My silly little boy!

I just have to write two funny things down before I forget. Caleb is constantly saying funny things and making all of us laugh.

Today we were making cupcakes for Valentine's Day and he asked if he could eat one. We had just baked them but I was going to frost them after they cooled. I said, "Sure, but you have to eat your lunch first." Well, he gobbled up his lunch and then asked for one. I gave him one and he got a huge smile on his face and took a big bite. Immediately his face changed to disgust and he said, "Uh um, oh, I can't eat this! It hasn't been decorated! It needs frosting!" I started laughing because he was so indignant that he needed frosting and sprinkles on his cupcake! Yes, I know, the best part of the cupcake. :)

Caleb and I were looking out his window after nap today. We were talking about all the different things we could see: a tractor, the grass, some rocks... I started talking about the wind. "Caleb look how windy it is out there." To which my 2 year old replies, "Oh my land!" What in the world? Am I turning him into an 80 year old woman? I guess that expression does slip out of my mouth sometimes. :)

And one more... we had some leftover hershey kisses from Christmas in a jar on the counter (the peppermint kind). I say had because Caleb was playing in the kitchen the other day when I went to change Abigail's diaper. I didn't hear anything for a couple minutes so I came back to see what he was up to. He had dragged a chair over to the counter and opened the jar, dumped all the kisses onto the counter and unwrapped them all. When I got to the kitchen he was in the process of shoving some of the unwrapped ones into his mouth and putting some back into the jar. I'm not sure how he decided which ones to eat and which ones to put back in the jar. I said, "Caleb, how many have you eaten?" He answered, "Just 3 mama" Well, ok then keep eating. 3 to him could mean 10. He lost it when I told him as only a kind mother can, "Ok, just 1 more." He shoots back, "No, 2 more, please!" Let's just say 1 more turned into no more... Oh the joys of parenting.
