With school starting up again we thought we'd post a picture of Caleb carrying his books in his penguin backpack. Actually, the bag is really full of his toys that we do-not-leave-home-without. Penguin comes with us everywhere, in case we need distractions / reinforcements / something that makes a loud noise and will momentarily hold his attention. The bag comes out a lot at restaurants....Anywoo, we try to encourage Caleb to carry his own stuff whenever possible to free mommy and daddy up to hold other things (diaper bag, car seat, stroller, jacket, food, bottles, etc). It may sound a little harsh to make him carry his stuff, but honestly, kid = TON OF CRAP!** Not to worry though, the boy is freakishly strong so he can handle it. We're not sure if it's the homemade baby food or the breast feeding that made him this way; maybe he just takes after his father, but our mini-Hercules (Hurc for short) is one strong little dude. Just yesterday he picked up mom's 2lb weight (one-handed) and walked across the room 'pumping' it up and down. True story!!

** This not only applies to Caleb's 'crap' that we lug around, but Caleb's other crap as well.
