And we are officially raising a boy!

Caleb has initiated us into having a little boy. Last Thursday evening Caleb was messing around at the top of our stair case. Before I could even tell him to stop...because he would get hurt...I witnessed him go head over foot all the way down 13 stairs. He was fine thankfully! He said his leg hurt and he hit his head-but nothing that was very concerning. When he hit the bottom our female dog, Savannah, came from another room and was pretty much laying on top of him kissing him before I could even get to him. She is a very sweet dog.

Then on Friday evening we were visiting with some friends at their Christmas party and their son and Caleb were back in one of the bedrooms. Well, have you heard the story about the little monkeys jumping on the bed? Yup that was Caleb and Caleb was the little monkey who fell off and bumped his head. This time we weren't sure if he was okay or not. He grew a huge goose-egg on the front of his head within seconds. Shane and I decided that because it was bedtime (or should I say-past his bedtime) and the severity of the swelling that we better take him in before we put him to bed for the night. By the time we got to the ER (and mind you we did have to stop and get him a Happy Meal from McDonalds...one of the benefits of having CF) the goose egg looked as though it had pooled with blood. He was officially diagnosed with a Hematoma and is fine. What was really funny was all the looks I was getting by the hospital staff because Caleb was in the ER at 11pm with a huge goose-egg on his head and he was enjoying a cheeseburger happy meal with a strawberry shake. I kind of humored myself watching all of these people just glare at Caleb's food and then look at me as if they were saying to themselves "Lady don't you get it? That causes childhood obesity" HEEEHEEE! I still laugh thinking about it. If they only knew. The day I see obesity as an issue with Caleb will be a wonderful day. So long story short...I finally gave in and mentioned to the 2nd doctor that Caleb has CF and he was hungry. The doctor smiled and said "You are doing great Caleb and did you take your enzymes with your Happy Meal?" (Caleb with his head down eating put his little hand and three fingers up) said "Yes. three of 'em".

Oh to be a mother of a little boy. I love it!
