jQuery UI datepicker doesn't work properly

I have a problem. I want to create a calendar, that displays the date clicked on in an input box below, but I can't seem to get that working.

HTML

<div id="step3">
    <p> Choose a start date </p>
    <div id="calendar"></div>
</div>
</br>
<input type="text" name="something" value="thevalue" />

Javascript

$("#calendar").datepicker({
    inline: true,
    firstDay: 1,
    showOtherMonths: true,
    dayNamesMin: ['Sun', 'Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat']
});
$(function(){
    $('#calendar').datepicker({
        onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
            $("input").val(dateText);
        }
    });
});

Anyone have any tips whats wrong with my code. Here is my jsbin aswell http://jsbin.com/najunexipe/edit?html,js,output

this works :

$("#calendar").datepicker({
    inline: true,
    firstDay: 1,
    showOtherMonths: true,
    dayNamesMin: ['Sun', 'Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat'],
    onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
      $("input").val(dateText);
    }
});

It seems like you cant initialize the plugin twice.
