So the ER nurse is bribing Caleb, who's refusing to drink his medicine. She brings out a huge, round, orange pop-it. Caleb's eyes go wide and he says, "Too bad it's not rainbow." 🤦‍♀ Luckily, this amazing nurse was prepared for this because she grabbed him a rainbow heart, and he gulped that medicine down. COVID test was negative, so likely just a regular old upper respiratory virus. Keeping tabs on his oxygen levels at home. #noobmother #6yearsold (at Mercy Gilbert Medical Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSmp6XapzKb/?utm_medium=tumblr

Y'all, Caleb hates going to school. Complains it's too long. It's only the second week. 😅 #noobmother #6yearsold #8yearsold (at Gilbert, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSfIelihBfI/?utm_medium=tumblr

First day of school! Upped my anti-anxiety meds. #noobmother #6yearsold #8yearsold #firstdayofschool #1stgrade #3rdgrade (at Sonoma Ranch, Gilbert, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSKckSqJA3J/?utm_medium=tumblr

Told Caleb to "go out and get some sun." Not quite what I had in mind but I guess it does the job? #5yearsold #noobmother (at Gilbert, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP8gJv0Hdlk/?utm_medium=tumblr

Surprised Caleb by coming home early from work with balloons and a cake (which he said he liked, but didn't like, then liked, and now doesn't like again 🙄). Thank you, friends and family, for the gifts and well wishes! Happy 6th birthday, Caleb! We love you! #noobmother #6yearsold #happybirthday #birthdaycake @nothingbundtcakes (at Gilbert, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPZili5ndDW/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Happy Valentine's Day, Mom! Let's take a selfie. Make a silly face! Now happy face. Now sad face. Okay, that's enough emojis." -Caleb #5yearsold Happy Mother's Day! (at Gilbert, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/COqGDbcnGNs/?igshid=9l86va73d8e5

Caleb colored this (he can read that too)! He showed it to me and said, "Like you, Mommy!" Jules claims credit for planting it in his head though. #plantitanix #noobmother #5yearsold (at Gilbert, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/COOAIdGHj-W/?igshid=1fky7onwxopj5

Hands down, the best part of my #staycation is being able to "make pakasarap" / get morning snuggles with these two. Every morning. #noobmother #8yearsold #5yearsold (at Gilbert, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJd9Vg-H8Y6/?igshid=16tnjew0mangs
