First bloody lip (twice in one day)

November 5-11, 2012

Every day we dance to the piano's demo songs. It is one of Caleb's favorite things to do. 

Tuesday Allen had his exam in the morning and while he was gone Caleb and I were playing outside, when Caleb tripped and hit the curb hard with his face. He skinned up his nose and got a bloody lip. In an effort to stop the swelling, we came in and had some ice cream. I didn't have any Popsicles.

When Allen got back, we went to vote and then stopped at the park. Caleb was playing with Dad and was trying to push him down the slide, when he slipped off a step and bashed his face again. This time the bloody lip was on the left side and started to swell immediately. After crying for a minute or two, he wanted to go down the slide. He also went on the big kid swing by himself for the first time.

One of his favorite things at the park is a bridge that he runs back and forth over and over again. He also loves to climb up the tube slide.

You can see his scraped nose a little bit and the beginning of his fat lip. 

He loves driving his cars on the tile.

Caleb likes to imitate Dad and plug cords into the computer to try to watch TV. 

My friend Michelle is having a baby boy in December so we had a baby shower for her. While I was trying to get pictures of everyone, someone told me I should come get a picture of Caleb. . . this is what I saw when I found him:

He had taken the bag full of extra chips and dumped it on the floor. 

And then started to smash them and spread them everywhere. Awesome. 

Caleb loves to carry bags around. Whether it's my bag or Allen's, it doesn't matter. 

Saturday I went with the Primary kids to the temple to walk on the grounds and meet with the temple president while Allen stayed home with napping Caleb and Sunday I taught sharing time for the first time!
