Caleb~ 3 years old

I can't believe my little man is 3 years old.  Wow time sure does fly. Mr. Caleb is growing like a weed.  He's really gotten tall and thin lately and he looks more and more like his Daddy every day.  Somedays I look at him and wonder if I really had anything to do with bringing him into the world LOL!  Caleb has been potty trained for a couple months already which was pretty surprising.  I didn't expect him to be fully trained already but once he started staying dry at daycare I knew it was time so I pushed through and put him in underwear.  He had plenty of accidents but he's now pretty much accident free.  He still won't do the big job at daycare but at least he doesn't have accidents.  He feels more comfortable at home which is pretty common.  He's really smart and talks a lot (unless he doesn't know you then he's shy guy).  He asks many questions which are usually about farming so I usually direct him to his dad.  He's learning a lot at daycare, he knows when his birthday his, he is counting more and more every day, he's learning letters and so many new things. 

Caleb had a checkup with Dr. Springer.  His stats are:  33 lbs and 38 inches!

Caleb is very excited to turn three because that means he gets to join his brother downstairs at daycare in the 3 year old room.  Caleb has a girlfriend at daycare named Danica.  They are about 2 weeks apart in age and Caleb loves her.  He talks about her a lot and he told me he gets to turn 3 and be with Danica again.  When we were at Herritage Days a few weeks ago we saw Danica and her Mom in the park.  Caleb went over to her and they were holding hands just talking away.  It was the cutest.  They should be good friends, they've been going to daycare together since they were just a few months old.

Caleb's experienced a few "trying three's" moments already but honestly he's a really laid back child and just goes with the flow.  His personality is so much like my own.  I see myself in so many things he says and does.  Lately I've been getting a lot of "are they twins" comments about the boys.  They look nothing alike (obviously) but they are close in size.  These 2 boys couldn't be more different then night and day but they also couldn't be any closer even if they were biologically related.  They truly were meant to be brothers. 

This summer we got the boys new tricycles for becoming potty trained.  It's basically their "big birthday gift" only they get to use it now.  We decided to give each boy a smaller gift on their actual birthday.  Caleb will be having his party next week so I can post pictures then.  We're also working on a plan to take the boys to Boone for "A Day With Thomas".  I can't wait because I want to see their excitement.

I dedided to give up on JCP pictures and just do my own for Caleb.  I saved money on pictures and gas and they turned out good enough for me.  I'll probably attempt the same thing with Isaac since I have a nice camera now.

Be on the lookout for birthday party pictures soon.  In the meantime here are a few pictures I took of Caleb for his 3 year old photo shoot.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY CALEB BENJAMIN~ WE LOVE YOU!
