First Carousel Ride

I made a last minute trek to Houston for a few days while Bryan is working night shift.  There wasn't much going on in Temple so I hit the road last night after dinner with my little man!  We are having a fun time in Houston and went to The Woodlands Mall today with Granny.  We took Caleb on his first carousel ride and also made a quick trip to Pottery Barn Kids to check out their cribs & nursery bedding! :)

Caleb loved watching the carousel go around while he ate his lunch.  He was so excited to 'pay money' and give the carousel operator his token.  On the first ride I put him on a stationary animal - a tiger - so that he wouldn't get too scared.  He really enjoyed it!  On ride #2 Caleb wanted Granny to accompany him.  I thought he'd be ok on one of the animals that went up and down, and boy was I wrong!  He was nervously saying "Up! Down! Up! Down! Mooommmmmmyyy!" as they went round and round.  Eventually Mom had to take him off the zebra and hold him for the rest of the ride!  Luckily he wasn't terrified or crying - just a little uncertain.  It was a fun thing to do today that we wouldn't have the chance to do had we stayed home in Temple!
