I almost forgot....

Tonight Katherine had gymnastics at Chow's. Before we went in, I had the "you need to be a good boy for Mommy, there will be a lot of people in there" talk. We had a meeting of the minds, and he promised to sit quietly and watch the Katherine. He was being really good, UNTIL....

The lady sitting on the bench next to us lets one rip - very loudly. Caleb just couldn't contain himself.

"Did you hear that Mommy? Someone just had a tummy burp!!".

** Tummy burp is a Katherine original. When she was little she started calling "farts" "toots" etc... a "tummy burp", and I just couldn't correct her. It was so innocent, so precious, so funny, such a trademark comment, that I just didn't mess it up. Needless to say, Caleb has adopted it, and thankfully, most people don't immediately know what they're talking about. Remember when you first heard it, Danyel????

I tried to ignore him.... I really did. I just looked at him, smiled and nodded so that he'd know I heard it too. Would he just let it drop? Oh, hell no. Not a chance. Not Caleb. He's obsessed with anything stinky and this was no exception.

He starts YELLING. "I smell something Mommy. Something is stinky! Do you smell that Mommy? What is it? I think it's the tummy burp from that lady (at this point he's pointing right at her). I SMEEEELLL something stinky!!"

Yet again, he never ceases to amaze me! There are days....... LOL!!
