Caleb & Me being Caleb & Me

Last night, I had a long talk with Caleb about the importance of discovering his gifts and talents so that he can use them some day to serve others. To provide an example, I demonstrated one of my skills. This video features an excerpt from our conversation.



I just love that kid's laugh. The best thing is how, after our talk, Caleb comes and puts both of his hands on my mouth and blows a slobbery raspberry right in my face. He's a fun kid.

Names and Measurements

Okay, so Gabe said a couple things that made me laugh, and I need to do a post for the week, so here goes.

I really love his logic as it relates to weights and measurements. Today, he stood on the bathroom scale, and said, "Look, Daddy, I'm not 3." And I explained that he was still three, but he weighs 40 pounds. Then I stood on the scale. He asked how much I weighed, and I told him, and he goes, "WHOA, we need to get you to the dentist!" I love his totally random logic.

Later, he asked me, out of the blue, "Daddy, what's my nickname?" I told him sometimes we call him Gabie or Bubba or Champ. He said he liked "Champ." Then he said, what's "Mark Hogan?" I told him that was his middle name, and he said, "That's my name when I'm getting a timeout."
