Holdie Boldie

Oh Holdie,
I thought I'd write a little post about you to remember all the fun things that make you, you! Hopefully, I'll keep adding to this list with more of your quirks :) You are one funny, sweet, loving, not-always good listening, fun guy.

you fall asleep in the car within minutes of getting in. I have to scream at you and roll the windows down to keep you awake on the way home from preschool so that you don't ruin your nap

you get up SOOO early. you either hang out in the family room with daddy while he gets ready for work or come cuddle up to me and watch the ipad while I sleep

you love to make Sas (you only call her sas or sassy, I've never heard you call her Emma Cate). You climb in her strollers all the time.

you love your rain boots and jumping in puddles!

you love doing any activities that the big guys are doing

One morning after Shep's baptism, I came out from getting ready and found you and Sas eating his cake. I took this picture of you saying "Hey Mommy! We eatin Sheppie cake!" At least y'all had forks!

*We call you Holds, Holdie Goldie, Holdie Boldie, and Holdie. Hardly ever Holden. We tell you that you're name is Caviness and you say "No it not, I Holdie".
*You are a mixture of rough and tumble and sweet at pie. You give some fierce hugs that normally end up with Emma Cate screaming and crying on the floor and you squeezing the daylights out of her.
*You are quick to give mommy kisses and always ask me to give them to you. Your little voice, mommy, you give me kiss?
*You are still my random hugger. Today, you were in the middle of soccer practice and ran up to me, gave me a hug, and ran back on the field.
*You like watching the big boys and want to be just like them
*You are so into the gym at the Y. You want to go in an play "basket-a-ball" so badly. We told you that you could play when you wear unders and everyday we walk by the courts and you scream, "I play when I wear unders!"
*You get frustrated easily working on new skills but are SO proud of yourself when you master them. You've recently mastered cutting and taking your shoes off.
*You love your baby Sheppie
*You are very into trucks, diggers, and all things boy... with the exception of barbie. You love to watch barbie on nextflix.
*You love watching youtube on the ipad. You like to watch these "shows" were adults play with lightening mcqueen cars and make up storylines and the cars act them out. They are so strange but you love them ;)
*You love being outside and ask to go out everyday. I can't wait until the weather gets better
*You are a dancing fool and will randomly climb on the coffee table and say "Shake yo booty!". Your booty shake is pretty hilarious
*You like to help out by watching me cook (and you want to learn to cut with the knife so badly), feeding the dogs, putting your pjs in the dirty clothes, and loading the dishwasher. You are not into cleaning up your toys AT ALL.
*We just got you a set of golf clubs and you can't wait to go outside with Daddy to play.
*You love the wolfpack and like pointing out the big wolf on the home basketball court
