Oscar the Grouch

What is up with this grumpy stage? Caleb has lately been a complete grouch after he wakes up from his nap. Yesterday was one of the worst yet. I'm having a hard time knowing if he really understands what we're saying, or if he gets why he's disciplined. The only thing he stops is the whole stomping the feet thing because he KNOWS that's wrong, but the whining and the crying just goes on and on! Then he's just suddenly better. How FRUSTRATING!

Chris's fam came over last night for pizza. The kids got to have fun on the playground, too. It's too cute watching Caleb and Nathan, and Emily loves to have the attention too! Caleb wasn't happy about going in to eat, but when I told him what we were eating, he smiled really big and shouted, "PIZZAS!" He was, of course, a show off the rest of the night. He really didn't want to play in his room with the other kids; I think he and Nathan haven't been getting along very well, and they pretty much ignored each other the whole night. When everyone was leaving, Caleb was so sweet giving everyone hugs, but one wasn't well received. Nathan pushed him! That was their second altercation in the past 2 days! Caleb did finally get his hug, though, when Nathan apologized. I'm sure they're going to butt heads a lot as they grow up!
