I haven't written in a while, simply because I don't have a very exciting life and there isn't always something to write about everyday! I figured I better write at least once a week, even if nothing significant happened. So, I thought I'd take a quick moment and just say that it's amazing how such a little person can have their very own personality.
Maybe it's just the toddler years, or maybe it is his true personality, but either way, it's interesting to say the least. First, I'll just say that Caleb has a gentle, sweet personality. I do think he got that from Jeff, but then ocassionally, I see a little bit of me pop out of him. He is stubborn, and wants things the way he wants them. If you move his truck to one spot, he will mostly likely grab it and put it back exactly where it was before. I have to say, I like things in their place, so he may have inherited that trait from me. But to say that he is a clone of Jeff and I is a lie. He's so little right now that it's easy to impress our ways upon him, but I already know that as the years pass, and he gets older, his personality will develop independent of us or anyone else. Caleb is attached to his Daddy's leg when Jeff is home, and he's attached to my leg every other time. This can be annoying, or it can make you feel like the most important person in the room. I just keep trying to remember that he changes so fast, so I better enjoy that little personality for what it is right now.
