Genius...9/28/11

I was on the way to work/school with Cael when someone cut us off and almost caused an accident...


Cael: Hey, Genius!  Mom, who let that genius drive?


Funny...I was thinking the exact same thing...

Raining...9/20/11

My mom was getting ready to leave for work this morning when Cael stopped her...


Cael: Grandma! Grandma?
Mom: Yes, Cael?
Cael: Grandma, I really really love you and it's raining outside.  Maybe you should stay home until it stops so you don't get soaked...


Such a sweet kid...I love the relationship they have!

Matching...9/19/11

Cael and I were getting ready to go on a picnic with his daddy and some friends...

Cael: Mom, we match!
Me: We do? That's great!
Cael: We do match...you always match me.
Me: It's because I'm awesome...right?
Cael: (giving me the strangest look) No...it's because we wear the same color...

Thank you, Cael, for once again making me feel silly and giving me a good laugh all at once!

Precisely...9/16/11

We were driving home from Alabama this past weekend and it was getting pretty late.  Cael was bored and trying to keep himself awake...


Cael: Mom, do you see this toy? (holding up a Ninja Turtle)
Me: Yes...
Cael: Who is it?
Me: It's a Ninja Turtle.  Leonardo.
Cael: What color is his mask?
Me: Blue.
Cael: What does he fight with?
Me: Swords.
Cael: What color is his belt?
Me: I don't know...black?
Cael: No, no, no...incorrect.  His belt is brown, mom.  Let's try this again...What color is his belt?
Me: Brown...
Cael: Correct!  Grandma, what color is his belt?
My mom: Brown?
Cael: Precisely!  Good job!


He cracks me up with some of the words he picks up...and uses correctly!

People are sleeping...9/4/11

We went to my uncle's house this past Sunday to spend some time with family.  We left pretty late to head home.  Cael wanted to listen to his favorite song on the way home (I want it all back)...


Cael: Dad, can I listen to "Take it, take it by force"? 
Jarod: Sure.  (turning on the song and turning it up)
Cael: (Very serious) Dad!  Turn that down!  It's late and people are sleeping!  You are going to wake them up!
Jarod: They can't hear the music in our car.  
Cael: They can if it's loud.  Turn it down!  


Such a conscientious child.  Making his mother proud and his father laugh...

Doctors and Babies...9/2/11

We recently found out that my cousin and his lovely wife are having a baby (exciting news).  I was telling Cael about it before we met them for lunch this past Sunday...


Me: Aunt Brittany is going to have a baby.
Cael: TODAY?
Me: No, not today.  She won't have the baby for several more months.  She has the baby in her belly right now.
Cael: Oh.  Is it a boy or a girl?
Me: Well, we don't know yet.
Cael: Why?
Me: Well, the doctor can't tell if it is a boy or girl, yet.  They have to wait a few months...
Cael: That's ridiculous!  They need another doctor that will tell.  
Me:  Do you think it's a boy or a girl?
Cael: I don't know.  They can have whatever they want...


I did inform my cousin and his wife that Cael thinks their doctor needs to be replaced and that they can choose the gender of this child.  Life, according to Cael, could be so easy...
