Cale

Cale loves, loves, loves to talk and he is so smart for his age and talks a lot, sometimes we wonder where he hears some of the things he says! It's amazing all he knows and continues to learn about. Lately he has started calling me and Jeff mom and dad instead of mommy and daddy. I kind of miss the mommy to be honest, it is just one more way my big boy is growing up and some days it just happens too quickly. Cale loves to watch trains at Kirkwood station. He would sit for hours and wait for trains even if he only saw a few. He is so patient and loves to sit and just wait for a train. We have been going to the train station quite regularly since I have been on maternity leave and have the Amtrak schedule memorized! :) He still adores his train table, plays with it everyday and the most out of any of his other toys. His favorite thing is to see how long he can make a train and let me tell you this kid has a lot of trains! He is so cute with Aiden most of the time, he kisses him and talks to him and helps me with him on occasions. He is such a social kid and loves being with and playing with other kids. It's so neat to watch him interact and have such a great time with friends! He adores his aunts and grandparents and loves spending time with them! Here are some fun things he has been saying lately:

The other day when I wasn't paying attention to him he said "mom, mom, Brandi" We cracked up that he called me Brandi. He understands that everyone has a name now, it's hilarious.

"what you got"-we can't sneak anything by this kid anymore, we share everything food related, including sweets-he always figures out we have something-I don't know how kids do that!

"How bout that"

"slowler" instead of slower when he's talking about his trains slowing down like they do in the book "The Little Red Caboose" which is one of his favorite books right now.

"Hey guys" when he wants are attention

"Yeah, actually" when he thinks he's right in telling us something. If we say something he doesn't agree with he will say this and say the opposite of what we say. Like when he wants to go to the Museum of Transportation and we say it's closed he will say something like "Yeah, actually guys it's open"

Cale-you are such a fun age right now. We love watching you grow, explore the world, blossom in relationships, love you love of reading, and just adore you kiddo! We're so proud of you as a kid and proud to be your parents!
