Funny Things Caleb Said Today

A fly was buzzing around and my mom made some comment about how it was annoying. Caleb said, "I'm going to kill it. And he says, 'No don't kill me.'" Where did he come up with that one? Grandad probably. Grandad has taught Caleb about how you don't kill spiders but you take them outside and they say thank you. He has learned to kill bugs from me however, and his first impulse is to kill them and secondly to not kill them. :)

It took my a long time to put Caleb to sleep tonight. My mom is sick--both kids are sick too--and Annika woke up and so it dragged putting Caleb to bed. Luckily he had a really long nap so was in a really good mood--just didn't want to go to sleep. I left him in his room around 9 or so (maybe a little before I can't remember) and then about ten minutes later he comes out and says, "I had a good sleep." We walked back in and I sang him another song and Orlee the cat came and jumped up on his bed. Now they're curled up asleep together. Luckily he wasn't super tired. When he's super tired it's really hard because he's so whiney and cries like crazy and won't go to sleep unless I lay there with him till he falls asleep.

This morning my dad was cleaning out the little box and Caleb asked if he could watch. However, when he put his hand in the kitty litter (clean kitty litter fortunately) my dad told him that he wasn't supposed to touch kitty litter. I piped in that cleaning the kitty litter was Grandad's job. Later tonight my dad cleaned out the bathtub before Caleb took a bath. Caleb said that it was Grandad's job.

Caleb just woke up. Now he's asking the cat named Dawson if he wants to come on his bed with him. Perhaps I should go try to help my tired (although he doens't know it) and sick (although he is getting better) son get to sleep.

Good night

I hope everyone is feeling better, although i'm sure you are since you posted this in October. :). I hope you had a good thanksgiving. Caleb says such cute things! Ethan is finally getting to talking, and so little things are starting to come out, like today I was trying to get him to go potty and was telling him "daddy poops, mommy poops, grandpa poops". he found it interesting and starting going around saying "grandpa poops" so I'm thinking that wasn't such a good idea.....:)
