This is a little difficult to share today because it is really hard to narrow it down. Kaleb talks ALL the time.
Kaleb loves his cars but we seem to be moving to blocks at present. We have spent the last 2 nights for at least 30-45 minutes playing with the big chunky lego's.
This is typically how the conversation goes while we are playing blocks.
Kaleb: Play blocks mommie?
Me: Yes, let's go play with blocks.
Kaleb: Sit down NOW!!!!!!
Me: Kaleb, we ask "Please sit down"
Kaleb: Peas sit down NOW!!!!!
Me: Ok, close enough
Kaleb: Build a tower
Me: Ok----we build a tower and actually the tower was taller that him. He talks up a storm the entire time he is building. Talking about colors and different size blocks and it is just non-stop.
FINALLY- The tower is as tall as it can be and
Me: Maybe we should call Daddy to come and see your tower
Kaleb: Da-e (yes, he says it with an "e" not a "dy")
Kaleb: Da-e, come he-are (here is a 2 sylabil word)
Kaleb Da-e
Finally in frustration because Da-e is not getting there fast enough he changes to
Kaleb- BO!!!!
Kaleb- BO!!!!
Cracks us up. If you will not come when I call you Da-e, I'll call you by your name!!!!!
Me: No, call Daddy, not Bo
Kaleb: BO!!!!!
Daddy appears and has the camera to take the pictures of the tower before CRASH!!!!! it falls to the ground!!!!!
He is to funny and sooooooo sweet!!!!!!!! We have pictures, I will try and get them added. I didn't get a chance to get them on here. Be sure to check back.
Thanks for stopping by today.
Thoughtful Thursday is tomorrow,,,,,,,,,,,check in again!!!!!!!

Not My Child Monday!!
"NOT MY CHILD MONDAY"
My youngest child DID NOT place a rather large Matchbox Truck in the toilet and yell "Oh No".
My youngest child DID NOT proceed to flush the toilet once while Mommy was on her way to the bathroom to see what the "Oh No" was about.
My youngest DID NOT flush the toilet again while Mommy went to get something to get said truck out of the toilet.
My youngest DID NOT proceed to ask 1000 times "where did truck go?" when he could no longer see it.
My response to him DID NOT sound like one of his favorite movies named Nemo
"Honey, the truck went out to the ocean"
To say the least, the bathroom is presently "CLOSED" until the toilet has been removed from the floor and hopefully the truck will be found.
The first thing my husband said was "Well, what is that blog about "Not My Child Monday"? I think you have your blog post" No doubt about that. The above mentioned bathroom's toilet is still closed at present.....working on trying to remove the truck without having to remove the toilet.
Toilet did have to be removed. We have now decided to go ahead and replace the flooring before we put it back. Truck was found. Kaleb was most happy!!!!!

Thoughtful Thursday
Good Morning Everyone,
I am loving these Blog Hops and the themed days that we all go in and share the funny things that happen in our families, the pictures, and just sharing what is going on in our lives. In light of that I was thinking about a VERY good friend(yes, you Peggy) who has been with me through a lot and her passion for journaling. I was thinking the other day as I found a blog that had joined mine as a "follower" that she uses her blog to write down her children's activities, the funny things and just to share but at the same time, it is there for her keep and go back and revisit where she has been and where she is present.
That is where I think journaling is so important. Do I journal every single day like I used to? No but I do try and find some time during the day to just to write something, even if it's just a paragraph. Before Kaleb arrived, I could sit and write for hours. Write for days if I had the opportunity. Sometimes I would even be late for work because I was so into whatever I was writing. I have an entire box full of journals that I keep and when I go back and look at them on occasion, it is sooooo clear where the Lord has brought from and you can not help but see that we are on a journey.
Even learning about this "Blog World" I am amazed. To read and share with other families all over the US just amazes me. The heartache of some, the laughter, the passion for their work, the passion for their children and most of all the passion that so many have for the Lord. I'm just simply in awe. As I thought the other day, I started this blog when I became a Birth Doula. Even since the blog started, there has been change. Lots of change. Change in the home, change in work, change in goals, change in passion, change even as to what I want to be when I grow up. One thing is for sure, I am hanging on to the handlebars of this ride with my Lord and going where He shows me to go. I am determined to stay at His side and to follow His lead. There have been so many times, especially lately that I was ready to throw my hands up from feeling completely overwhelmed, ready to walk away from everything that I thought was what He wanted me to do and give up and settle. THAT IS NOT THE ANSWER!!!!! It is at those times when I can shut my door to my office and shed the tears that need to come and ask for His strength because "I" can't do it anymore. "I" can't take another step, make another copy of my brochures, order more business cards, sign up for a massive show. I have to lay down what Pam is trying to do and do it FOR HIM and THROUGH HIM. Those are usually the times when I open that office door and in walks one of our docs at work and says "You need to make a connection with this young lady" Then I know without a doubt, I am where I am suppose to be and I just need to rest in HIM and let Him do the work that He needs to do and I just need to follow after HIM. The exciting part is, then I get Thoughtful Thursdays and I get to share. I have this blog for many reasons but Thursdays is probably one of my favorite because it is 30 full minutes that we can sit, have a cup of coffee and I can share my heart. Thanks for joining me today and maybe today, go and pick up a simple composition notebook and a favorite pen and write. Once you start, I promise, you will have to pull yourself away!!!!!!!!
See you tomorrow for Flashback Friday.....It's going to be GREAT!!!!!!!

"What would your children say Wednesday"
Last week was a conversation with my 2 year old. This week it is a conversation with my 20 year old.
Me- How was your trip this weekend
Him-Good
Me- Did you get some good pictures?
Him-ok I guess
Me- What time did you leave this morning?
Him-8am there, 9 am here
Me- You sound really tired?
Him-Yeah
Me-Were there a lot of cars there to shoot?
Him-Yeah
Sitting down face to face or texting is A LOT BETTER!!!!!! Talking on the phone is NOT his thing....can you tell??????
By the way, he is a photographer. He shoots pictures of cars and engines and such. Loves doing "Drift Events". He is AWESOME!!!!!!! He even shot some of the NC State Athletics events this past school year. He is an AWESOME son!!!! I love him dearly and he even has his own website. Check it out and leave him a message.
