Caleb and Dr. Seuss

"One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish"- Dr. Seuss

Caleb brought me back a present from his Nana's house this past weekend. Evidently Caleb went fishing at the back pond at his grandparents and caught three fish. As I was unpacking Caleb's overnight bag, I was surprised to discover three five inch fish in ziploc bags. Caleb begged me to freeze the fish in the freezer so that he could keep them forever. Instead we negotiated- I took a picture of him holding the three fish and he can frame the photo and keep it as his momento. I admit I continue to be cautious each time Caleb returns from his grandparents house....I never know what kind of animal he will try and bring home (see blog entry #1). I guess you can look at his fascination with dead animals one of two ways: either he is going to grow up to be a veterniarian or surgeon or he has some sort of sociopathic inclination to collect dead animals. I really hope we have a future doctor on our hands.

Yesterday morning Caleb and I left for school and work a bit early. Evidently Caleb noticed the time difference because as we were leaving the house I exclaimed, "God thank you for this beautiful day" in which Caleb responded, "Mommy, God can't hear you". Surprised I asked Caleb why not- his response: "God's still asleep because it's really early".
