Shortly after Leah went to sleep for her morning nap today, I sat down and realized that I had a few phone calls to make. There are times when Caleb is great at entertaining himself, but for whatever reason he seems to know that when I'm on the phone, it's a great chance to get into trouble. Needless to say, I had to come up with a plan.
Several months ago I bought a box of fruit loops with the hope of making fruit loop necklaces with Caleb. As with many of my great plans, they were put on the back burner. Partially because I kept forgetting, but also because Tyler managed to eat 2 of the 3 boxes of fruit loops that I have now purchased. I knew today would be a great chance to bust out that box (before Tyler got his hands on it). It turned out to be a great activity for Caleb and kept him very busy. First was the stringing, which required plenty of concentration. His favorite part was eating all of the pieces that were broken and couldn't be used. When he was all done, he was SO proud of his work. He told me that he couldn't wait to show his daddy his necklace. I'm sure daddy would've been happy to know that his son was wearing a necklace all morning long! Unfortunately, the evidence of all his hard work was gone within about an hour. He devoured every bit of the necklace. I let him wear the string for awhile, but eventually told him he had to part ways with it.
