Missing Caleb

Dear Caleb, this is a message from your Papa who missed seeing you today. Hope you like your name in MONSTER letters!!! ARRRGGGHHH!!!!

Shopping for Eyes: Monkey See ...

"AAAAAAAAH"




"EEWWWWWWWW"




"THPFWWWWWWWW"

Note:
Final picture depicts aforementioned "Naughty Face", introduced and explained in January.
As of the end of February, Naughty Face remains an entertainment favorite.

Shopping for Eyes: Four Eyes

"What do you think of red? Too flashy?"




"How about Green?
These complement my skin tone don't they?"




"Oh YES, I do look marvelous."

"Frankly, if you want to gain any respect in this world..."

"...You need to ease up on the flair and amp up the "edge" factor.
It doesn't hurt to turn the glasses right side up either."

Who knew that shopping for Cody's new glasses would turn into a fun toddler outing? Caleb ran and squealed and tried on just about every pair of glasses he could reach. I captured a few on camera, but unfortunately missed one of my favorite pairs: a knock-off of none-other-than Dwight Schrute from the office. Classic!

Snow Cone School

A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.
~Henry Brooks Adams~

Neighbor Charlie taught Caleb how to eat snow.



Caleb was the most disciplined of students and continues to excel in his craft.
Unfortunately, Charlie forgot to teach Caleb about discolored snow...

An Inch to the Wind

Caleb lost AT LEAST an inch and a half of his lovely locks at the "barber" today, while mom sat in amazement wondering how hair stylists can possibly cut a reasonable line on squirmy children. My squirmy child's hair turned out quite well considering he sat, knelt, torqued, and turned without notice all in an attempt to either keep mom in view or see the guy across the room getting his head shaved.

Undisputed Champion

Yes, that's right, Old Spice was the Undisputed Champion of Champions in the Cranium Party Playoff. Racking up against names like Ozzy Ozbourne, Oprah Winfrey, roast beef sandwiches, casinos, pole vaulting and strip poker; the big OS had almost unanimous support. At least six of nine party-goers had somehow been involved in the scenario where female compliments male on his "smell" only to find out his scent of choice is the trophy taker itself. Pheromone confusion causing male confidence via cologne-infused deodorant: Let's be honest, it's a win-win situation for everyone and if that isn't powerful marketing, I don't know what is.

Brilliance in Art

Caleb added a white sock to the tippy top of our lego castle. He then looked at me, smiled and said "windsock". I never knew a two-year-old would be able to induce belly laughs via creativity and comedic timing!
