Nick Goes to College!

Because of Christmas, we really haven't been talking about Nick leaving. All of our countdowns have been for Christmas, not daddy leaving. But I mean who wants to count down to such a dreaded day?? So I am not sure now that it is coming up so fast if we did a good or bad thing. Since for all Caden knows Santa already came on the 10th, it is time to start preparing Caden. Well we got a new ipad2 for Christmas from my parents and we downloaded many Blue's Clues for our car trip. If you haven't caught on by now, Blues Clues could be the best thing ever, according to Caden. One of his new favorite episodes is where Steve (the main character) is leaving and being replaced by the new lead, Joe. They accomplish this bc the 30 something year old character who has been on the show for years, is going to college. Now Caden has no idea what college is but knows that Steve is living there and will be there for a very long time. Now, if you don't see where this is going, you must not have a preschooler's mind around you. After telling Caden, daddy would be gone for a very long time and we would miss him a lot. The first thing he responds with is, "is daddy going to college like Steve?". What else could I say, but yes? So now all Caden talks about is daddy going to college and how we are going to miss him and Steve. I know Caden doesnt get it now and it hurts Nick, but soon he will and it will be sad. Post and Carry on with the rest of your day.
