Cowboy Caleb

Last Thursday we took Caleb to the Ft Worth Rodeo. He was so excited when we told him where we were going. He got his boots and cowboy hat on and was ready to see the "horsies". On the way he said "I ride horsies and watch bulls." When we finally made it to the rodeo, Caleb sat in awe for several minutes observing all the activity going on in the arena. We had a really good time, though I continued to get concerned looks at my black eye, and Greg received a few bad ones. Friday night I made the mistake of telling Caleb about Asher's birthday party we would be attending the next day. Saturday morning Caleb woke at 6a.m.! When Greg went to get him, I could hear Caleb saying " I awake daddy, I want to go to the birthday party." We convinced him to lay down with us and wait for the sun to wake up first, we actually got to sleep in until after 8a.m. When we finally did get up and going, Caleb continued to insist it was time to go to the party. Good thing the party started at 11a.m. or I would have gone crazy. He had a great time playing at Asher's party, and was especially excited to see his friend Teresa was present. They waited patiently for the cake to be brought out.

Finally the wait was over, and time to dig in! They both carefully scraped the icing away to be consumed, the cake is apparently just for decoration.

It was a successful party, and Caleb was very excited to receive a goodie bag on his way out. When I asked him what he got, he said "stuff". "It's all my stuff mommy".
