The Daily Bailey: Clean Teeth, Climbing, & Chuck E. Cheese

This summer is going by way too fast! I have had so much fun staying home with Kade. I have to admit I have not been very productive as far as cleaning out drawers/closets, re-organizing things, reading those 3 books I'm supposed to read for school that are still in my school bag. He is such a busy little guy that keeps me moving all day long. Nap time is my quiet time that I should be doing all that stuff I mentioned earlier; but Facebook, working on Kade's scrapbook, or taking a nap myself are always so much more appealing to me.
Kade has discovered in the past week that he can climb, he is living up to his "Little Monkey" name. One night Tim and I were standing in the kitchen talking and we turned around and Kade was in the living room sitting "Indian style" on the coffee table smiling at us. And so the climbing began; the next day he learned he could climb on the couch and then I found him climbing up on his play kitchen to grab the blinds.
At his 1-year appointment the doctor said it was time for Kade to start brushing his teeth. So every night before bed time we brush his teeth. Do you know how hard it is to brush a wild 1-year old's all 4 teeth? Well, it can be a challenge some nights. He wants to do it himself and doesn't want me to touch his toothbrush. I guess at least he likes having clean teeth and is not refusing to brush. We are so excited that he is now on whole milk and doing great! He is down to 1 bottle at night; I'm so thankful that he is doing so good at giving up the bottle. Now, the pacifier is a different story. He is attatched to that thing. If anyone has any ideas of how to get rid of the pacifier let me know.
This past Friday night Tim had the idea to take Kade to his 1st Chuck E. Cheese visit. We all had so much fun. Kade loved running around and playing with the games. He was exhausted when the night was over.
