Hi Ho A Dairy-o
A-camping we will go…
Yes, we went camping during that last week in August when the weather was freezing cold. Despite having to leave a day early, and almost freezing temperatures at night, we had a fun time. Gordon Bay was an awesome campsite, and we’ll definately go back… maybe next time we’ll rent an RV!
Meet the newest Olympian… debuting the new sport of the 2020 games – Basketgolf!
Judges – what score do you give Caleb on his first attempt?
This is what Caleb thinks of his score of three…
As the only participant he gets Canada’s first gold in the sport – and becomes the new face of the Wheaties box! Now who wouldn’t want to stare at this cuteness while eating their cereal!
Â
We are on day four of potty training… a few accidents, but so far we’ve had numerous pees in the potty, a few poops…and we now have a three year old who believes diapers are for babies. YAY! (Changing a three year old’s diaper is nasty! Although, changing a poopy accident isn’t any better!)
Also – he lost his sucky tonight…he’s not supposed to take it out of his room and it’s only supposed to be for bedtime. The wnderfully natural consequence is that he lost it somewhere and had to go to bed without. Kudos to our baby-sitters Amanda and Brett who had to deal with the tears of no sucky. Caleb may get his big boy fishes before the summer is out.
Our Little Monkey in his monkey pool! (Fully clothed of course!)
Dear Caleb,
You are now three years old…THREE! Holy smokes! (“Ohwee kokes” as you would say!) You are just over three feet tall and weigh in at just over 28 pounds… you’ve gotten taller and skinnier! Pants don’t fit you very well anymore – they are always too short in the length and too big in the waist. You’ve survived your first half year of preschool, you’ve moved into a “big boy” bed and you will sometimes pee on the potty. You are trying to dress and undress yourself, and can bathe all of yourself – although you still need some help. You help with dusting, sweeping, watering the plants, setting the table and cooking. You are truely an independent, and often stubborn little boy! This has to be the most appropriate shirt in your wardrobe!
 
You are challenging yourself and us everyday as you question the rules and try to figure out for yourself what’s right and wrong. And you’ve definately found your voice – it’s often very loud. We are so pleased with how much your speech has improved, especially the last few weeks. It’s wonderful to hear about all the amazing thoughts that happen in your head.
It’s hard to image that three years ago you were this tiny totally dependent little being who would sleep forever on my chest and could fit in the palm of daddy’s hand. We are truely blessed to have you.Â
I love you little squishy!
Love,
Mommy
