Aww, he's so cute...
Andy and Caleb and I were driving back home from E. Peoria yesterday evening on 74 and saw fireworks off in the distance. Caleb shouted out lets go over there to watch them. So we tracked them down, they were having a display in Glen Oak Park. It was most of the way through already so we drove slowly and saw what we could, and talked about the different fireworks. But of course this wasn't enough for Caleb, he wanted us to park and watch the rest of them, and he was still upset about not seeing the ones from earlier. He cries. We explained. He cried. We explained. This went on for a while, but I finally gave up arguing when his cries became just sniffles and tears falling down his cheeks. Andy didn't give up, he wanted Caleb to understand but he just didn't. So, then Andy's heart is breaking over this and starts offering him candy, "Do you like chocolate?.. What kind of candy's does he like?.. I'll get you whatever you want.. Please stop crying.." I pulled over in a gas station to get a lighter and Andy jumped out of the car and told Caleb to get out. "Come on, you can pick out anything you want.
So, Caleb wandered around the gas station, looking at all the candy and came across the fireworks section. His eyes light up. And can you believe Andy ended up buying him the most expensive set there!?!
We got back home and the two of them sat and played with those chincy-gas station fireworks in the driveway while I looked up the theater times for Transformers (Which was kick-ass btw).
At first it left me thinking if he was too soft... but then I got to thinking that maybe I've become cold about these things. I mean I have been basically a single parent for five years.
This is the first time somebody has spent this much time with Caleb and paid that much attention to him thats not me. (just in case anyones wondering why I said "yes" so quick to this guy. But don't worry, we're thinking next year sometime.)
