Cal - 01/11/2021

Callahan ate some kix cereal and ate two servings of fruit cocktail for breakfast.  For lunch he ate ground turkey, two servings of toasted sandwich thins, ate avocado, tomato, and two servings of cherries.  

I had a super good relaxing time in Louisiana.  So fun to hang out with Grandson Gideon and I spent my time playing with him, visiting with my family, walking, and reading.  They live in the country so it was very easy to isolate and hide from the dreaded virus.  :)  I must mention this was the first time I've been to an area devastated by hurricane and it's pretty much indescribable.  Even this many months after Hurricane Laura.  It was precious to return home and see the kiddos this morning!!  So fun after a few days gone!!  And it was lots more days since I had seen Cal and he had SO much FUN with all his friends this morning.  

This morning Cal kept saying, "Frosty the Snowman. Frosty the Snowman. Frosty the Snowman. Frosty the Snowman."  He loves Frosty the Snowman!!  Haha.  I said, "Sorry Cal, but Frosty went thumpity thump thump, thumpity thump thump over the hills of snow!!"  Goodbye Frosty!!  

We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend and that just added to all the excitement!!  Cal found lots to do and stayed very busy all morning as you can see in the pictures below.  He had all these food toys laid out, but then switched up by doing some work that required wearing a hardhat!!  :)  He was so cute with the hardhat, but as soon as he saw me taking a picture, then off came the hat!!  :)

Next picture;  Avi was gone, but 4 out of the 5 kids here today wanted to play with some keys in the same spot and of course at the same time!!  Kids may frequently do unpredictable things, but at the same time kids are super predictable!!  Which has made my life very exciting!!  Haha.  Last picture:  Cal and Miles were both pretty infatuated with these "drills."  The white "drill bits" go in and out - which you can see in the picture - and the boys loved that.  Miles had one in his hand almost all morning.

Callahan ate kix cereal and fruit cocktail for breakfast. For lunch he ate two servings of ground turkey, bites of whole wheat hamburger bun, ate avocado, tomatoes, and cherries. I took this first picture shortly after Cal arrived and I just thought it was cute how he was sitting on the edge of the mattress reading his book. Second picture: He and Atley were having fun being silly before anyone else arrived. These two are basically on the same humor level. Haha. They find each other to be quite hilarious. Next picture: Cal actually did quite a bit of Art - although I think he eventually tossed most of it in the trash. He was doing stickers, drawing, and gluing with the glue stick. This next picture is pretty funny as Cal was singing, "I'm keeping your .......?!?........ forever and ever." I never could figure out what he was keeping forever and always, but it was pretty cute!! :) Last picture: Cal was throwing the paper airplane off the balance beam. This is actually a pr...

Callahan ate two servings of bran cereal and ate most of raisins for breakfast. For lunch he ate chicken, bites of toasted whole wheat pita bread, bites of cucumbers, ate avocado, and ate pears. At Lunch time Cal asked me; "How you day Gary?" Excellent. He'd repeat it; I'd say excellent. He finally said, "Say good." Haha. I didn't realize that was why he kept repeating it!!  We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend and these two guys were playing with the bunny ears. Miles put it on his head by himself one time, but in the second picture Cal had put it on him. :) Next picture: Miles likes getting in these tight spots and hanging out. So you can probably guess what Cal was asking him, right!? "Can I come in?!?" "Can I come in?" Can I come in?" Oh sure Cal, there is lots of room, come on in!! :) Silly kids. Last picture: Cal was playing with the food toys, mixing and stirring with the spoons and then Miles joined him fo...

Callahan ate two servings of whole wheat English muffin and ate grapes for breakfast. For lunch he ate bites of pork roast, some whole wheat toast, half of his beets, and ate applesauce.  Callahan and Svea were arguing about giving Alexa instructions. Cal was yelling, "more" and Svea was yelling, "Stop." That was bugging Eden and she came over and asked, "Why are you fighting?" And Cal verbalized it very well. Eden asked, "Do you know rock-paper-scissors?" That hit my funny bone. Oh well, nice try Eden. First picture: Story on the left and Eden on the right were pretending to sleep after Cal arrived and he was intent on waking them. Ha. Second picture: Cal and Miles after a spider - they said they saw one - I never saw it. They ended up jostling for territory that the imaginary (maybe) spider had just vacated. Haha. Svea asked Alexa for "Animal Workout" and Cal was playing along with her for a little bit. Miles started dinking around be...
