Today while shopping for a birthday present for a girl Caleb told me on the way to the store that he didn't want to go down the girl aisles because he found them so annoying. Or something like that. Cracked me up. We decided that Annika would get a present for Kairi from the girl aisle and Caleb could get one not from the girl aisle. At first he found super boy toys but I was afraid that she would open them and say it was a boy toy and not like it. when I told Caleb that, he was impressive and really started looking for things he knew Kairi liked. He wanted to get her some animals because that's what she liked to play with at our house. I knew she had animals at her house so I talked him into a game--one of those velcro ball games. He was glad because she could play it with her dad (he likes to play stuff with his dad and was mindful that Kairi was also in a divorce situation and might like to play things with her dad) and he also saw that he could play it with her. Annika found some lip gloss. I found a really annoying noise Dora card that said Happy Birthday Feliz Cumpleanos in a Dora voice over and over again...I may be getting pay back some time in the future. I thought Caleb was really thoughtful though and was really happy to see him think about other's being happy.

A few weeks ago it was Jadon's birthday. Jadon is our next door neighbor and he and Caleb play together lots. Caleb bought him legos so that he could get into them. For quite some time Caleb has just wanted to play legos and nothing else. Jadon hasn't been interested in playing legos. Granted there were some personal motives in there too but Caleb was so excited for Jadon to have his own legos so that he would start liking legos.
