Caleb and Dilan
Just wanted to share some pictures from when Dilan, Laura's "German", was here. Caleb really liked her (we all did!) and he asks where she is once in awhile. The last picture is just Caleb being his goofy self...not sure what he was doing in that picture!! Being 2, I guess. He's getting really good at acting his age.

Happy Halloween!
We had a fun Halloween with Caleb this year. It's the first time we've really celebrated with him. He dressed up as a gorilla (he called it a monkey) for Halloween...he had a party at daycare during the day and we went trick or treating at night. We only made it to 4 houses but he got plenty of candy! He loved saying "trick or treat" and "Happy Halloween!" We also carved pumpkins...this did not interest Caleb too much, but he liked looking at the "pumpquin's" scary faces. He has been loving all the candy..so much so that I've to hide it. I will post our Halloween pictures in a separate post.
The last two nights we've been back to having major sleeping issues. I am not sure where this is coming from, Caleb has been sleeping great for the longest time now. Starting Sunday night he woke up after sleeping for only an hour and he was just hysterical, crying that he wanted out of his crib. I was trying to console him and he kept crying "I want Daddy's crib!" I'm thinking he wanted to sleep in our bed, but he has not done that for a long time so I don't understand why he wants that now!! Everytime I left the room and tried to let him cry it out, he would scream "MOMMY"..it's so hard to listen to your baby cry for you. I couldn't stay out of his room. I really don't think anything is wrong with him except that he is learning how to manipulate me! He did the same thing last night at bedtime...the whole routine, brushing teeth, story, etc went fine until it was time for me to leave the room. Then he needed a hug from Daddy, he wanted the light on..just one thing after another to delay the inevitable. Both nights I have ended up staying in his room until he's sound asleep. The first night I laid on the floor with a blanket and pillow and last night I held his hand through the slats in his crib. It's pathetic. Well, I'm pathetic. Please think good sleeping vibes for us!
