Joking aside though - he is a beautiful little boy. He just started his CTR A class and really loves it. He has great friends and a great assortment of people to be around! I am thankful for the many influences he has in his life - all of you help him to be the amazing boy that he is becoming!Well, as most of you know, his birthday is New Years Eve...but because everyone usually has their own family traditions we are celebrating it next weekend. So for now, I will tell you what we did on his actual birthday day - despite the fact that it wasnt a birthday "party", he had a great day ALL ABOUT HIM (and as he says his "four year old muscles")!!
First, we woke up and got to spend a few hours and Grandpa Greg and Princess Sindy (just for you Sindy!!) - Kaleb loved it! They brought all sorts of presents for him to open, a really cool dragon kite (which dad took him out to the park today to fly and he LOVED it!), a little gun that shoots little foam saucer things, magic coloring books, a gumball machine, a safari night light, and more! He hit the jackpot!! Not to mention, he absolutely loves playing with them so it was a perfect way to start the day!
Grandpa Greg and Princess Sindy also got Kaleb little light up sticks that could be made into bracelets! Kaleb proudly proudly made us all one - Daddy got the bright pink (slight chuckle), I got the bright orange, and Kaleb got the blue (of course!) He loved them! He made us wear them ALL day, and we did!! Dad even wore his hot pink glowing bracelet into walmart for all to see! :)
Then we went to Walmart and got Kaleb his "big boy" present!?! He got a brand new 8 inch portable DVD player! Mostly for the car because we drive SO much! So we thought it was a good gift for everyone! While dad ran in, me and Kaleb stayed in the car and were fast race car drivers! He was the main driver, but every now and then he would let me drive with my "pretend" steering wheel!
Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Smith's and had CUPCAKES!! And Kaleb did NOT have a limit - it was his choice, so I believe he had about 4 mini cupcakes and 2 regular ones before he stopped! lol...great idea for a 4 year old late at night, aye!?! BUT - the real treat for him, he got to count down his first NYC ball drop at midnight! We let him stay up until midnight and enjoy new years eve with all of us! It was a blast...right at midnight he ran over to me and gave me a big kiss, then over to grandma and gave her a big kiss! A perfect way to start off the new year!!
