Callahan ate blueberry bagel and two large servings of grapes for breakfast. For lunch he ate shrimp, a large serving of brown rice, ate most of his broccoli, and ate mixed berries.

Before breakfast Miles asked me; "Gary, are we having grapes?" (It's a daily question!!) "Yes we are!" Miles said, "Yay!! You made grapes!" LOL! Yup, I whipped up a batch of grapes! Then Cal asked, "Gary, are we having crumbs?" Me: "What!?! Crumbs?!?" Cal: "Yes, are we having crumbs?" Me: "What kind of crumbs?" Cal; "Uhhh...yummy crumbs!" LOL. What a goof.

Lunch conversation: Svea said to me; "We're pretending this is our airplane and this is the dining room and that is the play room." Ok. She continued; "We're going to California. There are lots of toys and slides." She thought about that and then asked me; "Is California real!!" I couldn't completely lie so I said, "Well sort of real." Haha. (amusing myself) So then I asked; "Cal, have you ever been to Montana?" He said, "No." Me: "Svea, have you ever been to Montana?" Svea; "No." Cal: "Miles, have you ever been to Montana?" Miles; "Yes." Cal; "Did you love it?" Miles; "Yes." :)
More Lunch conversation: Cal asked Svea, "Can you tell me about when you and Avi were babies?" 
Svea said, "No." But then she proceeded to make up some pretty elaborate stories about them as babies!!
Then Cal said, "Hey Gary, how many inches am I?" 
Svea immediately answered his question; "You are 5." And he was satisfied with that answer. As I listened to them they were interchanging Age and Inches. :)

First picture: Cal and Miles were reading books in the cozy corner area. You can see the shapes and different colors on Cal's book. They were arguing about "Purple!" "No it's Pink!" "It's Purple!!" "It's Pink!" Without my intervention they agreed on it being "Purple." Good job Boys!! I was sitting there going though my options; Svea's not here. So I'll have to get Lauralea's professional opinion. Haha. 

Next picture: Playing the Ladybug Game with Svea. This helps them identify their numbers and Svea is starting SO she was playing for BOTH of them. (Turning the cards over and counting off the spaces the card showed.) Cal was content to watch and he said, "I hope we win!!" LOL!! Geez that made me laugh!! Last picture: Look at Svea's tough girl posture. Ha. She said, "We're pretending like we are bad cowboys! Because we are dressing up like bad cowboys!!" What about the bare-footed cowboy?!? Is he a bad dude too? :)

Callahan ate whole wheat toast and mangoes for breakfast. For lunch he ate two large servings of ground beef with marinara sauce on top of two large servings of whole wheat spaghetti noodles, ate green beans, and fruit salad. First picture: The girls were doing "origami for children" and following an instructional video folding paper into butterflies. Cal wanted to do some kind of Art so he decided on practicing some cutting again. That's been his "go to thing" lately. He always asks if he can put the many pieces on his Cubby for "Mom and Dad." Haha. Second picture; Having fun with Avi. She loves to rough-house with the boys and of course they love it as well! It's no wonder why Avi, Cal, and Miles are good buddies. Next two pictures: Miles brought his Fire Truck today and shared it for a short period. He was fine sharing with Avi, but didn't want Cal to touch it. So it went back to his Cubby. Following picture; Back to the Front End Loaders!! ...

Callahan ate waffle and two large servings of grapes - LOVE those Candy Snaps - for breakfast. For lunch he ate half of his chicken, ate whole wheat tortillas, corn, and apple pieces.  This was Cal's first activity after waving bye to Dad and Hudson this morning. Art projects haven't been his first choice so this is picture worthy!! :) Next picture; The boys wanted Avi to lift them out of the chair and of course she was ready to oblige them. Uhhmmm, maybe you should take your game to the Play room where the landing is not hardwood floor. But first I gotta get a picture. Ha. Following picture: They were doing random jumps, butt bombs, and face plants. I encouraged them to synchronize their maneuvers for a photo - haha, right - but I could have stood there taking pictures all day and it probably wouldn't have happened. Last two pictures: Once again the girls didn't want to go outside so I basically stand at the entrance door watching the boys through the window and monito...

Hello to all of Cal and Hudson's Family!! As you all know Little Treasures is soon to close it's doors and I'll be moving on to another phase of my life. I'm totally serious when I say all the Boyle Family has been super close to my heart and all of you guys are the best. It's all passed so quickly and today is Cal's last day here. What a blast it's been to have Cal in my Program. As he's gotten older and his sense of humor has developed I must say; I think Cal and I are both inflicted with a serious case of silliness!! Haha. He makes me laugh so much. Here's to you Cal; or "Bob" or "Bob Sanks." Love you so much. Here are two parting pictures: Cal and Miles playing "Ring around the Rosy." Nothing more fun than "we all fall down!!" Ha. Last picture: The girls are watching a "Chicken Dance" video and dancing/singing along with it. The boys, meanwhile, are marching to their own drum and Miles is chanting...
