Chatterbox!

I've created a monster! Caleb talks so much these days that I wouldn't even know where to begin to tell about everything he's saying. My favorites are:

• Daddy? (or Dewey, or truck, or airplane, etc) Where go?
• Airplane - hear it?
• Hey, baby!
• Ewww, icky!
• hoocut (haircut)
• ahmos (animals)
• Ewww, poop - diaper.
• Shhh, (pause) - hear it?
• counting: "wee fo, wee fo, wee fo" (3,4,3,4,3,4)

In addition to that - we're just having fun and enjoying spring. Every afternoon (unless it's raining), we spend time outside playing, going for walks, checking on our flowers, watching the big kids play, using our sidewalk chalk, etc. It's just a fun time to be a little boy - and a little boy's Mama. Caleb doesn't know yet that he's getting a swingset for his birthday, but he's going to LOVE IT! He loves to go to the park to slide and climb, but the playset at the park doesn't have swings. We may never get him to come inside!

Tonight, we went to a free event at the UofA called Farm Friends. Several area 4H clubs brought farm animals for kids to see and pet. Caleb didn't really want to touch most of the animals, but he loved the baby chicks. He watched them intently for long periods of time and went back to them over and over. He did not like it when a sheep bleated really close to him. He cried and said, "No, Baa!" He liked the rabbits a little bit and seemed to enjoy looking at all of the other animals, but he really didn't want to touch them. I can't say that I blame him.

This weekend is going to be a busy one for us. We're going to Touch-A-Truck on Saturday morning and Razorfest on Saturday afternoon. Caleb will LOVE Touch-A-Truck and Rudy and I will love Razorfest. We're hoping it won't be completely exhausting for all of us, but we know we'll have fun. I'll try to get pictures up on Shutterfly on Sunday.
