Little Gym/Cabela's

Today was my day off with the kids. I put Lex in Little Gym, so that was the first event of the day. Caleb comes with us and gets to draw and watch cartoons while Lex and I play. At her first class the teacher try to warn us that Lexie might be shy and not want to participate at first. I reassured her there wouldn't be a problem, and I was right. The child is not scared of anything. She was climbing over, under, and through all the equipment. She interacted with several different children, and wasn't even scared to ride the big blowup mat that most of the other children didn't want to get on. That's one of the reasons I signed her up, to teach her the proper way to get on and off things and to hopefully be more cautious. After Little Gym, we headed to Cabela's to do most of Daddy's Christmas shopping. It was crazy crowded and super busy. But we made an afternoon of it. Caleb enjoyed the shooting game they have as always, then we toured the different show rooms with exotic animals and the fish aquarium. We stopped for lunch upstairs, then resumed shopping while Lexie took a nap. When we got home, there was a surprise package from Grandma and Grandpa in California. Caleb was so excited by all the cookies and sweets in the package, but was most impressed by his present.

He jumped with joy when he realized it was the Bumble Bee Pillow Pet. He called Grandma and told her " thank you, thank you. I have been waiting my whole life for a Pillow Pet." It was too funny. He had been asking for one for several months, but he may have been a little dramatic.

Lexie liked her Lady Bug Pillow Pet too.

That night while I was helping Caleb get is pj's on I accidentally scratched him with my wedding ring. He quickly got mad and yelled "You hurt me Mommy." I apologized saying I didn't mean to, and he replied "It's ok. I'm sorry for yelling at you, but sometimes you just frustrate me." I responded "Ditto sweety."
