Like Father, Like Daughter

Cadence loves me. She copies me, talks to me, hugs and kisses me, but when Dad gets home, she is so excited to be with him. She gets a break from me and Dad does so many fun and interesting things that Cadence wants to experience. The other day, Chris came home from work and got on the roof to do some painting. Cadence sat on a chair watching and talking to him. Somehow, she convinced him to let her get up on the roof.

She climbed the ladder to this part of the roof with little pitch. I thought that would be enough for her.

But, NO! She wanted to go to the steeper part and go higher where Dad had been working.

I came outside a few minutes later to ask Chris a question and this is what I saw.Yep, they had climbed over the top and to the front of the house. When Cadence called my name, they blew me a kiss! How sweet! When they decided to climb down from the roof, Cadence told me, "I wasn't scared. I was brave. I be careful."

The day following the roof, Chris was doing some stretching. Cadence wanted to be like Dad and joined him. She attempted to copy everything he did and she was pretty good at it.When Dad was finished with his stretches, Cadence made up her own stretch for Dad to do.She put her feet on the couch and her body was stiffened straight to the floor. Dad copied her! Aren't kids crazy wonderful? (That is one of Cadence's phrases.)

Cadence loves her dad and wants to be just like him!!!
