Well cyber friends, we took Cale to his first circus on Saturday night (compliments of his great-grandparents!!) and the child ATE IT UP!!!!!! He absolutely loved it!! We got there early and went down to the rings and he got to see an elephant less than two feet away and his eyes got big and he goes, "OOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" LOL Then as the show started some clowns came out and played that song (all I can remember is I've heard it on the net with some dancing hamsters?? If you know where it is or what it is, send it to me please!!) and it had a techno beat and he started clapping and swinging his legs (you can see him doing this in the pictures) and started yelling! He just loved it. Once they turned the lights off he started to get a little clingy, but within 15 minutes he was back in his chair pointing and waving. It was such an awesome experience for us and for him!
Now on the flip side. . .we have a bit of a problem with this child. He tends to be. . .em. . .er. . .stubborn might be the word. He hits/bites/pinches for no reason. He knows he shouldn't do it (he'll tell you it's mean) but he does it regardless. It's that lovely age :) He managed to totally flip lunch upside down after church yesterday. He reached over and slapped the tar out of me and I leaned over and sternly told him, "YOU DO NOT HIT" as I swatted his leg. That just egged him on and daddy took his hiney out of there. He ended up having to leave the restaurant twice and screamed and kicked the entire time. Finally we got our food and ate and Oma took him outside so we could breathe! :) Of course it doesn't help that his Oma and Odie laugh behind their napkins or hands. He's a smart cookie and know that he's entertaining them. In my opinion Oma and Odie need to attend grandparenting school!!
