Our Gifted Child

Caleb has recently been trying many new things. We're very proud of him for taking the initiative to constantly challenge and improve himself. For example, here is Caleb trying to teach himself to eat and drink with his eyes closed - just in case he ends up losing his vision. He has also been practicing walking around the house and putting letters in his Fridge Phonics toys with his eyes closed. Way to go, son!










He has also been trying to learn to sleep on a regular mattress in preparation for Baby Girl Nuzum's arrival (yes, I know, we really should give that poor child a name). As you can see, the first attempt was only moderately successful. At least he's not completely under the crib.








Lastly, as many of you have witnessed, Caleb is notorious for putting platefuls of food in his mouth at one time (provided said food has a glycemic index of 9 million or greater). Well, just in case this practice causes him to grow a second mouth, he has been practicing this new double-cup method of drinking. I feel like we should gather around him and chant "go, go, go, go, go, go, go......"



Yep, the gene pool is deep in this house.

What a great kid! The eyes closed thing must be to relate on a deeper level to those without sight. How honorable of him!
