Oh Cal. What do I say about our cute, silly, fun, crazy, spunky, moody, sassy, loving 3 year old?

Well... if you think having 4 boys makes you an expert in raising boys, I am here to tell you IT DOES NOT! This one right here has me stumped a lot of the time. I know all the "right ways" to parents and discipline your kids, but why do they make it so hard!? And reacting with out anger or frustration when your child deliberately pees on the carpet, or hits you and calls you stupid just is not natural. But this one is teaching me a lot of things. And patience is one of them. Sometimes I have it, sometimes I don't (like when he has been up since 5:30am, isn't napping anymore and is having a tantrum while I make dinner). The good thing though, is he is a delight for almost everyone else. He loves playing with cousins (especially baby Jane) and friends (especially his partner in crime Archer).

He can't wait to go to preschool, wants to be with his older brothers all of the time and is FINALLY potty trained! #2 was a long, frustration process, but I think we have finally arrived. 

Calvin is a party animal! He loves to dance and get crazy. Always up for a good time. 

He is pretty athletic and can't wait to play all the sports he see's his brothers playing. Calvin has strong emotions and the cutest voice. I love when he talks to me, telling me a story or asking me questions with his big blue eyes and innocent face. If he gets in trouble and feels really bad he makes the saddest face with a little lip quiver (heart breaking). His cry is loud and distinct. 

Calvin is so much fun to raise so far, even with all of the challenges. He has a creative, thoughtful mind. I just hope we all survive age 3.
