My little reader

As I've said before, Caleb loves to read books. One of his favorites is Goodnight, Gorilla. We have read it probably hundreds of time. I noticed a week or two ago that he can pretty much say all the words. One part has all the animals saying "good night" in little speech bubbles- some of the print is big and some is little... hence, the different "voices" he uses. Of course, the kindergarten teacher in me is beaming with pride, so I had to share!

He's a dancing king...

Caleb's new favorite dancing tune is the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" that his stuffed spider plays. We really like the "hands on the knees" move- not sure who taught him that one. He literally dances multiple times every day...not kidding.

Caleb gets tickled...

Caleb loves the episode of "Backyardigans" where they are doing hurdles in a race... it cracks him up everytime!

Caleb's barnyard sounds

Caleb shows off his animal sounds skillz... and his funny voices.

New things...

Well, I'm many months behind, but in the spirit of trying, here are some things Mr. Caleb has been doing lately:

*Says "ready to roll" when we are about to go somewhere

*Says "we go bye bye"

*Very consistently says "thank you"... working on "please"

*Experiments with using different voices to say things (high squeak, low voice, etc)

*Loves to give hugs, will consent to letting us kiss his head :)

*Knows many animal sounds, knows body parts, can say numbers 1-10, and knows several colors.

Little man is our special guy!

Christmas '09

Caleb liked ripping the paper off- but if it had a bow, the bow HAD to come off first. Just another little quirk for our OCD boy...:)

Here's a good "cheese" in front of the train table Santa brought him... he played with it for about an hour Christmas morning. I think Santa hit the mark...

The George Jr. High volleyball team bought him some neat gifts. They got him The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and he immediately wanted to read it. This boy loves him some books.

What a sweet face...
