Soccer Fun

This weekend we started Soccer. Caleb was so excited, informing everyone, mostly strangers, that he had soccer practice on Saturday morning. Greg had to buy him a new soccer ball and soccer socks with built in shin guards. Caleb was so proud. Too bad it was so windy Saturday so Lexie and I had to watch most of the practice from the car. But it looked like Caleb was having a great time and though he couldn't remember any of the kids names so far, he seemed to enjoy their company. I was even more excited when he didn't fight me over nap time later that afternoon, he was exhausted after all their running and kicking they did. After nap, "Aunt" Ginger and her son Dax came over to play. Lexie and Dax had some mat time together while Caleb desperately tried to entertain us. He put on his soccer uniform to give us a preview of his new soccer look. What a cutie! Later that afternoon while we were watching a movie, I noticed Caleb had gone toward the back door and was staying rather quiet. Unusual for Caleb. So I asked Greg to look over and see what he was up to. I was worried when Greg had a look of disbelief and horror on his face. Then he said "Caleb's peeing!" At first we were shocked and upset. I asked Caleb why he did that and he replied " I was trying to pee outside." Then it became rather humorous. Greg couldn't stop laughing, he said Caleb was trying to hold the doggy door open while peeing outside. Totally Greg's fault for teaching Caleb it's ok to pee outside. I then had to set some new rules. Boys! Lexie has been growing so fast as you can tell by her pictures. She is such a happy baby, and loves to laugh and coo. Her favorite time it seems is to have her diaper changed. She is always giggling when we change her diaper. That seems to be when Greg and her carry on most of their "conversations". She also enjoys bath time, especially when we dry her off in front the mirror so she can see her reflection. I think she wonders who that cute baby is looking back at her. It usually becomes a family affair with each of us divided among the kids to bathe or shower them. Caleb wanted to try out the towel wrap with me.
