Madi the Mountain Climber

Madi is such a climber. This morning, she had been playing in Caleb's room with little people, but I noticed that she had been quiet for a suspiciously long time. I walked in to find her standing on top of his desk! The amazing thing is that she got down all by herself, with no booms - just like a pro.

Oh, Madi the Wild - climber of furniture, dumper of garbage, scavenger of dirty diapers, shredder of books, thieve of dishes - what are we going to do with you? And on top of it all, we can't stay mad at you because you're so very cute and sweet and loveable!

A boy needs a pet, right?

Caleb is upset. He's stomping around the house and scowling. He's just asked for a pet baby jaguar and been turned down. Matt told him that it's illegal. But Diego has one - it's not fair!

Caleb Quote of the Day

Today, Caleb was reflecting on having a sister... "I love Madi too. I'm so glad you went to the doctor and got her. I'm so excited."

Aside from being sweet, this is amusing on a number of levels. We certainly didn't go anywhere to get Madi, and we went to great lengths to make sure a doctor wasn't involved! How did Caleb get this little story into his head?

What a Mess!

This was a while ago, but it still cracks me up...

Caleb Quote O' the Day

"I'm not a genius. I'm just a boy." and
"Madi's not a elf princess. She's a little girl."

Sweet Brother

Madi cut her mouth, and I asked Caleb to help me watch out for her so that she wouldn't get hurt again. Caleb said, "I will take care of she because I love her very much." How sweet!
