Kaleb's 4th birthday.......



My baby boy is 4, and isn't a baby anymore. Sometime in the last few months he went from a toddler to a big boy.

Ever so often I look at him, and wonder what happened. He's a big boy, so tall no more baby chubbiness. He still has his light brown hair, but its definitely darker than this time last year, I wonder if it will go blond during the summer again. But I don't think it will, it seems to be getting darker as the months go by.

Kaleb is very loving towards me , he wants to snuggle buggle every morning before we start out day, and won't go to sleep until we've snuggled and talked about our day.

He is very good now at telling stories, he will go on and on about things he's done, or what happened at school. Of course every time you ask him what they had for lunch, his answer is always dirt and worms.




He seems to have matured a bit lately also, he is following directions much better. If I want him to get dressed I don't have to say get pants, get a shirt , get underwear, I can just say get dressed.




He will be moving up into the raptor room soon at daycare, which is kind of a sad thing for me, since the kids started at the daycare one of them has always been a twiddle-bug, so mommy has to come to terms with the fact that both kids are growing up.


Hot wheels are his favorite thing to play with, Aunt Kerri gave him a box for Christmas that was full of them, and he takes the time to set them all up. Its funny to watch him and Scarlett playing together, she will get out the little ponies and somehow hot wheels and ponies go together.


Kaleb and Scarlett are still the best of friends, they are both very protective of each other. If Kaleb gets a treat he has to make sure Scarlett is getting one also. He always includes her in everything he does, and wants to be with her no matter what she is doing.


Bed time is not one of his strong suits, unlike Scarlett Kaleb dosen't seem to need much sleep. It is a struggle to get him to stay in his bed at night, he does the 5 reason why I have to get up every night. We are starting to let him stay up longer than Scarlett, just because he really is not tired. So while Scarlett is in bed snoring away, he is playing with his trucks or reading a book.


A mamma's boy for sure, Kaleb is my guy, he dosen't want daddy if he's hurt or angry. Martin says I baby him, which is probably true, he is so different from his sister and I figure while he wants and needs me I better enjoy it.

Brrrrr its so cold here today......

-34c with the windchill.

Poor Kaleb was crying that his fingers hurt, I was putting him in van which is in garage and didn't think to put his gloves on.

So I ended up getting their hats and gloves out of their school bags, it was that cold.

We are so ready for winter to be over. With these cold temps the kids are not getting outside while at daycare, so they are all going stir crazy.

Last week Christine (Kaleb's teacher) said that they took them outside for 10min, just because they were all out of control, and needed to get rid of some energy. They had them run around the perimeter of the yard just to burn off some energy.

You can see the toil it is taking on both teachers and the kids, everyone is tired of winter, and praying for the warmer weather to come.
