Camp In

Caleb got some awesome camping gear for Christmas, so Greg decided to have a "camp in" last night. Caleb was pretty excited about the idea of sleeping in a tent, even if it was just in our living room. They put up his tent together, then prepared the sleeping bags. There was a lot of laughing going on during the process. Caleb continued to go in and out of his tent all evening, gathering more supplies each time. First he needed his flashlight, then water, then "i need raisins"; and so it continued. They finally fell asleep watching Kung Fu Panda, another Christmas present. Today we had 3 showings on our house, so we had to clean up quickly and find other diversions for Caleb. We returned to Bonkers since it was too cold to go to the park. Caleb had no objections, " i go all the way to the top at Bonkers". We did get to sneak home between showings for his nap, then off again to run needless errands. We were exhausted by late afternoon, at least Greg and I were. Caleb doesn't ever seem to run out of energy. Tonight for dinner I tried a new recipe utilizing spaghetti and some of Caleb's other favorites. Caleb, like always, was wearing most of the spaghetti before dinner was over. He had a slice of bread that he would place a single noodle upon, then slurp up the noodle. I asked him if he was going to eat his dinner one noodle at a time, he replied "yes". It was a lengthy dinner.
