Fun with Caleb

I'm beginning to think Caleb is not going to be a morning person. All week I've had to wake him for school, which is unusual. I said "It's time to get up", and he replies with the now common "no mommy". I said you want to go back to sleep, "yeah". Not what was expected. He goes to bed shortly after 8pm, so I know he gets plenty of sleep. I guess we are just going through a phase. When he gets to school, he's fine. He loves his teachers and his best friend Lucas. He's always so excited to show me his school projects. Today was dinosaur art, one of his favorite subjects. Greg had to take a class today, so Caleb and I had dinner alone. He is becoming very particular with what he'll eat. Mostly only chicken and fruit. An occasional veggie, depending on his mood. It's challenging trying to come up with new ideas for chicken.

Caleb is also becoming interested in the toilet. Mostly to sit on it and flush the toilet over and over. But when he says he needs to pee pee, I try to accomodate and keep up the interest. Maybe we'll get lucky and get this potty training stuff over sooner than usual. Though one day last week he refused to put his diaper back on, so I thought maybe he can let me know before he needs to go easier without a diaper. I've been told that's one way to try. So I continuously asked him if he needed to potty every few minutes. "No, mommy" was the repeated response. Until "uh oh pee pee". Luckily he was on the tile floor. Needless to say, I convinced him to put his diaper back on.
