Week 1: Complete.

It's amazing how just one week at home with Caleb can make me feel so much closer to him. He's actually been favoring me in the evenings a lot (which is rare - he's definitely always been a daddy's boy). Throughout the day he'll look at me with a big smile and scrunch up his nose and it melts my heart. It's a look that says "I'm so glad you're here with me." <3

On the flip side of that, he hasn't let me get a big head and forget that his Daddy is still a VIP in his book. Today we had this conversation:

Caleb (as he runs in to the kitchen from his bedroom): "Aaaaaa! Mom, the monster's are getting me!!"
Me: "Monsters? Oh no! You better stay in here with Mommy then. I don't want any monster's to get my little boy."
Caleb: "No. It's DADDY'S little boy."

So don't worry, Dad, apparently you're still number 1. ;)

Potty training was another major topic in our house today. He's showing a LOT of improvement and we even tried putting big boy underwear on him for a little bit tonight. Here's there score so far:

Successful potty trips: 6
Accidents: ? I lost count
Underwear casualties: 2

Aaaaand... we're back in pull ups for the night. :) But before we changed, we got one quick photo in the new undies:

(I apologize for the blurry cell phone picture, but mommy was much too tired to get up and get her camera. I know... it's shameful.)

Caleb-isms of the day:
-He was playing with his trucks and talking and said "You're really making me nervous!" lol I think he's heard that somewhere before.
-Caleb was in his room reading all his new Dr. Suess books to himself. He just got them for Christmas from Opa and has them all nearly memorized already. He picked up one and announced "This is Dr. Suess's book." Then he opened each one and turned the pages saying "Hop on Pop!" etc... It was adorable! <3
-We make such a big deal about him going pee on he potty, that he always tries to return the favor. You can't help but laugh when he barges in the bathroom and starts clapping and cheering for you, "YAY! You're peeing!" (and then offers a double high five). It's equally hilarious when I can hear him cheering Clayton on from the other room and Clayton gives him an awkward "Thanks, bud." :)
