Judy and I stayed overnight at Caleb's house while Jeff and Jenn got away for the night. Caleb didn't even fuss when they left and seemed excited to have someone to play with.
Caleb's inside car goes in just one direction - forward, and because he doesn't understand how to steer he usually runs into the wall or a piece of furniture in no time.

Caleb showed us how to put the balls onto the pegs, but he wasn't interested in matching the colors.
After Caleb wore Grandma out, Grandpa got his chance tossing him around.

Next it was time for Caleb's bath. Just like Maggie, he likes to feel the running water.
Caleb loves to take a bath, but he just has to touch that water.

After his bath, Caleb had some Cheerios for his snack. Riley stands on guard to catch anything that falls to the floor.
A little later Caleb shows he can eat by himself, which really puts Riley on alert.

Caleb loves to drink. He downed 3 full bottles of juice and another bottle of milk.
Finally Caleb is clean, has a full tummy, and is ready to go to bed.

The next morning, Grandpa got Caleb up and fixed his breakfast. Caleb likes to have a waffle with peanutbutter on it - something his mother taught him.
Later Caleb figured out how to scrape off the peanutbutter and some of it even made it to his mouth.

Caleb enjoys sitting in his booster chair, where he can put his foot up on the table and relax while he's eating.
Caleb decided that the cereal clamp was a necklace, but he couldn't figure out how to make it stay on.

After his breakfast, Caleb pushed one of the kitchen chairs over to window so he could see outside.
He wanted to make some noise so Grandma, who had finally gotten up, gave Caleb the empty coffee can and a spoon.

We wanted to get to the park before it got too hot, so Grandma took Caleb upstairs to get him dressed.
The park is only a few blocks away, so we let Caleb drive his car.

First Caleb took a ride on the swing. It almost seemed to put him to sleep.
Judy got on one of the bigger swings next to Caleb.

We weren't sure if Caleb would go down through the long red tunnel. I waited below with the camera while Judy got Caleb seated at the top.
Without any hesitation Caleb came sliding down and gave me a big smile!

There was another slide, and Caleb took several rides on it before we headed back for home.
Before long, Jeff and Jenn got home. Although we had a good time, Caleb was very happy to see them!
