Mouth Exercises

While Mommy is changing Seth's diaper on the bed, Caleb is on the floor playing with the Mr. Potato Head pirate. Mommy notices Caleb's breathing is a bit awkward, almost labored.

Mommy: Caleb, are you having trouble catching your breath?

Caleb briefly pauses and then gives Mommy a reassuring look.

Caleb: Oh, no, that is just me doing my mouth exercises.

Mommy: Mouth exercises?

Caleb: That is how I keep my mouth muscles big and strong.

Caleb takes a few more over-emphasized awkward breaths.

Caleb: Okay, now I am done. My muscles are strong enough now.

So that explains it!!! I had always wondered how Caleb was able to go through the day talking virtually NON-STOP. He has a little workout regimen that helps keep that motor mouth in shape!

Lol!! The things that come out of his mouth. He never ceases to impress me, that's a great story.
