3.5 Years old...

It's been super long since i updated last...

Well, Caleb is now a big brother! He's really just SO wonderful and loving towards his baby brother. Baby Micah is 4 months now, and Caleb has shown no signs of jealousy and is just constantly showering his little brother with his attention and many hugs and kisses. :)

Here's some of my fav pics of the brothers:


Caleb loves to try to get Micah to eat his teething rings :) He also often goes to "hang out with Micah" when Micah is on his playmat, etc.


Caleb loves to ring to Micah. Other favorites are singing songs, dancing, and putting on puppet shows for Micah


Caleb always says how he will take really good care of Micah


Some random Caleb stories that I just want to document somewhere...

• 12/2009: On the way to take Caleb to daycare, was listening to a rock radio station. But apparently wasn't edifying enough for caleb who said "mommy, change the music station to positive, encouraging Caleb" (yes, he thinks K-love is named after him ;) )
  
• 2/2010: We often take walks together in our neighborhood. As always, Caleb stopped to pick me flowers. I said "Thanks Caleb, you're always so sweet to mommy. That makes me happy." He replied "If it makes you happy mommy, I'd pick all the flowers in the whole world for you." :)
  
• 2/2010: every morning when Caleb wakes, I join him in bed and hang out with him a little bit before he gets up. One morning, Caleb put both hands on my face, looked me deep in the eyes and said "mommy, i love you. i'm always going to take care of you. when i'm a grown up, i'm going to take you on the bus." (which to caleb is probably just about the coolest thing ever. which is pretty amazing since he only rode the bus once in bermuda and once in new york)
  
• 2/2010: For a few weeks, Caleb started only been giving gabe hugs and not kisses because he said "kisses are for ladies, you're not a lady, daddy." then he runs to give me a kiss.
  
• 2/2010: Caleb often says "HI! mommy you say 'hi'" and when I say "Hi" he repeats me and says "HEY! we have the same voice!"
  
• 3/2010: Every night (for a few months), caleb prays the same prayer. "dear God, please make sure that mommy is ok and help her to watch where she's going and be careful. amen." Since then, he started praying for others...see below :)
  
• 3/2010: My mom heard caleb peeing in the bathroom without the light on, so she went to see if he wanted some light. caleb noticed her in the bathroom doorway and exclaimed "hey! wai poa (grandma), this is NOT a show!"
  
• 4/2010: i was talking to caleb about how mommy and daddy's 7 year anniversary is coming up and had this conversation. caleb: but i'm only 3. me: yeah, we've been married much longer than you've even been alive. caleb: it's ok that you're old, mommy and daddy. yeah, that's ok to be old. i love you. -_-
  
• 4/2010: caleb said "if you and daddy want to go on a date night, I'll watch Micah. don't worry, i'll take gooooood care of him." if only i could take him up on his offer without getting reported to child services.
  
• 7/2010:As usual, Caleb, Micah, Gabe & I were all hanging out on Caleb's bed at bedtime. WE were playing around and started tickling/zebbeting Caleb. He was laughing and laughing and then yelled "I'm TOO Loved! There's TOO much love!!!"
  
• 7/2010: We were at dinner when Caleb noticed a duck hunt style video game. he grabbed both guns and started to do a little dance while shaking the guns around. he named what was on the screen ("shoot the tanks" "shoot the people" "shoot the animals") then it displayed a wall of beer bottles and caleb exclaimed "Shoot the juices!"
  
• 8/2010: we were talking about an 80's theme party we went to & i said "most of the girls weren't dressed up." caleb looked up and asked "they were naked?!"
