The Joys of Parenting

I seem to be playing catch up with the blog lately. It's just been hectic with everything recently. Last week Caleb had picture day at daycare. On his way out the door I told him to grab his backpack and I'll take his picture. He actually turned to one side, foot out, and posed showing off his backpack. I think these pictures may be getting to his head.
We have been enjoying his increasing vocabulary. And his memory!! Wow!! He is remembering very specific details even weeks later. Sometimes that gets me in trouble. The other day I was trying on my new clothes while he sat on my bed playing. I asked "how does it look" he said "it's cute" (I might have taught him that too). Later he came into my closet and showed me his "bracelet" which was my hair tie, and said "how does it look". I really need to get him around his dad more before he becomes too metro sexual.
Thursday morning we had a great time riding our bike and then going to the park to play. That afternoon we played with Emma and Trae over at Shae Shae's house for some socializing.
Today dad had to go into work for a while, so Caleb and I had a leisurely morning, starting at 7am. While playing outside, I told Caleb "no,no" about throwing something. Caleb turned and shook his finger at me and said "no tell me no mommy". Wow! Wasn't expecting that one. It deserved a time out, which he also didn't like. This parenting stuff sure is fun huh!
Tonight was our friend Justin's birthday party. We had so much fun hanging out, and Caleb even got to get in the pool for a little while. Caleb has become even more independent lately. He prefers the "big boy" cup and straw, or water bottle over sippy cup, and will not sit in his booster chair anymore. Only the "big chair" now. That includes restaurants, which makes things interesting, and messy. The boys played washers and got some quality time in with each other.

What a little man! I hate when they don't want the booster anymore, it really does make things much more difficult.
