Lee and I picked up dinner at Whole Foods on Saturday evening. We let the boys ride together in the cart. They both had a blast driving the truck around the store. Near the end, we noticed that Caleb was holding a "Chocolate Chewies $4.99 ea." sign. He looked very distraught and was scared that they were going to get in trouble. It was evident that he had just taken it away from Graysen, who was the one who swiped it in the first place. Caleb follows all rules and never touches anything at a store. Graysen does not have the same conscience.
Also, on Saturday, Caleb said his entire alphabet from A to Z and counted to 20. Lee and I are amazed by how much he teaches himself. We do not push him at all. He spends a lot of time at night and in the morning studying books. Our rule is that he has to go in his room at night, but he does not necessarily have to go to bed. He can't play with toys, but he can read and spend time with all of his books. Through this process, he has taught himself many things.
We went to the circus last night. Cynthia, Jaime, and Essence went with us. We had front row seats and had a great time. Graysen liked to clap randomly, especially when Essence was clapping. Caleb was amazed by the acrobats, and really enjoyed watching the animals. I had bought him a set of circus animals for the show, and he loved to match his animal with the animal that he was watching at the time. It was really cute and fun to watch how much he enjoyed the experience.
Both boys wanted to help Daddy install babyproof locks on the cabinets. I am not sure if they helped or hindered.
Lee and I closed on our new house on Friday. We absolutely love the house, and are really looking forward to getting settled. There is a lot of work that needs to be done before we can move such as cleaning, painting, new carpet, etc... We are spending this weekend cleaning and babyproofing the house. The above picture is of Caleb and Graysen at Wal-Mart buying babyproofing supplies. Caleb never got into Mommy's cabinets or electrical sockets, but Graysen is a different story. Graysen is a wild man.
We were supposed to go to Gastonia today to spend the day with Lisa and Emily. Unfortunately, Graysen woke up sick and had to go to the doctor. Since he was on amoxicillin earlier in the month, the doctor prescribed a much stronger antibiotic. She thinks that he has a bacterial infection and just needs extra help fighting it. We go back on Wednesday for his well visit, so hopefully he will be better by then.
