Some Caleb-isms:

We were at my MIL's house last Thursday. We were helping get the boys ready for bed before going out to a movie. Caleb was supposed to be brushing his teeth, but he came out of the bathroom, grabbed Penni's hand, and said, "Nanny, I need assistance." We almost died. He is so serious and uses these great big words in his five- ( Read more... )

Oh, my goodness...every once in a while something comes along that you were aware of as a pet peeve for as long as you can remember, but you haven't encountered it so much ( Read more... )

I love that my boys are watching a show on loons and are SO quiet. When we moved we lost Discovery and Food Network and Caleb was so sad. They love their documentaries!

Owen has been saying new words daily. He says, "Stop!" for nearly anything. It comes out as dop and he'll say it to get down from my lap or to get me to stop trying to kiss him ( Read more... )

Dave brought some cookies home and brought one in to Caleb. They're roll-up cookies with date paste in a spiral throughout.

C: "What's in this cookie?

D: "It's a date."

C: "No, Daddy. A date is goin' out for a walk."

We're moving. Finally, folks ( Read more... )

It's Caleb's birthday today. My oldest is four!

We get to give him his present after dinner. I made waffles for breakfast with sausage, and banana bread for lunch. Tonight, as per his request, it's hot dogs. And a cake from Funk's Foods (he's been asking for three months to have cake from Funk's for his birthday) with Thomas the Tank Engine on ( Read more... )

Graham has devised (as of tonight) a way to get out of his crib despite his little (read: stubby) legs. He tosses his pillow onto the ground and throws himself onto it. Sometimes painful, but apparently worth doing over and over. :D ( Read more... )
