Calum is

- the sort of boy who will turn the house upside down in 5 minutes but wipe away a spot on the floor while saying "Mess!"

- a boy who loves to chase us all around the house with a water spray bottle but is equally as happy turning the water on himself

- a boy who likes to say "hello" and "goodbye" to almost everyone, except for his mom. He and I should never be more than a few feet apart

- a boy who likes to chase those "nasty birds" away from the yard, then asks where they've all gone

- the sort of boy who eats his grapes one at a time - one for Calum, one for mom, one for Calum, one for mom.......because he doesn't mind sharing a good thing (except with his sisters)

- a boy who begins asking for his sister as soon as he leaves daycare and isn't happy till he gets home and finds them there

- a boy who can be convinced to do almost nothing unless he wants to do it (including getting changed out of his Spiderman pjs)

but all things considered, he keeps things interesting. He's back at daycare this morning, let's hope he lasts the day. I've got a lot of work to catch up on so I'm off to open the dreaded email inbox.
