Caleb has learned what it means to be embarrassed. A few days ago he was singing to himself from his car seat and Tim and I stopped mid sentence in our conversation to hear Caleb singing a new rendition of the "Itsy Bitsy Spider"."The itchy itchy spider went up the water wout. Out came the wain and the sun was up and wound..."
We stifled a laugh and asked him what he was singing. Immediately he covered his face and said "No listened to me pwease, no listen."
He realized that he was struggling with the words and was creating his own song. It is the first time I have seen him show embarrassment. We tried to encourage him to keep making up his own song, but it was to late...gone is the innocent mindless chatter...they grow up to fast. Next time we will just enjoy the melody of the "itchy itchy spider" for as long as it lasts and not say a word!
