LeLeDee

Kaden calls Lady Belle (our little shih-tzu poodle mix) "LeLeDee." He only says a few things, like "hi!" and "Tede" (for his stuffed Tigger), but I am very impressed by how often and how well he says LeLeDee.

Last week we were getting into the car and a neighbor walked by with her dog, a large golden retriever (who obviously doesn't look like Lady Belle). Kaden started squealing and pointing to the dog, saying "LeLeDee" over and over again! It was so cute that he made the connection between Lady Belle and the golden retriever! I pointed with him and said "dog" before we waived bye bye to the dog.

Last night Kaden got a birthday card from my Aunt and Uncle with a Snoopy cartoon on the front. I read the card to him after dinner and showed him the picture of Snoopy on the front- which caused Kaden to get excited and reach for the card. He held it and kept saying "LeLeDee" over and over again (then he opened it and "talked" like he was reading and studying the card, which was also so cute!) I was SUPER impressed that he made the connection between the Snoopy cartoon on the front and Lady Belle both being dogs. Man, I have a smart kid!

Then we get to this morning, when Kaden was drinking a sippy of milk while we were getting ready for work. The news was on tv and they had a segment with some sheep (I have NO idea why, but there were sheep). Kaden smiled at the sheep, pointed and said "LeLeDee!" I couldn't help it- I busted up laughing at the intolerable cuteness!

So either all animals are LeLeDee or just all four-legged hairy animals...not sure which...either way, he only calls animals LeLeDee so I am still impressed by the brain power of my little boy!

Jennifer, I hadn't checked this out in a long time, but you really should keep this going. I know, I know . . when? but you are just a marvelous young woman and mother, and a fabulous storyteller!
