3 Years Ago Today
3 Years ago today a newborn baby boy was handed to my wife. He was less than five minutes old. Our friend Bridget, who had been with us during the labor and birth, commented "You hear that sound? That's the sound of your husband being wrapped around your newborn son's little finger."
I stayed with him as they cleaned him up and checked him out. Later Whuffle and I debated what to name him. We'd already narrowed the list down to four or five boy names and a dozen or so girl names. Since he was a boy we were working from the shorter list. We decided in the end that he looked like a "Caleb."
This morning he helped me give the bunnies some hay. He took off his pajamas, went potty and got himself dressed pretty much by himself. I had to offer some assistance as he'd put his shirt on backwards. :) Later he giggled happily as I played some of his favorite songs for him during the ride to school.
Happy Birthday Caleb. Many happy returns.
