Way to go Caleb!!

I feel like I've had alot of posts recently about ole Sidney, and thought it was time to give a shout out to her little brother. This big guy has encountered several transitions over the past few months and has done an amazing job rolling with the punches. :) Here are some of his accomplishments...

1. Potty training way back at the beginning of the summer! Figured it out in 4 days....go Caleb! And, he has somehow stayed dry at night from day one of the daytime training. I definitely didn't expect that one....maybe he's a perfectionist....

2. Moving to a big boy bed! He loves, loves, loves sleeping in the same room as Sid and being in a bunk bed. And, he loves, loves, loves to talk to her at night....still working on curbing that a little bit. :)

3. Giving up his pacis!!! This was the one I was most worried about. He only used them at bed time, but oh the love that he had for them! It took him a little while to figure out how to fall asleep without them, but he was really tough and figured it out without even crying. What a big boy!

4. Sending big sis off to school. Once again, he's surprised me and has adjusted quite well to Sid being at school all day. And, if we're being honest, he gets out of bed much faster and definitely more cheerfully than me and Sid on these early mornings. He is most definitely a "morning person" like his daddy. :) Although one morning last week when I was first waking them up, he moaned and stretched and said "Oh, that was fast." Cracked me up. :)



Well, there you have it. For the most part, he is one pretty laid back almost 3 year old (yikes!). We'll see how he does with one more big transition in 7 weeks or so, but I think he will be a fantastic big brother!

It has been so long since I checked your blog, I didn't know you were pregnant. Congratulations! Sydney and Caleb are adorable. I love hearing about their adventures. The birthday party looked awesome by the way. Someday (before they start looking like grown-ups) we have to get Caleb and Will together. They look like they could be brothers and I think they have a lot of personality traits in common. So cute! I'm glad you guys are doing well!
