Days Off With Daddy!!

Dan was off work yesterday and today so Caleb had big plans for him. Caleb's favorite things to do with Daddy is to take a shower and rebuild his train tracks. Yesterday when Dan got up they took a shower together and built the first train track. Then Dan found train track layouts for "Thomas The Train" online. He printed a bunch out and put a whole book together for Caleb. I tell you that it doesn't get more impressive than that - a daddy who can make a train track book!! Caleb was totally in awe and took the book to bed with him last night with the promise from daddy that they would build another setup in the morning. I think that Caleb's train table and Thomas the train toys were the best thing we got him into. Occasionally he will play with his other toys, but he mostly spends hours entertaining himself with his trains. You can really see his little mind at work. He is starting to learn that he can figure out how to configure the train track and he sounds so proud when he says "I did it!!".

Elton has a double ear infection and is trying as hard as possible to keep up his usual playful temperment. I also think he might be starting to teeth even though I don't see or feel anything yet.

Tonight we are all going to the drive-in and going to see "Charlie & The Choclate Factory". Dan and Caleb watched the old version "Willie Wonka & The Choclate Factory" a few days ago to get ready for tonight. This is about the easiest way for Dan and I to get to a movie right now. We tried it a couple of times with Caleb 2 years ago and would just let him sleep during the movie. I'm sure that's what Elton will do, but this time Caleb will probably stay awake for the movie.
