Yes, it is late, but don't think I forgot!!5 things about Caleb for his 5th Birthday!
1. Brave. You know, Caleb, from the Bible, was one brave guy. That's who we named you after. And, you fit that name to a tee. At SMACK, our Children's Choir at church, one afternoon I saw you in the back of the church. You and Ethan were horsing around with a 5th grader. Who, is at least 2 feet taller than you. Then, I see you run up and try to hit him and beat on him. Of course, I jump in and get you to come help me. But, it wasn't til about 30 minutes later when one of our church members came up to me and told me what was really going down. You see, this 5th grader was not being the kindest to you and Ethan. So, naturally, what would you do? Try and beat him up. It never even entered your mind that this kid was in 5th grade and you were fixing to turn 5. BRAVE is what I call it.2.Funny. Yes, being the second born I think you tend to be the funny one. It seems that everything you tend to do gets me to laugh, or sometimes want to pull my hair out. But, you always are funny, even when you aren't trying to be. That is a gift that God will use.
3. Detail oriented. Now, don't get me wrong. When it comes to chores there is a lot to be learned here. But, when it comes to school, legos, games etc, you are one of the most detail oriented people I have ever seen. I think you get that from your dad. Not many 5 year olds can pull off a lego set made for 12 year olds and then notice when a piece is out of place.
4. Creative. You love to draw, write, color, and build. Seriously. You much rather use a blank piece of paper as opposed to a coloring book.
5. Energetic. You require the least amount of sleep of anyone in the house. Literally. You are the first to get up and a morning person, a night person, a middle-of-the-day person. It kills me sometimes.
Caleb, God has blessed our family with you. You are an amazing child of God. He is going to use you to do great and mighty things for Him!! I can't wait to see!! I love you! Happy 5th Birthday!!!
