 Caleb turned three yesterday. He waited and waited all day for cake and presents. And I waited and waited all day for him to finally take a nap so I could wrap his presents and frost his cake. Eventually I gave up waiting and tried frosting what looked like a simple cake to make, with three babies and a very hungry Denver underfoot. Then I locked myself in the bedroom to wrap the presents. And almost as soon as the cake was complete and the presents were all wrapped, he fell asleep, kaput, right there on the couch. But Mark made it home early and as soon as Caleb's eyes popped open we called the kids in from the trampoline so Caleb's birthday could finally begin. He really wanted a train for his birthday so Mark managed to find him a new Lego Duplo engine that we didn't already have. Recently Caleb also fell in love with camouflage so we got him some army clothes too. Of course he thought it was underwear and thought it was the silliest present ever. After dinner we lit the candles on the cake, sang "Happy Birthday" and according to Caleb, that was the end of his birthday. Melanie tried singing "Happy Birthday" to him an hour or so later and he said, "Stop it! Stop it! It's over!" And so there you have it. The kid is officially three. Now he just wants to know when he'll be four so he can sit in Denver's booster seat.
In honor of the birthday boy I give you this: The Laughing Witch This little man has more spunk, more personality, more love for life than any other kid I know. I love you enormously, Caleb! Here's wishing you another year of love and spunk and an extra pair of Guardian Angels cause God knows you could use as many as you can get.
