first lego set and first day of "school"

so my cousin ben and his wife rachel were in town this past weekend, and they bought cadence her first lego set! all the cousins got to hang out, and it was really good to see the newlyweds, whom i hadn't seen since their wedding in NJ last june. cadence loves her new lego set, and i knew she would because there's a kitty cat AND a dog in it! i also learned that she knows how to mooo like a cow, cuz when she saw the cow piece, she went 'moo.' i think i find out something new everyday that cadence knows that i didn’t realize she knew. i guess she is at that sponge stage. i just hope she will soon understand what it means when i say ‘mommy, ow!’ when she nurses…

and today was her first day of anything that remotely resembles school...she had her first tumbling class today through the park district. can you believe she’s old enough for organized class activities?? she barely made the cut, since it’s for 18 month and up. ted told me she basically ran around saying hi to everyone the whole time. she wouldn’t do log rolls, but she did walk on the balance beam while ted was holding her hand. and our friend ada grey is in the class too, which is exciting. i’m going to take off one of these tuesdays so i can go to class with her.
