Caleb

5 1/2 months have gone by
Gosh, where does the time fly?
Less hair
More personality
Dare we mention, a LOUDER cry?

Now, to make the kid sit
Takes quite a bit of wit
Its like trying to fold
The Statue of Liberty
But don't worry, I won't quit

We've begun to let him eat
SOLIDS! (No, not just his feet)
Open wide
It ALL goes inside
No mess to clean--you can't beat

Out of love, to his needs I cater
Sometimes I feel like his personal waiter
Take him!
Please, now!
But I'll desperately miss him 5 minutes later

Am I a good enough mother to him?
Am I selfless enough for him?
Do I smother him too much?
Do I leave him alone too much?
Do I feed him enough?
Do I play with him enough?
Does he get sick of me?
Do I wait too long to go to him?
Do I go to him too quickly?
Do I sing to him enough?
Is it okay that I haven't sang the alphebet song to him at all today?
Is it alright that I didn't feel like talking to him as I was getting ready this morning, so I didn’t?
Do I show him how I love him and tell him I love him enough?
Is okay that I smile at him and say "Hi" waaaaaaay too much because I can't think of anything else to say but I really want to talk to him?
Do I pray for him enough?
Probably, probably not.
Do I do my best for him?


He can light up my world with just a small smile
it can make a bad day worthwhile
my heart overflows
through the highs and the lows
we're a family, him, me and Kyle
