Mom, I gotta tell ya....

  I walked into Ella's room to change her diaper this afternoon. I was in there maybe 5 minutes total after changing her and giving her ample amounts of belly kisses. I walk into the living room and Kaleb says, "Mom, I gotta tell ya. I spilled watermelon....and A LOT of it. But, here's the good news, I cleaned it up." What?! Where?! When?! I walked into the kitchen and look around. I looked at Kaleb and with hands on his hips he says, "Well, it was everywhere, so I took out the little broom and swept it all up. It's in the trash. You're really proud of me, huh?" He had his little eyebrow raised and was just waiting for my approval. All I could do was smile and tell him, "Sure am proud, Buddy." I bent over to wipe up the floor and quietly said to myself, "Would've just been better if you wouldn't have spilled it....". He peeked around the corner and said, "Then, you couldn't have been so proud of me." LOL, I tell ya. This kid is always leaving me speechless. He is so witty and always catches me off guard with his responses. I have the hardest time not laughing at him and his sister when I should be disciplining them. Don't worry, I somehow manage. But, wow, they are too funny.
    Tonight I took him to his second swimming class at Swimtastic. He was so excited to go. I love sitting there watching him because EVERY single time that he does something he looks over to me at the window and gives me a thumbs up. Back float, cheesy smile and a thumbs up. Head in the water, cheesy smile and a thumbs up. Super special secret jump at the end of class, you guessed it, cheesy smile and a thumbs up. HA! I laugh through the whole lesson :)
