Yes, that is just the frosting from a cupcake.

The Daily Caleb: 1/28/11

Flying up the ramp:

"My hands don't work."

At least that's what Caleb told me tonight at the dinner table when he "needed" help to finish eating his dinner. Apparently this was caused by a tummy ache.

Funny, that tummy ache went away once I reminded him that he wouldn't get any cake unless he finished his dinner.

He still needed help, but his hands seemed to work just fine, as he grabbed my hand to get the food to his mouth faster.

Funny kid.

Caleb and Santa

I found this picture from last month, when Caleb and I went to breakfast at our church one Saturday morning, and we got to meet Santa Claus! I love the look on Caleb's face, and how he's holding Santa's hand to keep him from leaving our table:
