More Maffoo-D and Caleb-isms

Matthew (aka "Maffoo-D") is a precious little guy. He's been fighting a cold recently, but is now completely pulling himself up and walking along furniture. He's a super fast crawler, too, and gets into everything. He's a tough little cookie; he's constantly bonking his head and just getting up and keeping going. He's such a precious little chunky fellow. He plays so well by himself, and loves to clap, wave, and play the "rums" (drums; much to caleb's chagrin).

He has a bird that he loves to sleep with. If it's naptime/bedtime, we give him this cute little stuffed bird, and he finds the tag, and sleeps with the bird. Very cute. I'm glad he's got the bird.

A few things I heard myself saying today (mostly related to water!):
1) Don't drink and sing at the same time.
2) Those aren't fish in your water.
3) Caleb: "Look! I have ice in my water!" Me: "Please don't dip your crackers in your water."

Explanation:
1) Caleb loves to sing, and was trying valiantly to sing along with me and drink his water at the same time.
2) I put a shot of lemon juice in his water, and he stirred it around with his finger and saw the pulp floating around, and said, "Are those fish?"
3) No explanation needed.

Today I asked Caleb what his favorite thing to do at preschool is, and without a pause, he yelled, "PAINT!"

The other day, I was trying to stuff the double jogger in the back of the van, and couldn't quite figure it all out.

Caleb overheard me, and said, "Mommy, what's the matter?" I said, "Oh, nothin..."

He was insistent and said, "Yes, mommy, you do have a matter!" Cute. :)

The other day, Caleb asked John for something. He called John "mommy" by accident. John said, "Caleb, who am I?" Caleb thought for a second and said, "OTHER mommy!" :)

The other day, I was crying in the van, and Caleb said, "Mommy... whatsa matter? Do you need to blow your nose with kweenex when we get home?" :) Precious boy.

And I think that's all.

Caleb has been learning about where he came from.. He still gets a little confused about where he was born. He knows that he lived in my tummy for a while (and he was very very tiny! complete with fingers pinched and high pitched voice!). Fun. :) He also knows the state he was born in is "Tabifornia" (aka California).

Fun times. Fun kids.
