A few days ago Caleb and I went to pick his Mom up and take her to lunch. She works next to a small lake where Caleb likes to go and feed the ducks and geese. As we pulled into the parking lot, Caleb saw the lake and exclaimed, "I feed the ducks!" I told him that we would feed the ducks after lunch. Caleb told me, "The ducks is calling me. They say, Caleb bring me some food. NOW!"

Of course, after lunch we bought some bread to feed the ducks. Caleb reached for the $3 a loaf multigrain bread, and I told him, "no. The ducks don't like that kind of bread. They like this one," as I grabbed the 79 cent store brand. We walked around the lake and fed the ducks the entire loaf of bread. Caleb then wanted to go buy more, but I convinced him that the ducks weren't hungry any more. This little guy will be 3 in just a few days. Time flies, and they're only little for such a short time. We have to remember to savor every moment.
