Caleb

"Mommy, I want a house, a cooker, a door, a garage, an office, a big movie, a computer, "tindo land, and Mario Karts!" said my Caleb after sister finished frying him some eggs.

Sabbath Afternoon Kiting

"This is how you put it on Caleb"

Concentration

Thrilled

In Daddy's arms - the best place to be.

Look ma! No hands!

Getting the hang of in and brave enough to stand.

Don't look now! But mom even participated!

Eventful day

"Mom, how do you set off the smoke alarm with no bake cookies?" said my Abrianna this morning. Not only did it set off the alarm but evacuated the church!
Arriving home we found 2 chickens in our closed chicken pen. We managed to round up an additional 17. 
And to finish off the day Abrianna finished her math book for the year. Eventful.

Happy 6th birthday Emmy Lou May!

She insisted since she is 6 that she light her own candles.

After lighting the candles she burst into song, "Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday to me! I look like a monkey... And I smell like one too!"

Big inhale.

Big Blow!

She blew so hard she is cross eyed from the effort- and still didn't get them all out. 

Hummus the Train

Caleb on eating hummus, It's Thomas the Train." Me, "No its hummus." Caleb, " Hummus the train!" he happily declared while chomping it down on carrots.

Stories

TMI story.

When I weaned Caleb at just past age three, he still begged to nurse off and on. Ok, I thought. I'll let him see and tell him it's all gone and they are empty. He asked to nurse. I pulled up my shirt and showed him the milk was gone. His little eyes got wide and with an incredulous look on his face he said, "It all stretched out! It all gone!!!"

Today I was laying on the bed letting Caleb play horsey on my legs. " Momma! There are pokeys on your legs!" he announced rather startled.  Oh the honesty of a three year old.

Caleb was standing at the toilet peeping. Lucas started giggling about it. "Doesn't he have a cute little butt?" I asked. Caleb turned around indignantly and declared, " I don't have a cute butt! I have cute little balls!"

I VERY strong!

A few days ago, some friends came to visit. Their little girl is a few months younger than Caleb and afraid of dogs. He, seeing her distress, wrapped his arms around and wrestling the puppy back to protect his friend declaring, "See! I VERY strong! See I VERY strong." Love how he was looking out for his friend.
