He's Four Today!!

Caleb turned four today!! He got to celebrate at school with his friends. On their birthday they get to wear the "birthday hat", the other kids sing to them, they get to pick a treasure out of the chest and get to share a birthday snack. They really encourage something healthy for the snack so I made celery with cheese and raisins. Caleb tells me that everyone loved it.

After school it was Caleb's choice for his birthday supper to go to McDonald's with playland as you can see from the pictures. Daddy suggested something like Chili's, but the birthday boy stuck with his choice. He got his present from us (Lincoln Logs) and from my parents (a new bridge and engine, Leap Frog dominoes) when we got home. He took the bridge to bed with him. His teacher talks all to time how good Caleb is at building things which I credit to his train tracks. She says he might be her little architecht. Thus he now has the Lincoln Logs to work with. He says he either wants to be a train engineer (are we surprised by that one?) or wants to build machines when he grows up.

His teacher called me tonight to talk. She says that he is a very honest little boy and loves his friends. She talked to me for over 30 minutes. When you listen to her she can tell how much she loves all of the little ones in her classes and that each one is special to her in their own little way. I noticed this from my first couple of interactions with her. I feel very blessed to have Caleb in her class.

The birthday party and cake are on Saturday so there will be more to follow.
