Stickers

The greatest thing has happened lately. It was a slow development, so I can't tell you exactly when... but Caleb has learned to pull stickers off the page for himself. Hallelujah! For the longest time he wouldn't even try. Then he could do it, but not if they were the small ones. Now he's a sticker expert. This doesn't sound like it would be a big deal, but he loves stickers. Considering their quiet, unassuming nature I love stickers too! They have the magical ability to keep him quiet for minutes on end!
To celebrate his new skill, Caleb has decorated his legs, body, and clothes with stickers each day for four days now. He shows no signs of stopping. He'll sit quietly somewhere and methodically cover himself. Then he waddles in... saying OUCH the whole way... to tell me he has stickers. BUT DON'T TRY TO TAKE THEM OFF! This is very important. He says they hurt, but DON'T TRY TO TAKE THEM OFF! Any sticker removal is entirely up to him. If you remember this, you'll be okay. And here's a completely unrelated picture of him sleeping. He doesn't always nap anymore, so I usually become suspicious if he gets too quiet. I went in to check on him and this is what I found. Hehehe. Too cute.

Have a sticker-tastic day!
