Snips and Snails and Puppydog Tails

Our Caleb is truly a Personality Plus. He’s fearless, outgoing, and always coming up with the funniest way of saying things. Here are a couple recent favorites of mine. . .

1. We’ve taken a DISTINCT liking to a new place in Keller, What’s Up Cupcake. Caleb is an icing-guy. When he’s through with a cupcake or a piece of cake, it looks like the icing has been surgically removed – not an iota of icing left, often with the cake part totally intact.  This weekend, Bryan finally convinced Caleb to try eating the cake and the icing together to get the full effect of the treat. A day later, as Caleb was chowing down on the cupcake and icing of a delectable chocolate chip cupcake, he said, “that was a good lesson you taught me, Dad!” Somewhat confused, Bryan said, “what lesson was that?” “About eating the cake and the icing together!”
2. At a birthday dinner for Bryan at BJ’s(where Caleb ordered the Broccoli Cheese soup in the bread bowl – and loved it – he’s SIX, folks!), Caleb was comparing his hair to Bryan’s. Both of them have brown hair, both of them keep it cut really short, and both have a very distinct cowlick right at the front (though on mirror image sides). When Bryan asked what was different about their hair (probably thinking of the thickness difference–Caleb’s hair is very fine–or their mirror image cowlicks), Caleb said, “Well, yours is shinier than mine.” And no, I don’t think he meant Pantene-model shiny…I think he was referring to the gray…

LOVE that kid!!!!
