Cal - 09/27/2021

Callahan ate most of kix cereal and ate fruit cocktail for breakfast. For lunch he ate two servings of ground turkey, ate whole wheat hamburger bun, tomatoes, and two servings of cherries. Svea sharing random information at breakfast: "I like unicorns, eagles, and bluebirds." Haha. "Well thank you. Does anyone else feel like sharing things they like?" :)

Cal quotes from this morning: 

"Gary, I want to play John Denver music while I snuggle with you." I like how you think Cal!! :) Alexa, You heard the boy! Play it!! :)

On a walk this morning Cal said, "Gary, look at that Jeep." "How did you know it was a Jeep?" Cal said, "Just like Tu Tu." However, it was NOT white so he was recognizing the shape and style. Good observation Cal. It was the same in shape and style.

We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend and just like I've said every two weeks for years now, "the kids stayed busy all morning." Haha. (That doesn't' seem to change so I'd say the technique has worked and been very successful!!) First picture: This is what Cal did when he arrived and no one else here yet. Cal said, "Get everything out so we can play with it." Second picture: Svea brought a few items from home and then decided to put them back in her cubby. "I'm putting this stuff back so we don't fight over it." :) Third picture: Doctor toys in this set and Cal said, "Can I check him?!?" Ha. "Well you should ask Miles, not me!" Cal moved it across Miles' forehead just like a pro. 

Next picture: The kids had spotted these decorations across the street - and two houses north - and I told them we'd go look at them after breakfast. Cal said, "Ok, fine with me." Haha. If you look closely they have a pretty large assortment of Halloween decorations. When we were getting ready to move on Cal said, "Gary, can we go look at more Christmas decorations?!?" That made me laugh. 

Last picture: So there's a dog laying in the window, but the kids couldn't really see it while sitting down. I don't usually let them stand up in the wagon - I don't even like looking at this picture - but they "really really really wanted to see the dog." :) I said, "It's laying on something." Svea said, "Maybe it's a couch." "And that's a very good guess Svea." We walked around the long block and stopped at the school so the kids could run. They spotted the moon as we were walking and Svea said, "It's following us." :)
