Time is flying

It's hard to believe that Caleb is now 4! What the heck happened here? Not only is he 4 BUT he's full of attitude and thinks he's a 30 year old bachelor!




He's also OBSESSED beyond words with being a firefighter - all we hear is "Mommy when I get big I'm going to..." Keep in mind the ... could be "be a firefighter," "have a fire dog and fight fires," and anything else - use your imagination because boy does he!

In a better situation though, I came to realize while sitting in his speech session yesterday that it's been a year and a half since he's started speech with Miss Christie at the Children's Institute in Norwin. I went from this 2 and a half year old who pointed and grunted to this amazing, non-stop talking, precocious, advantage taking 4 year old who believes he can take on the world and win. My question remains - WHEN did this happen? It's like time stopped and all of a sudden he's almost on target. He's still tough to understand speech wise if you're not around him a lot or if he talks too quickly but the point being I had fears he would always grunt and point. Okay, if you know the kid, you know he's smart - maybe even too smart for his own good - so this was probably a VERY unrealistic fear, but a fear none-the-less.
