Callahan's Journal

Callahan ate bran cereal and raisins for breakfast.  For lunch he ate chicken, whole wheat pita bread, tomatoes, and pears. Atley looked at Callahan first thing this morning and said, "Oh! I see you got your hair cut."  Haha! First picture; There is just something about a striped suit and bars on the gates!  Haha!!  I have to take a picture every time! Next picture: Callahan on the climber going up to the balance beam.  A favorite spot to play.  I think the following picture is very cute.  Svea is hiding in the dress-up clothes and Callahan was peeking around the corner at her.  (You can see her foot sticking out by his foot.)  They played there for a long time. Next picture: Callahan was playing with one of the phones and saying, "Hi hi hi hi hi....."  Then he was holding it up to his ear and "talking" some more.  Last picture: Svea came over and was whipping her head back and forth, watching her hair in the mirror, and...

Our meals today are different than the posted meals.  A couple of unforeseen difficulties, so for lunch I used leftovers from Wednesday lunch.  For breakfast; Callahan ate cheerios and dried plums.  For Lunch we had leftover "Whole 30" chili with meat, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, tomato sauce, and lots of yummy spices.  He also ate whole wheat dinner roll and pineapple. This first picture is leftover from yesterday afternoon.  The "older" kids, specifically Svea in this case who will soon be 2  haha, were playing with the flashlights and when she put her's down Cal was right there to snatch it.  And of course promptly started chewing on it as you can see when I took this picture.  But it kind of lights up his face in a fun way; especially if you look at it close up.  :) More pictures; Does this next picture look familiar!?!  Yes I thought so too!  Middle picture; There are 5 of the Daycare kids in this picture; Baby Mil...

Callahan ate waffle and fruit salad for breakfast.  For lunch he ate some of everything; Meat loaf (favorite), whole wheat tortillas (least favorite), carrots, and cherries. This first picture is left over from yesterday afternoon.  Hanging out beside Baby Miles again.  Callahan is very curious of course, but he's also very sweet and learning quickly to be gentle.  These two will have lots of fun together for as long as they are at Little Treasures.  And perhaps this is the beginning of a life long friendship!!  :) Next picture; Callahan was hanging out at the big gate watching Lauralea in the kitchen.  There's a Preschool book rack in front of him, just over the top of his head, and I have to move it away from the gate.  Otherwise I will find Preschool books scattered around in the Daycare Room.  Haha! Next picture:  The four older kids were playing on the mattress and being rowdy with the two big bears we got out yesterday. ...

Callahan ate French toast and strawberries for breakfast.  For lunch he ate "Whole 30" chili with meat, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, tomato sauce, and lots of yummy spices.  The kids love this meal!!  He also ate bites of whole wheat dinner roll and ate tropical fruit. First picture: For any who may not have seen this picture yet, this is where the kids wait at the window to wave bye to their parent in the morning.  After waving to Daddy Colin this morning I put Cal on the floor, but he zoomed right back over and climbed up there to look around and Linnea soon joined him as well.  (At this point in the day these two kids were the only ones here.) Next two pictures;  See the legos flower on the yellow part of the climber.  Those legos flowers have been a favorite toy of Cal's for months!!!  Not sure why, except it does fit in his mouth perfectly and it goes there frequently!!  He's done that since he came here!!  It's NOT a "c...

Callahan ate whole wheat English muffin and grapes for breakfast.  For lunch he ate pork chop meat, whole wheat toast, bite of beets, and ate applesauce.  We had the lady from the Food Program come and check us at Lunch time to make sure we're serving the foods we claim, and she also checks things like freezer temperature, refrigerator temperature, attendance sheets, etc.  Callahan handled a stranger in the house very well.  I was wondering how he'd do and he did just fine. First picture:  Callahan likes this chair because he can rock it back-n-forth and it also goes around and around.  You can't really tell by the picture, but he had it rocking big time and was pretty pleased with himself!!  :) Next picture:  Callahan heading up on the blue balance beam again.  He loves playing in this area.  Linnea is keeping a close eye on him and she's ready to yell out any violations she may spot.  Haha! It cracks me up how they will be b...

Callahan ate whole wheat Chex cereal and peaches for breakfast.  For lunch he ate ground beef mixed with avocado, half of tomatoes, and ate mandarin oranges. As you probably recall from Hudson's Blogs I post lots of pictures because they tell such a good story; often much better than I can describe it!  Plus, and this is huge, it saves me lots of time!! Posting these pictures takes very little time; quick and easy!!  Cal was playing in the igloo and was super happy to find a little flashlight that Svea had left behind.  (see in his right hand)  Second picture: The very first place he went as soon as he arrived - right to the mattress and onto the balance beam.  Such a fun place to crawl and climb. Next picture: Does this picture look familiar?  :)  If you see the same picture over and over you can safely assume that's a favorite place to play or he's doing a favorite activity!!  He loves standing on one of the dividers in the book rac...

Happy Birthday Callahan!!  :)  And welcome back any previous readers of Hudson's Blogs!!  Just a reminder; Callahan's Blogs will be posted from around 12:30 - 2:30 every day.  With 6 kids, and I'm doing 5 Blogs, the times may vary a little day to day.  However, I love doing these Blogs for all the families and especially the out of town families. Callahan ate whole wheat bagel (toasted with butter) and two servings of peaches for breakfast.  For lunch he ate hamburger and sausage pizza on whole wheat pizza crust with tomato sauce, peppers, pineapple, and olives.  He also had some pineapple on the side.   As most of you probably already know this little fella can consume some groceries.  He's a great eater and not picky!!  (Not yet, anyhow!  Haha) I'm doing these Blogs at nap time so the majority of pictures and activities I post are from the morning.  I will also post pictures from the previous afternoon.  So, these ...
