Caleb's Daycare Trial Day

Dave worked from home today so he could come along with us to Caleb's daycare and meet Christa, the lady who will be taking care of our little. We went for 11am, and we got him in and put him down, he was a little unsure of things, but with the dog around, he was very curious. So we left him there, after he went gladly in Christa's arms. As I was getting into the truck, Dave says "Ahhh he thinks she's his new mom, how does that make you feel?" Grrrr, I told him that was a very mean thing to say! While Caleb was there, I got to cleaning the house and moving things around to make way for the Christmas tree which I hope to put up tomorrow.

We then went back at 1:00 to pick Caleb up, we went in and chatted to see how things went. Well, he made art! She got paint out and he put it on his hands and made us a picture! I was so thrilled! Then he had 1/2 a turkey sandwich, some fruit, cheese and yogurt for lunch. A big boy lunch! She read him stories which he loves, and that was it. He was so happy when we got there, he was happy to see us, but he was having a blast with all the new and different toys. So I'm releaved that everything went so well. I just hope that when it comes time for me to pick him up, he won't be sad to leave there!

Tomorrow night, we're heading to Toronto for a couple of days. We're going to shop at the Eaton Centre for Christmas, and try to get Caleb with Santa! It should be lots of fun. Saturday we are taking Caleb to my work's Kid's Christmas party, that should be fun too!

My Baby is Becoming a Little Boy

Caleb is 11 Month's quickly becoming 1 year old! I can't believe it. Where has this year gone? I know I keep saying this, but it's because I keep thinking about it! I have a variety of pictures to mark his 11 months. Today, in the snow, I took him out to check it out, and I got some great shots.






I'm trying to make the most out of my few days left I have with him. And cherish the moments, even the ones that drive me crazy sometimes!
Well he's finally sleeping for his morning nap, which means I need to take advantage of this time and get myself showered!

3 weeks and counting

That's right. I only have 3 weeks left of my maternity leave, then I'm heading back to work. I'm feeling a little sad about this. But at the same time, I know it will be good for me, and December will probably fly by fast, I'm only working 4 days a week in Dec. and on top of that, there's Christmas parties and lunches to attend, it will be fine.

I'm sad because I know how much I'm going to miss my baby. I'm sad that I won't know what he will be doing all the time. I might miss his first steps. But I don't want to dwell on this. It won't be for forever.

Last week was fun. On Wednesday I went to my parents place and stayed over night. Them my parents came with me and Caleb to the Royal Winter Fair. It was nice to go, not sure if me expectations were met, but Caleb did so good at being stuck in the stroller for the day. He did get a kick out of the animals, so that was good.

Christmas shopping is well underway. We have several people knocked off our list already and we only have a few left to shop for. My only issue is finding something for Dave. I have a problem because I want to make everything meaningful. Then I get stuck trying to think of that one super special gift, and I run out of time! Hopefully I will be able to pull off something great!

I wasted a good 2 hours and 13 minutes of my life watching Knocked Up. Who makes a stupid, vulgar comedy that long anyway?? Then later on Dave and I watched Spiderman 3. That was alright.

This coming week I'm going to be stressed out! This weekend is such a busy one. Friday night we have a couple coming over for dessert, then Saturday I'm hosting my mom's 60th b-day party and then on Sunday we have some people coming over for lunch. Yikes, I'll be tired come Monday!

Well we're off to Starfish this morning. Caleb just loves it. He splashes the whole time. Last week him and Cara were splashing eachother, it was so funny!

Don't hit the Skunk on the road!!!

Oh So Tired.

I don't even know where I left off. And I don't even really feel like typing, I just feel tired. But it's nice and easy when the computer sits right on your lap. Almost 4 weeks left until returning to work. I don't like thinking about this. Christmas is only 7 weeks away, I like thinking about that. Shoot me if you dare, but I'm wishing for a white Christmas. We'll see if God comes through on that one.


I've been to the movies lots! I've seen The Heartbreak Kid, We Own the Night AND Dan In Real Life. I liked all three, but I especially liked Dan in Real Life. Wow, that was 3 movies in a week! I had coupons I wanted to use up!

Last night was Halloween fun! Caleb was a cute Skunk. He was so absolutely adorable. We went Trick or treating with Christa, Steve and Cara. Cara was a kangaroo, very sweet she was! They were a hit. Dave stayed home to hand out candy and he kept a tally of visitors, and we had almost 75. I thought we would have had more. Oh well.

Tuesday night I had a tupperware party to attend. It was a "been there, done that" kind of experience, but it was fun. After I got home, Dave and I carved our pumpkin and we even roasted the seeds. It was good times!

Now Caleb was crawling around naked, I need to go and put his p.j.'s on.

Hold On

Ahhh, to sleep he is. He's such a cutie. I have decided that he says a few things. For sure his first words are "All Done" he says it like "ahhl da" and he says Dad, and Hi Dad. No da da, or daddy, just Dad. It's so sweet.

Anyway, I think I shall go now. I will post Caleb's halloween shots soon.
