baa baa black sheep

Caleb got some really fun Elmo overalls for his birthday..they were waiting in a package for him from cousin Carla when we returned home after our Memorial Day trip. Of course he loved them, and insisted on wearing them the next day. I snapped this picture in our garage, because it was a rainy day and that's where we play now! All was good, until Caleb discovered he couldn't get to his belly button. I had to show him how to reach inside. The belly button is very important, and we must have access at all times.

I got Brandon tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld for his birthday last month. Jill and Brian came down from Albany to go with us and we went to dinner in Mystic, CT before the show. Brandon had a requested a restaurant with a deck where he could eat oysters. I did some research and found the perfect place. They even had lobster bisque, yum! We were running late and rushing to make our 6:00 reservation. (I'm not sure why, because its not a retirement community) We finally got there at 6:30 only to find that the restaurant as well as half of the town were experiencing a power outage. We ended up at delicious Italian place across the street. The best calamari ever and lobster ravioli....yummy!

The show was a lot of fun, and afterward Brian and Brandon did some gambling. Us girls were going to go shopping, but the closed the shops up and midnight, so we ate some pie instead.

We had a quiet day on Saturday. Had the usual pancake breakfast and said good-bye to our friends. Caleb did not/ would not take a nap and we made plans to have dinner with our friends Sam and Patty (Taylor and Sydney's mom and dad) He was pretty good until it was time to leave and then meltdown! We came home where I gave in and let him watch cartoons until he passed out.

Sunday was beautiful and we went to the park. This particular park has chicken and sheep as well as a great playgrounds. When we started talking about the animals Caleb started singing what I am sure was Baa Baa black sheep. What a smartie!

He also went poops on the potty today for the first time and on Thursday he counted all the way 14 by himself (he missed 5, but oh well!) I have decided not to look at child development books to see if he is progressing as he should. I will just carry on thinking he is the smartest kid ever.

We worked in the yard for the afternoon and then had the Lynches over to grill burgers. Here's a shot of Shauna and Caleb tossing rocks at the beach after we walked to Marnicks for ice cream.

After the park, pulling the weeds, scrubbing the decks and a long walk- boy was I feeling pregnant. Speaking of, we have our anatomy scan for the baby tomorrow, to make sure everything is where its supposed to be. Wish us luck!
