"Parade!"

{This post is extremely short and sweet, I'm a tired Momma!}

 

Caleb was so excited to go to the Peanut Festival Parade!

In this photo he is singing "Pa-ra-de Pa-raaadde woo hoo!"

 

 

Here we are waiting for the parade to come...

 

We ran into our friend Grace! :)

 

Daddy and Caleb

 

Caleb's stash from the parade! Look at that face! lol

Highlight of the parade -  By far my favorite memory will be Caleb dancing as each band walked by!  I wish that I had gotten a picture of him BUT I was too busy making sure he didn't dance/march away!!

Low - The  Firetrucks had their sirens on far too long for our liking.. and for whatever reason they were in front of us for a little while longer  than anyone else... they were tooooo loud! \

Hope everyone else had a fun time!! :)

"G Pajamas"

This post will be short and sweet.  Tonight after I gave Caleb a bath I asked him "What pajamas would you like to wear tonight?" He quickly responded "My G pajamas mom." 

I thought for a second, I looked in the drawer.. and I asked "What are G pajamas?"   to which Caleb responded "My G PAJAMAS MOM", "You know, the G ones?!"

Okay - so as I look in the drawer full of baseball, Mickey, dump truck and striped pajamas I could NOT for the life of me figure out what he was talking about.  I asked him to show me - he walked over to the drawer and picked these out.. look at them for a moment ;

 

I see a rockstar monkey.. Do you see why these are the "G Pajamas" ???

 

I didn't at first, so I asked my two year old the big question.. "WHY are these your G Pajamas?"

He looked at me in total seriousness.. and replied.. "they have a Gorilla playing a Guitar.. G says G like gorilla and guitar mom.. G pajamas!!!"

 

Oh yes - of course.. G pajamas :) Love it.

"Super Caleb"

 

It's a bird, it's a plane.. it's SUPER CALEB!

My son has such a fun personality..

He has really grown attatched to this cape lately. Once that velcro is closed, Super Caleb comes alive! He jumps, he flies, he runs and he yells "Super Caleb to the RESCUE!"

Yesterday I told him to go get his hat and a pair of shoes so we could go outside, and THIS is what came out of his bedroom. :)

He has strong muscles!

He's super FAST!

 

{UPDATES}

I feel like I need to post a few updates since there was such a large

gap between my first few posts.

Caleb is now two years old, and FULL of energy!

He is fully potty trained {even in underwear at night }

and sleeps all night in his own big boy bed!

He is in a constant "sponge" state of mind.. meaning he is soaking EVERYTHING in EVERY minute of EVERY day!

He loves reading, making projects and playing with his friends!

He is growing and changing so much, I literally found myself watching him play outside this morning and soaking in every minute of it.. It's bittersweet to see them grow up so quickly!

 

 

"The Little Things"

 

Sometimes in life it's the

 little things

 that really make a difference...

 

 

To the naked eye, these may look like harmless "little" cheerios-

WRONG!! Well, maybe not totally wrong..

 they're somewhat harmless, and delicious.. BUT they are really a pain in the nose!

 Yes, my son decided to place a cheerio inside of his nose today!

 Luckily, I knew what to do and we were able to get it out here at home!

A cheerio- who would've guessed?!

 

Another "little" item, the letter H..

 let's just say that Caleb + H + Air/Heat Vent = a wonderful noise

when the air came on today!  Caleb discovered that this letter magnet could stick to the metal vent.  Yay for a teachable moment!

Magnets stick to metal.. and small magnets fall into holes in the vent, and when the air comes on it sends the magnet up and down making a very loud noise!

 

Hmm.. "little" lincoln logs - they aren't innocent today either, they somehow made it into the tube of my vaccum cleaner.. and when I turned it on, wow what a loud noise it made!! Followed by a slight burning smell and a tad bit of smoke...  yes.. enough said about these guys..

 

And my final "little" items of the day..

these two little eyes that look at me each day like I'm his hero,

this one little smile that brightens every minute of my day,

this one sweet little boy that I have the privelage of raising... 

 I am so blessed to have my Caleb..

and I live for the days filled all of the "little things."
