This boy is a delight....

Caleb turned two and a half yesterday-I cannot hardly believe it. He is truly a delight in our lives and everyone just loves his happy, outgoing personality. At two and a half he loves to play with his tools, and sleeps with his hammer most of the time. He loves to line up all his tools according to what they are. He is 100% boy. For Valentine's day we got him a set of race cars from the CARS movie and he could not be happier with "nigthning mapeen" as he calls him. He loves talking to his cars and playing with them on every surface. He loves the color green and it is the first color or marker he chooses. He completely enjoys coloring especially if Halle is doing her homework, he will ask "Mom, color too?" He is using 4-5 words to make a complete thought.
some of Caleb's most used phrases include....
other bed too= that means he wants to sleep in our bed
I want to=if he agrees
I don't want to=if he doesn't agree
where'd Hayee go?
where is Hayee going?
sorry mom=he is very apologetic
Mom, watch a hatoon?=this means cartoon watching and he loves Mickey Mouse and the Little Einstiens.
Where'd haci go? That is his word for Pacifier and he still uses it....
You ring mom?=means can you give me your hand so I can stroke your ring

Caleb loves to talk about his tools-let me rephrase that He just loves to talk and does so all that time. He can say without hesitation wrench, hammer, nail, screwdriver and tool box. I do not think anyone taught him how to use these things but he seemed to have it completely figured out from the moment he opened his toolbox on Christmas Eve. He certainly could have learned it from watching his PaPa.
The best things about our little "C" as we like to call him is his overall patient, happy, and loving attitude. He is animated and loves to dance at worship time, sing at the top of his lungs, giggle with his sister and love on her even more. Generally, Caleb dives into life with all that he has and has no fear or hesitation. He has taught his sister to be a little less cautious. When he hugs you, he squeezes hard...when he kisses you, it is several times...when he laughs it is a full belly giggle....when he has his mind set to do something...he does it! He is such a blessing to everyone around him and very loved. Last night when I was laying him down for bed, I told him that I loved him and for the very first time he said I love you Mama.....










Here he is with his rain boots...he puts these on just for fun each day and walks around....
