Gushing about Caleb

I am in awe of Caleb right now.

He is a great little person with lots of personality.

Tonight our evening went as such:

We played outside. Caleb is sure footed and somehow has yet to step or play in any of our dog's poop in the yard. The only way we got him inside with little fussing was to promise he could feed Woody:) He walked in, closed the door after himself (I was already in), and rushed to the dog food bin. He fed Woody and put the scoop away.

After a little indoor discovery it was time to eat. He wanted to help with the microwave (leftovers) so we practiced doing a countdown from 5 to 0. Zero of course meant tickles. Our timing was a little different than the microwave so we luckily got to tickle three times:)

Caleb was a great eater and got some of Daddy's homemade applesauce for dessert. Auntie Krista came and we had some giggles with her too. Then it was bath with some fishing, and then Curious George. What was fun is that Caleb asked for a snack during Curious George so I gave him a few Cheerios in a bowl. He asked for seconds and I gave him just a few making it clear that after this we were done with snacks. So, after finishing his seconds of Cheerios he ran to the kitchen and threw his bowl in the sink. He's been clearing his dishes for the last couple weeks. Really adorable since it is completely independent and we haven't taught him to do it.

Well it got a bit later and it was about time for bed. He was already in his PJs, so I asked him, "Caleb, are you ready for night night?" He grabbed his blankie and ran to his room to pick out a book. I came into his room as he was crawling into the rocking chair. We read "Good Night, Colorado." Then we turned out the light, said our prayers, and he rested his head on my shoulder for the short four steps from the rocking chair to his crib. He snuggled into his blankie and has quietly been sleeping since. I walked out of his bedroom grateful for a such a wonderful son. 

Tonight I am a content and happy Mommy.

So excited to catch a "fish" in the tub.
My cutie!
