During the cold winter months Shane and I pull the reins a little bit tighter on Caleb as far as his exposure to the public. This was not so bad in the beginning. However, now that Caleb is 2 he gets a little silly when at home looking at the same walls day in and day out. It breaks my heart to know that he must feel like he could crawl the walls. He loves to play with his friends and go places. Today I just could not do it anymore. I was about to go crazy for him. So we went and had a day with Grandma. We got up and had breakfast at Village Inn and went and did some Christmas shopping...even though none of us had to buy anything. Grandpa joined us for the mall. It was nice to have all of us together. And it let Caleb get some of his sillys out of his system.
When we are bored we put our shorts on our head and wear Daddy's shirts while he is at work. I can't remember if it was on Dr. Phil or Oprah (I am a huge fan of both) but a guest on one of their shows said the following quote: "It is not about waiting for the storm to pass, rather it is learning to dance in the rain". I thought that was such a great quote. Caleb does so well with his Cystic Fibrosis and all the meds and treatments we do every day. He has really taught us what dancing in the rain is all about.
