Wednesday's Greg takes Caleb to school because he has softball those nights, so I usually get to have a leisure morning. Well today Caleb's class was supposed to wear purple shirts for rainbow day. We do not own a purple shirt, and I forgot to go pick one up last night. So at 7am, when I remembered, I went to find a purple shirt. Kohls was the closest, but not open til 8am; next was Target, again open at the more sane hour of 8am. Last option and furthest away was Walmart, but unless I wanted Hannah Montana on my son's shirt, there were no purple shirts for boys. I settled for a light blue nemo shirt with a purple shark. It was 7:49am when I returned home on my leisure morning. I asked Caleb if he wanted to put on his nemo shirt, and he said no! So much for my great effort. Greg finally got him into his new shirt, and the school had a cute rainbow picture using the different classes colors. I know he is only 2, many are thinking I am crazy for going to all that trouble. My only excuse is I'm crazy! And I was trying to be a good mom. 
Tonight we went to Greg's softball games; it was a double header. It worked out great since we had two showings on our house tonight. Caleb loved watching daddy out on the field. I was surprised he actually sat and watched most of the game. He enjoyed analyzing the game with dad in between innings.
We got to play between games.Caleb found a ball and played catch with dad. What an arm!
During the last game, Caleb face planted into the cement while trying to run back and forth with the game. My heart stopped when I heard the thud. But he only cried for a couple of minutes, and was mad when I tried to take him to the car. "I wanna watch daddy play!" So we finished the game with a bloody nose and bump to the forehead. Boys!!
It was a long day! And now I am going to have Caleb sleep with us to watch him since it was a nasty fall. It is likely to be a sleepless night!

Oh, I totally would have done the same thing with the shirt hunt, good Mommy.
That's a pretty good little goose egg he got himself. I hate watching Teresa run on cement, I'm just always waiting for her to bite it. Hope he's okay.
Oh, the things we do for our children! I have done it, too! Wal-Mart is a nice place at 7 am!!!
Addy has had some bumps like that, too! She isn't a boy, but just on the move ALL of the time! I watch her all night after she does that, too! Again, the things we do for our children!
