping and run errands, come home and cook dinner, clean up and give Kade a bath, all before I get home from work! So I never get to see Kade with me getting home at 6:30 and him going to bed by 7:15. In that 1 on 1 time with Kade, Jim gets to experience and see first hand just what Kade has learned at school and what he can say and do. I'm always 2 to 3 weeks behind. Jim took a video for me of something he watched Kade do. Jim turned on Pandora for kids and the song "If You're Happy and You Know It." and Kade immediately started doing the motions and singing it.
Then, we were video chatting with my parents tonight and played that song from You Tube so they could see him sing and dance. We took a shot in the dark and did other songs too. We did not realize just how much he knew! We took another video of him singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
I am still in complete awe at what all he knows and can do! I absolutely love this boy more than anything! I love these moments!!
