Caleb Year Four Retrospective

Check it out!

Since he is now four, it is time to look back on the last year and discuss some of the highlights and interesting things Caleb has done.

Some quick stats:
Caleb's favorite number is 18.
His favorite colors are red and yellow.
The best thing about being 3 was getting his cake ready.
The thing he is looking forward to most about being four is seeing his preschool teachers. Spoken like a true kid of quarantine.

Some of the big things that happened while Caleb was three:
1. He spent nearly a week in the hospital. It was traumatic (for me).

For Caleb, it's most remembered as the place he got his spider-man bear.

2. He had his first day of school! Preschool, 2 mornings a week.

Caleb loved going and I loved having a little bit of quiet time to run errands by myself or just be alone. Until corona virus hit, and then Caleb didn't have preschool and I didn't have any moments alone, ever again.

3. He began his first ever worldwide pandemic.

Looks like this one will continue for a while into Caleb being four, too.
All the big milestones.

Caleb adores Calista and mostly likes Craig.

They are definitely his favorite people,

but also the ones who make him the most angry.

Sounds like siblings to me, eh?

He hates to sleep alone.

Usually, it's Calista that Caleb wants to sleep next to,

but sometimes he'll come into our bed, too.

At least he knows how to sleep without wiggling.

Caleb has learned a lot this year. He can spell his name and is able to really talk and tell stories.

Of course, sometimes we still can't understand him...

Caleb likes to climb on people and use them as a jungle gym.

Sometimes we even let him.

Caleb enjoys pooping alone in the playroom.

Someday we'll potty train him...

Can sing Paw Patrol theme song by heart.

Probably Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and PJ Masks, too.

Tried to follow me and Calista on a run without us realizing it and managed to get across the busy street alone, and shirtless.

No pictures of the actual event, because I was too busy taking him back across the street and home.

He's gotten pretty good at "helping" me in the kitchen.
