Friends

Jacob and Cadence are neighborhood kids that are two of Joshua's favorite people.  He absolutely adores these two.  They used to live right across the street from us but recently moved. So sad!  Before they moved Joshua would stand at the end of the drive way and shout across the street, "Hi Jacob! Hi Cadence!"  When they were playing outside he would always ask to go see them. 

Several months ago Joshua enjoyed some red peppers while at their house for a play date.   To this day every time he has a red pepper he says, "Like at Jacob and Cadence's house." 

Another time we went over to say hi and Cadence was eating her smoothie with a spoon. Now when I make him smoothies he always asks for a spoon.  When I give him a spoon he tells me, "Like Cadence." 

We are so sad they moved away.  They were such a great family.  He seriously loves these two kids and they are great with him.  They are so kind to him and play so well with him.  They also have amazing patience with him and his toddler ways...if you know what I mean :)  Cadence is so sweet and loves to help him.  Jacob is so good about sharing his toys with Joshua and Joshua just loves to watch him play and run around. 

They also love Kayla.  They are expecting a new sibling soon so they were very interested in Kayla.  After Kayla got up from her nap one day Jacob said, "She's so gorgeous!"  They loved her tiny fingers and got a kick out of holding her. 

I explained the best I could to Joshua that they now live in another house.  Of course I don't think he quite gets it.  He still points to their house and says, "Jacob and Cadence's house." 

Here are some pictures of a play date they had right before they moved. 

Trying to keep up with the big kids. 

Such a sweet bunch!

 

This picture totally sums up his relationship with Cadence.  She is so nurturing to him.  (Joshua isn't sleeping, I just caught him in mid blink.)

 

 

Looking forward to paying them a visit someday soon!
