Caleb is practicing

Last Friday

We started our day having some gentle fun with cousin Toria! It was such a nice way to start the day. Caleb spent about 5 minutes rocking her car seat singing, "Hi baby Toria, hi baby Toria." When that got old, he insisted they finish the last 15 minutes of Sesame Street together:

When that was done, Victoria started to fuss a little (I don't blame her, I wouldn't want to be in a car seat that long either). Caleb put his face inches away from her nose, hands on his hips and said, "NO crying. I said NO crying," in a very stern 2 year old tone. Surprisingly, it worked! She thought he was funny.

A little later, we went to our neighbor's birthday party. Victoria was such a good sport. I think she enjoyed watching all those kids in the pool. Anyway, I borrowed these pictures from my neighbor's blog:
