More Kalebisms

Super Kaleb has a super smile!

Giggling Madly!

Lately, Kaleb's been really interested in Superman... he's been watching the old school cartoons, and has his dad's Superman poster hanging in his room. I think there's also a new PBS cartoon called Super Readers that he likes. We sometimes call him Super Kaleb and Dylan Super Baby. Tonight as we were reading scriptures together (the kind with pictures for Kaleb) he saw a picture of Jesus and said it was Super Guy. Ben said, "Are you sure?" He then said it was "Super Jesus." :)

We've also been working on getting Kaleb to fall asleep on his own. He's used to being cuddled to sleep by Ben or me. Our trick is to tuck him in, sing a few songs, then tell him we'll be back to check on him. He's pretty tricky himself and tries to get one of us to sleep with him by being super sweet, going in for a hug, and then "wrestling" us down beside him. The other night he yelled that he needed something...we're thinking water, the bathroom, all the usual ploys to get out of bed. Ben goes in and asks what he needs... K's response, "I need Mom." Aaah....how can you resist that?!? Somehow I did that night, but there's a reason he's 2 1/2 and still getting cuddled to sleep.

This one's for Mom & Uncle Ron! Today we were rocking out to Sh-Boom on Kaleb's CARS CD, while stuck in traffic. I was singing along as usual and Kaleb told me, "No Mom, don't sing that part!" My mom once hit her brother with a frying pan for singing "her song" when they were kids and doing dishes together! Too funny... I guess some things never change.

Kaleb has also been very "needy" lately. I need to go to the park. I need to watch cartoons. I need to play stamps. I need to have a lollipop, etc. Whenever I tell him no, his first response is, "But Mo-om, I NEED to." Sometimes I think I have a teenager stuck in that 2 year old body of his!
