I've learned a lot about this little Kindergartener while he's been sick!

He wants three cars when he grows up:

Chrysler A Chrysler minivan ("for his wife to drive") – he likes it because he's seen the commercials that show it has seats that swivel and a table that you can put in the middle and eat from/play cards, etc.

Corvette A red corvette or Mustang…convertible, of course

Jeep A yellow Jeep because "they're cool" and he'll need something in the mountains where he's going to live.

He wants to be a policeman and an Olympic gymnast.  "How are you going to do both?" I ask.

"I'll be a policemen and then when I retire, I'll train for the Olympics."

Love that kid!

Sidenote: He got in trouble last week at school for TWICE getting caught holding hands with Ava, our very cute down the street neighbor (the only other time he's been in trouble was for TALKING to Ava).  I was concerned, until learning that my conservative, very obedient, and highly successful girlfriend, Dana, also held hands with a boy in Kindergarten.  I had nightmares of teenage years!  We have made it clear that the hand-holding needs to stop, especially since it's distracting him from what he should be doing (learning!).  But it didn't help one bit when we drove by her house the other day and she was playing in the sprinklers in her animal-print bikini!  Derek turned to me and whispered "distract him!", but it was too late and we heard "oh look, there's Ava".  We're in trouble… :) 🙂

    I think that K children holding hands is adorable and not something that should be considered a problem or an issue that causes “trouble” — unless they are talking in line and not paying attention to teacher directions. Why not welcome this???? 🙂 (As a Nana, I don’t have to be concerned about the future teenage years . . .I can just appreciate what it is . . . — VERY sweet.) Of course, I will always support Caleb’s parents, but I can’t wait to meet AVA!

    Meredith,
    Full Disclosure here is a must. This story is only complete if you bring to light K’s fabulous nick name of “Kaleb Love Love” Smith. Truly, there’s more here than meets the eye.
    Might I also add Shelley’s re-titling (sp?) of this post (yes, my conservative Shelley), “Fast Cars, Fast Women.”
    Please just confirm that she has no tatoo’s.
