| Calin and Dad matchy matchy for church! |
Just today, he did several things that I had to write down so I would not forget.
During Sunday School he pulled out his "quiet/loud" book and was showing it to our friend Alisha. All of a sudden he shouts "LOUD" in the middle of class and Robby and I just busted up laughing. That was the first time he'd really applied the whole loud concept we had read about in that book so many times.
Also during Sunday School he was walking around going "aachoo! (hahaha-chuckling to himself) Sneezes". He was cracking himself up doing sneezes like a book we have been reading lately. (There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed some Leaves)
My parents came into town today and we were over at my grandma's eating dinner. Calin did something good and Robby patted/rubbed his head and said "good job!" Calin then put his own hand on his head, patted it, and said "job". (That's what he says for good job)
Also at dinner, Calin said "great grandma" ("gate ma ma") and we said "yea!!" He then began to say it over and over and cheered for himself each time and so we cheered too. He has been doing this with names lately because many people around him want him to learn their name and so when he says it they get excited and cheer. He loves to be cheered for and so will keep saying the name over and over.
He has also been complimenting himself when he does something he is proud of he says "nice". Robby says this all the time and now Calin has picked up on it and also says it when he does something he thinks is good.
There are so many things I need to remember to write down that he does. He is so smart and impresses us every day with the things he knows and can do!

Other happenings in November:
-Chilly morning walks with Alisha and Dylan and we have started adding others to our group too. It has been nice to have someone to walk with. Dylan and Calin are becoming cute little buddies too. It has been fun to have some new friends just right around the corner!
-I started subbing on Fridays. It is no fun to have to go to work, but all three Fridays so far have been super easy and it's been nice to have something different to do. I have pretty much just had to show up at all three jobs and get paid to read my book (the teachers just have me put in movies). Makes me feel silly most of the time! Robby and Calin have enjoyed their boy bonding time while I am out.

| Apparently they need more boy bonding time...Calin put these on all by himself and cruised around for a little bit one day. |
-Robby has been SUPER busy with bishopric stuff. It seems like the meetings never end! We are both definitely tired of him having to go to meetings. :(
-We made the trip up to Pine Valley to get our Christmas tree with Robby's family yesterday. It was very cold and there was about 5-6 inches of snow and it was snowing part of the time. Robby was very creative and created some "boots" for Calin to keep his feet dry. Calin loved playing in the snow and had a great time until his early morning wake up time and no nap caught up with him. The last 45 minutes up there were rough. He was cold and cranky but as usual was a trooper and hung in there until we were able to load up the tree and come home. As usual, Robby did all the work. He trekked all over the mountain looking for a tree and then hauled it down and loaded it up. I am not the best sport about going up to look for trees (there are pinyons up there, but they are very few and far between and it takes forever to find one that is sort of decent to bring home). However, we have had lots of good stories and "fun" memories of being up there. Robby loves the smell of the trees so it is worth it for him!

I laugh every time I see the stegosaurus hat. It kills me!
