Callahan ate French toast and ate two servings of strawberries for breakfast. For lunch he ate two servings of ground turkey mixed with two servings of avocado, ate toasted whole wheat sandwich thin, ate tomatoes, and cherries.

One of my all-time favorite things about taking care of children; listening to them talk as they learn language. The way they formulate their sentences without proper structure is frequently hilarious and Svea does some classics. This is a pretty simple one, but it's still cute. She was putting food toys in her mouth and then Cal started putting food toys in his mouth. Of course she needed to "report" his violations to me!! "Hey Gary, Cal got MY germs on me." Haha. I think you'll survive!
 
Last night while I was playing with Cal at Bubba's ballgame I asked Cal if he loved (cousin) Nora. She was listening and she laughed hard when he said, "No." I told Lauralea about it and Lauralea was quizzing Cal when I took this first picture. She said, "Hey Cal, who do you love?" Cal said, "I love you and Gary." That was so cute. He's no dummy; he knows when to suck up to the right people. :)

Next picture; Cal never hesitated for a second when Avi told him to get on her back. Miles, on the other hand, wasn't sure what she wanted. Ha. (Miles doesn't have a big brother at home.) Following picture: Lauralea is going into her office on Wednesdays now - one day per week. The boys were slightly confused because we've been calling one of the backrooms "Lauralea's office."

So we went outside this morning to beat the heat of the afternoon. The kids had so much fun. Their first observation about the lawn was hilarious as they ran through the grass making comments about how tall the grass is. Nora expressed what everyone was thinking; "Gary!! You grass really REALLY needs to be cut!!" Haha. Yes I know and Tate is coming tomorrow because he couldn't make it today. :) Next picture: I almost missed this picture, but the Garbage Men waved at the kids this morning. Last picture: Svea, Cal, and Miles on the teeter-totter outside.

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...
