McKade

McKade Scott Clark, (aka. Kado), was born August 23rd, 2005. He is constanly making us laugh with his silly faces and quirky attitude. The best way to describe McKade is that he loves anything his older brother Dallin loves. He also likes to do whatever it is Dallin is doing. (That's the reason we have a lot of toys in groups of 2!) McKade's favorite toys are cars or trucks. He likes trains, airplanes, balls (but they have to be authentic!), and his favorite is his stuffed dog my Aunt Dorothy got him that he has named Bart. (My brother has a hairy Chiwawa named Bart.) Bart has to do everything that McKade does. McKade is a man's man. He likes the male species, especially if their name is Dad, Grandpa, or Uncle Jeff. If he's ever upset, all I have to do is ask if he wants to call Uncle Jeff and he's somehow all better. McKade is very funny in that he takes everything literal. He thinks that any animal- stuffed, plastic, or real, is real and alive. He screams when Dallin brings out a rubber snake we have. He screams when Dallin or Tyli plays with an old rubber aligator that used to be Cauley's. He really thinks his stuffed dog, Bart, needs to eat and drink and have a diaper change. McKade loves to eat. He doesn't do it very pretty, as he stuffs his whole plate into his mouth as fast as he can and when we remind him to chew, he just swallows. It's really scary! He has always been that way. On the opposite end, when he starts getting full, he stuffs his cheeks and then gets down and goes and washes his hands- just so he can have some for later. Some of his favorite foods are pizza and pancakes. He is our pickiest eater so far, but will eat any fruit. McKade loves to be outside. He loves to "ride" his tricyle that Dallin gave him for his 2nd birthday. (It used to be Dallin's before he got a "Big Boy " bike for his 3rd birthday.) McKade doesn't pedal like normal, although he can. He does the Fred Flintstone thing and runs with his toes. He is really fast at this and almost beats me to the mailbox! McKade has another fascinating quality. He is a really good fly catcher!He chases them around then house for hours on end and once he wears out the fly, he smashes it to pieces. Then he saves the evidence in his hands to show everyone who is at home. It is gross, but funny! McKade loves to wrestle. Whenever Dallin and McKade are wrapped up on the ground together, it was probably because McKade instigated it. I used to get mad at Dallin for it, but it is really Kado's doing! He also loves to play rough. On the opposite end, McKade is one of the kindest, most gentle and helpful little 2 yearold I have ever met. We love you, McKade!
