Today Caleb turned 7! He is such a big boy now. On Saturday he had some friends and his cousins over to help him celebrate. They played in the back yard, did pin the tail on the donkey and had a pinata full of treats. They were a great group of kids and it was so amazing that as we finished singing Happy Birthday, Caleb's school friends proceeded right into singing "God's Blessings".Today Caleb was looking forward to getting called up on stage at assembly for his birthday and also took cookies to share with his classmates. He received the crown at school and also insisted on wearing his new 3D glasses for his picture. His favorite gift was getting to go pick out a Nintendo DS in cobalt blue that he used money he had been saving his money for, for about 9 months along with birthday money he received from Nana & Papa Jack and mom & dad chipping in the rest. Then on Sunday I made him a case for it.
Caleb is really growing into a smart little boy. To hear how well he reads is something else. A few weeks ago he announced to me that he wasn't reading anymore story books and was only going to be reading "chapter" books from then on. He is currently reading his first "Hardy Boys" book. He loves math, is doing well on his spelling and memorizing a weekly bible verse for his teacher. He is eager and excited for all the new challenges of a 1st grader. He also loves entertaining Oliver and being the biggest brother in the house.
Happy Birthday Caleb!!
