So Kaden got this t-shirt last December from his Nana and Papa that says "If mom says no, ask grandma." He really got a kick out of it, but it's been a while since he's worn it...but last night he asked me for something and I said no; when he started to ask my grandma for the same thing I cut him off, telling him I had already said no. So he replies: "But my shirt says to ask grandma!" It was pretty funny...I couldn't argue.

Ok, this is not pretty, but there have been demands for another belly shot- here we are at 31 weeks. (New hair too! I was feeling frumpy, it was a good pick-me-up!)

Cheese! This was the only semi-decent pic he would let me take on Sunday.

We colored eggs at our friends' house...

It was difficult to keep Kaden from spilling the dye everywhere, but I think he still had fun!

Today was a beautiful day and so Kaden finally got to play with his trucks outside! He begs us to play with them every time he passes them in the garage, and it is always too cold. He said was "making sidewalks" like the construction men outside our house every day. Here are some pics:

All this work makes him thirsty!
Bella enjoyed the sun too.

So one day I was surfing the internet and found this posting for a piano teaching position at a music school. I was feeling bored at home so I sent in my resume, not really thinking anything would happen since I am hugely pregnant and no one would hire someone and then give them 6 weeks off after only a couple months. Well I interviewed yesterday and got the job on the spot! It has really all fallen into place perfectly- for the time being they are just hiring substitute teachers and thus me being prego is not a problem. Then in the fall they will be opening a location pretty much across the street from our subdivision and by then I should be ready to start teaching my own private lessons evenings and Saturdays. It was really weird how convenient this turned out to be! I am excited to get out and about as well as bring in a little money...

At my appointment today I learned that my pregnancy is still completely normal, no pre-term labor in sight! It is so nice not having to worry about the baby coming early- I can actually enjoy it a little. Bed rest was pretty much the worst thing ever, and would not be fun with Kaden to worry about, so we are blessed! We also got a good look at the baby- he is getting big. We saw his cute nose, lips and chin- and still no question he's a boy...

Well we have been meaning to wean Kaden from his binkies for a while now, and so this weekend we decided to just go cold turkey. We gathered up all his binkies and took them to the store. Then we told him to pick out a toy that he wanted to "buy" using his binkies. He picked two little monster trucks and "paid" the cashier with his binkies. He asked a couple times for his bink at bed time, but when I reminded him that he gave them all to the cashier for his trucks he didn't fuss at all, and slept with the trucks the first night instead. So far so good- no binks for 2 nights (and last night he stayed in his own bed all night too!)
