Here are a few Calvin moments to remember from 2012-2013.
| Trying meat for the first time. |
Screaming every time the vacuum was on. The only thing that soothed him was holding him while I vacuumed.
Entertaining Calvin with juice, chocolate, and the movie Cars while strapping him down for a hair cut.
"Folding laundry."
"Putting the dishes away."
"Taking out the trash."
Hating the snow from the first moment he touched it (refused to wear gloves). It took him 15 minutes to get dressed. And he lasted less than 3 minutes outside.
...Then needing hot chocolate to recover from the cold.

Freaking out about the "people" with no heads.
Shopping overload.
Aching for a nap after church.
Climbing out of bed and getting stuck in the toy dresser when supposed to be sleeping.
Kneeling for family prayer.
Making funny faces during General Conference.
Making a first marker masterpiece. With lots of juice and goldfish breaks.
Climbing on Justin's scooter and saying, "vroom vrooooom!"
Trying to grab the ball from Grandpa Scott.

Gambling at the Las Vegas airport.
...and getting caught by security for being underaged.
Being a goofball at Megan's wedding.
Trying to clean his face while fighting five adults. (Cleaning Calvin's face is always a battle.)
Joining Mom to do laundry at the laundromat.
...it was a few blocks away. We looked ridiculous.
Climbing trees with Daddy.
Messing with Dad's glasses on his shoulders. (Every time!)
Helping Dad cook.
Helping Dad cook with a more hands-off approach.
Comforting Mom after her trip to the ER.
