The Caleb Show

Caleb got a new guitar for Christmas from Grammie & Gramps that is so cool! It is a great little guitar. So every once in awhile, he will give us a show. I love The Caleb Show! There is singing, dancing, crowd participation...it's great! Here are some pictures.

Well, ok first this is one of Caleb sitting with Poppy. I just had to include it!
He's really getting into the act here!
He's such a superstar!
Well, ok, this one is of him playing football with Poppy. Not a show picture, but still very cute.
I love how he is holding the guitar in this one! What a funny boy!

What Did You Do At School Today?

Even when Caleb was a little baby I would ask him what he did at school that day. Of course, I knew he wouldn't answer but I always figured the earlier I could get him trained to tell me everything he did all day, the funner it would be. So I was shocked yesterday after being out of school for a week and a half that when I asked him what he did at school, he actually answered. And when I kept for asking for more, he actually gave me more! And the same thing happened today! I'm so excited that he can now tell me what was fun in his day, what made him sad, what made him cry, who was nice, who was mean...really just everything about his day! Now everyone just better be careful because you can be sure that his Momma is going to hear about it! :)

My New Favorite Thing

This is my new favorite thing! I saw it at a craft sale a few months ago and immediately put it on my Christmas list. It is a wickless candle that is heated by a 25 watt light bulb. They come in many, many different designs. You put the wax on the top part and the bulb melts it. The scents come in bars so you can use as much or little as you want. You can even combine scents if you want. I have been using the Orange Harvest scent since I got it, and it is wonderful! There is no danger leaving it on since it is just heated by a light bulb. And it makes my house smell great! It's definitely my favorite thing right now in my house! http://www.scentsy.net/ You should look into getting one!
