It's hard to believe that it's already been 7 years since I held my brand new second baby boy in my arms, feeling distinctly impressed that you were something special. And, oh, how you have been. It's been a real pleasure watching you grow up. You are becoming a fine young man, and though you are not without your faults, you have the clear potential to be that something special, with many unique gifts to offer the world you live in.
Currently you are a fun loving, albeit quite shy, boy. You love to play outside as well as indoors on your Nintendo. You've recently discovered Pokemon and are a big fan. Even though you are obviously getting older, a part of you still needs to cling to your blue baby blanket and your favorite stuffed animals. You are a bright boy, intuitive and sensitive to those around you. Please use those gifts well. Always try to see the best in others and be kind to those around you.
I expect great things from you, Caleb. Please remember to always live up to the potential your dad and I see in you. And remember, too, that we love you dearly.
Love,
Mom

We celebrated with an excursion to Smale Park in downtown Cincinnati to play and splash in the fountains.
In the evening we had a family party at home. You got a Pokemon and Tetris games for your Nintendo 2DS, a maze book (from Grandma Joyce and Grandpa Gary), a BYU t-shirt (from Grammy Nancy and Grandpa Dave), a Cincinnati Reds t-shirt, some Pokemon cards, and the puzzle game Rush Hour.
