      Totally cute! I love flying smoothie machines. Caleb had one on his back last week, but I couldn't get a shot of it because he was too busy tweaking about having a "scary" bug on him, and I had to be the good, dutiful mom and swat it off of him ;) Posted 7 years ago

        Yep, he certainly is. I'm working on him though, and am determined to show him how cool bugs are! Posted 7 years ago
