This baby of mine is SIX today. SIX. When did that happen? Why does it feel that his years go faster than the others? His little life is flying right before my eyes. I enjoy him so… He does have an ornery streak lately, but mostly he is just so sweet. He is full of one-liners. Has a contagious laugh. He HATES the heat. I just know that he will live in a cold climate someday…the mountains somewhere. He was like that even when he was a toddler. I would put him in a hot, parked car to go somewhere and before I could start the A/C he was screaming and rubbing his head. It’s the same now…he hates to go play in this Texas heat. (Who can blame him?). He is always making cards for me (and all of us) with butterflies and sweet love notes…I love all of those little notes. He is crafty. And smart. He is witty. He’s a good friend and loves people. He wants so badly to be right, and to be ahead sometimes with his big brother. He wants so badly to be in charge of Samuel and tell him what to do and take care of him. He is stuck right-smack-dab in the middle. And I always hope and pray that we are doing enough for him…giving him everything he needs. There is something about that face…that adorable, loveable Caleb face…it makes me smile. I just love him so…and have loved him since that first moment I saw him on July 22, 2002.
Happy Birthday, Caleb.
