It is hard to believe our first born is now ten, and how much has happened between the time he was born and now. Caleb has been so excited for his upcoming birthday and we had a fun day celebrating him! Caleb has matured a lot this past year and continues to be inquisitive about the world around him. He loves fantasy and spooky movies, video games, reading, especially comic books, playing outside, building with legos, and Pokémon. Caleb is adventurous and willing to try new things. He loves being with this siblings, and he equally enjoys time alone to recharge. Caleb is a loyal friend, does not like conflict, and he compromises easily with others (sometimes too easily). He is a very good big brother and we love watching the way he interacts with his siblings and watching their relationships grow. He and Benjamin have a very strong friendship and they play together all the time. Caleb and Eliza have a sweet relationship and we love seeing how he is attentive to her and how she looks up to him.
Caleb had camp on his birthday, and they surprised him with a cake at the end of the day, then we celebrated when he and Benjamin got home. Caleb’s favorite color is pink, so that was the theme for the day!
He asked for sucuk, a Turkish sausage for dinner. Kadem is an excellent Turkish food cook, and she made him his favorite meal. She also joined us for dinner and cupcakes.
Caleb requested Pokémon cupcakes, that we ordered from our favorite local bakery.
Firework candles for the win!
Afterwards, he opened gifts. The kids were so excited for his birthday, and they each picked out a Pokémon gift for Caleb.
Eliza kept telling Caleb happy birthday throughout the day, it was really sweet.
Caleb loved his gifts from everyone. Afterwards we watched a spooky movie together and ended the night. It was the perfect way to celebrate Caleb, and this weekend he will have a few friends over for a play date and pizza and cake.
Caleb Nathan, we are so proud of the young man you are becoming and we love you very much. Happy 10th birthday!
