Caleb Quotes

Four is an amazing age.  Caleb astonishes us with what he can now comprehend and he asks questions beyond his years, but still has the innocence of a child.  He also makes us laugh because he's legitimately funny.  Half the time he doesn't know he's being clever, but he truly is, and we find ourselves sharing "Do you know what Caleb said today?" stories at the end of the day.

Here are some of our recent favorites:

After teaching the boys Victory Chant (or Hail Jesus as it's often called, the song with the line "Hail, hail Lion of Judah!  How wonderful You are!"), we overheard Caleb singing to himself, "Hail, Hail Spinosaurus!  How spiny you are!"  Well, they earned the name for a reason...

After reading Psalm 148 with the kids and asking them to name some wild animals that praise God, Caleb shouted, "Lemmings!  Musk oxen!  Skuas!"  Because doesn't everyone think of these little-known creatures when asked about wild animals?  Sheesh, what kid even knows what a skua is???

Out of nowhere: "Mom, when Asa grows up I think he's gonna be Kenyan."  Obviously.

Mama: "Are you doing the potty dance?"
Caleb: "No."
Mama: "Are you sure?"
Caleb: "Yeah, I'm doing a different dance.  It's called You Like It."  And we did like it :)


And just for fun I'll throw in this video from the Snake Park in Nairobi.  I took him there for a special Mama-Caleb date, and he was enthralled.  We walked through three times before he was ready to go, and the last time around was just to say goodbye to all the snakes.  How we love this boy!
