Emily Comes To Play

Emily and Lisa came over to play today. Emily thought that Caleb had the coolest potty. She loved it. This made Caleb interested in it and both of them sat on potties today (big and small ones). As a reward, both were given cupcakes. So, maybe we will make progress on potty training soon. Caleb is not as scared now that Emily has shown him that it can be fun.

Happy Easter!

Here are pictures of Graysen and Caleb from this morning. Caleb is very excited about his new car, truck, and the coolest vehicle, the Ford full size service van. He also received a Matchbox plane, but it has been rejected as not interesting. Graysen received a little puppy stuffed toy. Caleb also looked for eggs filled with jelly beans this morning. He did great once he got the hang of it.

Easter Egg Hunt

Caleb and Emily went to an Easter egg hunt this morning in Gastonia. Caleb was an expert egg hunter. He ran and collected over ten eggs! (It helped that the hunt was divided into age groups.) Caleb and Emily had a good time.

Caleb loves to clean!

I was cleaning the bathtub today, and I looked behind me, and Caleb was cleaning the "potty." He then proceeded to clean his potty. Then, he realized that he couldn't reach the mirror, ran and got a stool, and cleaned the mirror. This was all without my instruction and without me asking. He loves to clean. He cleans perfectly. He knows where everything goes and lines up everything parallel, just how I like things. It was so cute!

A Rare Smile

Grumpy Graysen rarely smiles, but I was able to catch one this morning. He enjoyed watching Caleb and Katelin play with Easter eggs.

Egg Hunt Practice

Katelin's mom brought over plastic eggs for the kids to play with this morning. They loved the eggs. Caleb is now ready for his big Easter egg hunt on Saturday.

Everybody is Sleeping!

All three kids are taking their naps right now. I am enjoying the few minutes of quiet that I have. Thankfully Mr. Graysen is asleep. He has been a fussy monster the past few days. He is definitely not as laid back as Caleb is. These are a few pictures of Caleb and Katelin playing this morning with stuffed animals. Caleb loves all of his stuffed animals. They are his buddies at night and during the day. Geoffry (a giraffe) is his best friend, and currently the Easter Bunny (blue, not to be mixed up with Pooh Bunny) is his other favorite. I think that is because we have been talking a lot about Easter and he always goes and gets his bunny. Speaking of Easter, I heard through the grapevine that the Easter Bunny may have put some cars in Caleb's basket...
