This week's happenings

We did some fun stuff this week. Playgroup with friends, a couple visits to the park, a new tumbling class that we checked out and Caleb loved, a field trip to the airport, an airplane craft in potluck preschool, and harvest of the month. This month's theme was root vegetables. I tried really hard to keep him super busy and active every morning so that come nap time after lunch he would be tired and take a good nap without those binks (and he's transitioned to one nap a day this week too) kind of a lot at once for us. Keeping our mornings busy everyday helped my sanity and Caleb's fussy times. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera at all these fun things :( We got a few pictures at the airport thanks to our friends that remembered their Camera.
Here is our week in a nutshell.

I was so excited about the tumbling class we tried out. I thought Caleb would be clingy and stay close by to me, but he jumped right in and participated. They had an obstacle course for the kids, bars, a trampoline, and floor time. It's basically gymnastics for 2 year olds. Kind of cute! We have never taken a (paid) class together and most our activities are through the Moms Club which is free (membership is only 20 bucks a year. Kind of nice!). I thought it would be nice for him to try out a 'structured' class with me, that lets him get out all his wiggles. Especially now that he is so into climbing into everything. He loved the coach and had smiles for everyone.

Our field trip was at a local airport (which daddy would have loved had he been there) the kids got free kid sized airplanes to build and fly at home and had a tour of the place (Caleb was not so interested, and really just wanted to eat) It was a cool experience though and I feel so blessed to be able to take him to these great things through the local Moms Club.

And lastly, I feel I should do a little update on our yard. Dave's been working outside everyday after work (with Caleb's help of course) they fixed the sprinklers this week. Caleb helped clean them off in the water and made sure to sweep the entire front yard. Every time I poked my head outside or stole sneaks from the window I would catch sight of Caleb standing as close as can be to Dave inspecting whatever Dave was looking at, or wandering around trying to be useful by sweeping the yard, or getting distracted and bending down to pick up sticks and rocks along the way. It melted my heart every time I saw Caleb squeezed up next to Dave. There's nothing like the look Caleb gets on his face whenever Daddy walks through the door, or comes into sight. Da'da was his first word, and I must say, he is definitely a Daddy's boy. He loves his daddy

Here are some pictures at the local airport where we took our field trip.
