CALEB RYAN SCOTT!

monday our little man caleb, turned 5! crazy. we had a little family party for him, and he got some great books from ciela, toran and haven. this shirt is his favorite! green with other "boy" colors and a car that looks like bumblebee (transformer).


some other gifts from glenn and i. cabes is in transformer mode right now. in fact he thinks he is a transformer. it's an excellent work-out...


caleb's favorite present: a "pop-up" bumble-bee. you press on the head, and then he transforms back into a car, and speeds away on the floor.


i moved the candles to a "better" location, and then couldn't find them! the cupcakes are covered in ganache, and were quite tasty.


we are excited that caleb is 5. when he showed up, that's when i feel i actually became a mom. ciela and toran had been really so easy to figure out, and i rarely had a moment of worry or panic. ummm...with cabes i was in a constant state of "code red" for his entire first year. and honestly i was relieved that we all made it to his 1st birthday! each year since has gotten a bit less intense, and more enjoyable. caleb is such a sweet boy, and so smart, but he is maybe the most stubborn person i have ever met. he is the best big brother to haven, she adores him! and he lives for moments he has with ciela. toran and him are a bit difficult, but when they do get along (more and more now) they are so adorable. cabes has been a daddy-boy since he was a tiny infant, and still loves any attention and time he has with glenn. caleb is becoming more of a big boy all the time. and he is quite patient with so many of his little buddies, and so understanding of them. i must admit those recent qualities have shocked me some. i am very curious to see this little person continue growing. oh, how we love caleb!
