Calebisms

Caleb is at such a fun age right now. He keeps us laughing by saying the funniest things, along with mispronouncing certain words. Here are a few that will hopefully put a smile on your face.

Elephantant = Elephant

Motorsoaker = Motorcycle

Outer face = Outer space

In the chicken = In the kitchen

Night night crock n site = Goodnight goodnight construction site

Sliperly = Slippery

Help you = Help me

Mamote = Remote

Potato = Play-doh

Caleb is becoming very polite.  Miss Terri at daycare said she's never seen someone so polite at his age.  He asks, "Can I go potty please?"  I remember the first day when I sneezed and Caleb said bless you mommy.  Just tonight, Caleb was sitting in his chair with Dave reading a book and I came in to put Caleb's laundry away. As I'm putting his laundry in his dresser he looks up and says thank you mommy.  His kindness makes me smile.  When we are in public he smiles at everyone, waves and says hi.

Caleb had a stretch where he would say bye to everything when we were leaving the house. He would say bye jeep, bye Dusty, bye TV, bye mamote, etc.

At night we pray over all of our family members (Grandpa Harley, Grandma Patty, Uncle Bud, Grandpa Mike, Grandma Lala, Uncle Dan, Auntie Emily, Kaylin, Daddy, Mommy, Caleb and Zoe) and afterwards we ask if there is anyone else he wants to pray for.  He's prayed over Spiderman, Superman, Larry and Bob from VeggieTales, all the characters from Toy Story, friends at school, teachers, Tucker, Rocky, Bruno, the cats, grandpa's truck, the rhino, uncle bud's truck, the four-wheeler, Zeke's shoes and Michael Jordan shoes.

He loves VeggieTales and when he was going through the phase of learning to poop on the potty he asked "Bob poop? Larry poop?"

In his Bible book there was a picture of Jesus waving and Caleb said "High five Jesus!" and proceeded to give Jesus hand on the page a high five.  In that same book he would say "Noah and Noah's wife" and then smack his lips like a kiss sound.  He wanted to be clear that Noah loved his wife.

We've brought hip hop sayings from our day into Caleb's life.  He says "Boomshakalaka", "Shake it like a Polaroid picture" and "Whoomp there it is".

The other day Caleb climbed up on the couch to do "tummy time" with Zoe.  Caleb looked up at Dave and said "Look at these two kids".

One day Caleb's hair was sticking up all over the place from after a nap and I said "Cool hair Caleb".  Later that day he rubbed Zoe's head and said "Coo hair Zoe".

I'm sure he will continue to make us laugh for many years to come!
