Caleb's Big Boy Bed

 By the end of the summer, Caleb was becoming an escape artist from his crib.  

Here he is in his crib for the last time!

And here he is in his new bed, and new room - with a door - to prevent midnight wandering.

It took a week or so, but he's back to his old wonderful sleeping-12-hours-a-night self!

Josiah's 4th Birthday Party

On September 9, Josiah and his Gwamma celebrated another birthday together.

The theme was 'UP', one of the birthday kids' favorite movies.

See Carl hiding in the trees?  You will know him by his glasses.

Streaming streamers in the forest is a good time - who knew? 

Balloons - get it?

A birthday parade!

We did bubbles and chalk painting.

Some favorite gifts included a fishing pole.

And an alien game.  

Josiah said, "You have been chosen!" when he caught one.

The boys loved this gigantic teeter-totter in the woods.

Cousin Jonathan had a great time exploring the wild!

And so did Carl & Ellie!

As a new 4 year old, you love to do puzzles, play in the sandbox, read books, and play with Caleb all day long.  You say the funniest things every day.  You and Luke are still partners in crime in your Sunday School class.  You still aren't much of a sleeper or eater.  You're starting to read words like stop, monkey, and piglet.  You like going to the walking track and playground with friends, story hour at the library, and Cubbies.

Happy 4th birthday, Josiah!

We love you so much!
