We started our day playing in the puddles. Caleb was splashing and crawling all through the puddles and then started clapping. That is his newest trick...clapping. He claps a lot and is so proud of himself when he does it.
Then we packed up and took the train (for the first time!) down to Grant Park for the fireworks. As you can see he really enjoyed himself on the train. He was just staring out the window and smiling at all the people getting on and off the train.
Here's the three of us at Grant Park. It was rainy this morning, so we came prepared for anything, but it turned out to be a great day.
Caleb worked so hard helping with the tent that he needed to take a little nap. He slept for about 45 minutes and then was up and ready to watch the fireworks!
When the fireworks started he just looked up in the sky, staring at them! He was not sure what to make of it, I guess. It was so adorable. He wasn't scared at all and actually after a few minutes was bored with them and wanted to crawl around!
Our car has been in the shop for over a week now, so we have resorted to public transportation, our bikes and borrowing getting ride from Uncle Dave! Anyway, yesterday I had to take Caleb to get some blood work done, so we took the bus there. (Caleb's first time on the CTA.) I think he enjoyed himself. But the sad thing was that when they pricked him they did not find the vein, so the technician was digging all around trying to get a vein. He finally took it out and then had to prick him in the other arm. Caleb was such a trooper, he cried, but not too bad. My poor little patient, I hope he doesn't end up having as much trouble giving blood as me.
