Santa...12/12/11

We went to the doctor this past Monday to hear the new baby's heartbeat.  Cael was able to come and was so excited...while the midwife was trying to find the heartbeat, she was talking to Cael to distract him...


Midwife: So, are you ready for Christmas?
Cael: Yes!
Midwife: Are you excited for Santa to come to your house?  Is he going to bring you lots of good things?
Cael: (giving her a concerned look) You know Santa is not real? (then, trying to encourage her) But God gives us good stuff all the time...
Midwife: So...are you going to get good stuff for Christmas?
Cael: Yes!


Hahaha...she wasn't sure what to say.  Lucky for her, she found the heartbeat and the conversation was over.  I love my son!

Backfire...11/29/11

Cael was getting ready for school this morning while I fixed my hair...


Cael: (putting on his red uniform shirt) Mom, why don't I have a white shirt?
Me: We don't buy the white uniform shirts because they get dirty so quickly.  
Cael: I really want a white one...
Me: Sorry big guy, we don't have any.
Cael: Well, Steven gets to wear white shirts...
Me: Is your name Steven?
Cael: Well, I wanted to name me Steven but you decided on Cael...


I had to laugh.  I'm pretty sure he still wants the white shirt and that Steven will be his example when we have this conversation again...

Nice Try...11/14/11

We were sitting down for dinner last night when Jarod and Cael had this conversation...


Cael: (looking at Jarod's glass)  Dad, I have water...is that Sprite?
Jarod: (trying to answer the question without confirming or lying)  It's clear just like your water.  Why would you say it's Sprite?
Cael: Well, water doesn't have bubbles and yours does.  It's Sprite...nice try.


Busted!  Jarod just looked at me with his "this is your child" expression...at least he's observant!  

Cheesy Jokes 101...11/13/11

Cael was on the phone with my dad last night talking about Spiderman when he thought of a joke...


Cael: Papa, when does a spider wake up to eat?
Papa: When?  I guess whenever he wants to...
Cael: "Web"-feast...Not whenever he wants to.  Where did you get that?  That's just crazy...


I'm sure this is the first of many cheesy jokes to be told by my child...he is, after all, his father's son and part Brock!  I'm just not sure where he got this first one...

Baggy Pants...10/20/11

Jarod and I were getting Cael ready for school this morning and Jarod put his new pants on him without fully adjusting the waist.  We made it down the stairs before Cael started complaining...


Cael: Dad, my pants aren't right!  They keep falling down...
Jarod: Let me see...I think they're fine...
Me: (chuckling because I know how Cael is about his clothes) Just tighten them a bit...
Cael: Look Dad, I'm not going to deal with pants that fall down all day...


Hahaha...I hope and pray that he keeps this attitude all his life!  I hate to see boys with clothes that are falling off!!  PS. We fixed his pants after we quit laughing...he just kept saying, "Stop laughing at me!  I'm serious, I don't want my pants to keep falling down! They need to fit!"  I really do love this child!

I know him...10/17/11

Cael was talking to my dad on the phone today...


Daddy: Alright, Spiderman...I have to go in here and talk to this store manager but I'll call you back later.
Cael: What's his name?
Daddy: His name is Joe.  You don't know him.
Cael: Sure, I know him!  His name is Joe...he's a manager!


Hahaha...Spiderman has connections I don't even know about!

Thin Air...10/16/11

Cael and I were goofing off and picking on one another before I put him down for a nap...


Me: Cael, you're crazy!
Cael: (to no one) Crazy?! She called me crazy!
Me: Cael, who are you talking to?
Cael: What?
Me: Who are you talking to?  There isn't anyone else here...you're talking to thin air...
Cael: (to me) You're thin air! (to no one)  Ha...she calls me crazy and then wants to know who I'm  talking to! 


I still have no idea who he was talking to...maybe I'm the crazy one!
