Belated Birthday Post

Caleb turned 3 on March 17th. We went to the park to have cake and play, but it was too windy for the candles to stay lit. He was a little disappointed.
So we went home.
And I'm pretty sure this kid got his wish. No issues in blowing those candles out.
New birthday bike.
He's already mastered the pedalling and the steering.
Presents from Talin & Collin.
I'm always saying how blessed we are to have Caleb, but we really feel that way everyday.
He is exceptionally special and is going to do great things.

Everyday is a trial and he pushes buttons and boundaries all the time.

He's quick as lighting, physically and mentally, which makes him difficult to keep up with.

Who would have thought this was who he was going to be three years ago?

He constantly surprises and impresses us with the hurdles he is overcoming. Nothing will hold this boy back from what he wants to do and accomplish.

So despite the constant stress of lost/broken hearing aides, mixing food on a daily basis, eternally cleaning feeding tubes, and the occasionally vomiting (still!), Caleb is worth every minute of stress, tears, and exhaustion.

I wouldn't trade him.
