He's Mine

Look at that face! This boy loves his pizza. Actually, he loves a lot of different foods. He is a pretty good eater. As far as Ds goes, he is in the 90-95 percentile for height and weight. And he has a lot of energy, trust me....ALOT! But that is one of the things that keeps me young. Caleb's energy...Really! When I adopted Caleb, both Jimmy and Ben were already teenagers. By that time, I was used to sleeping in on the weekends, relaxing on my days off, reading or watching TV pretty much whenever I wanted...you get the picture. But no more. Caleb is always on the go! I can't remember the last time I slept past 7:00am on the weekend, or took a nice relaxing bath, and TV...I'm lucky to catch a glimpse of the weather report. The shows I used to watch are forgotten and now replaced with "Diego", "Elmo", "Blues Clues", and various Disney flicks. IF I do get a chance to catch a moment of TV, I have to have the closed caption on because I usually don't get to hear much of it.

BUT, I wouldn't trade my life for the world. I honestly never had it so good! Instead of sleeping in on the weekends, I get to wake up with a kiss from Caleb (or the alarm going off on his door warning me he is up. LOL!) But either way, I love to wake up to my little sleepy head's big smile and half opened eyes. And he is the best snuggler in the world! He gives and asks for hugs several times throughout the day....sounds pretty good huh? But believe me, he can be challenging and there are days when 8:00pm (bedtime) can't come soon enough.

But he's mine and I love him more than I can say! He calls me Mommy, how awesome is that? I didn't even give birth to him, but I get to be his Mommy. See that shirt he has on? When I told him the M is for Michigan, he said "No, M is for Mommy!" God is so Good!
So who cares about, relaxing, sleeping in.....it's all overrated anyway right?!:)
