Back when Caleb used to live across the street from his grandparents, he used to hang out at the large window at the front of the house watching for his grandparents.

He did this from the time he could stand up.

He'd be there at 6:30am in the morning, watching to see when Grandma was going to work.

He was there mid-morning to see if Grandpa was going out for a walk.

He was there around 3:30pm to see if Grandma was coming home from work and coming over to play. Every time my mom caught a glimpse of that face in the window, she couldn't resist coming over for a quick playdate.

So the other day when I told Caleb that Grandma was coming over to play, he promptly went to go get a small step stool, parked himself in front of the window, and despite my telling him that it might be a while before Grandma arrived, he insisted on watching for her arrival.

Some days I look back at those old baby pictures and can hardly believe it's the same Caleb. But most of the time, we just laugh and realize that he hasn't changed a bit.
