Today is Caleb's second birthday. It's difficult to believe the little guy is already two. Mommy went to work today. I took the day off along with tomorrow for his party. Caleb had a stomach virus a couple days ago. Yesterday, Mommy came down with it. Today, it's Daddy's turn. I took Caleb to the park after lunch to see the ducks and turtles in the pond. Then we picked up his Spiderman cupcakes. After we got home I started feeling...well, let's just say that it involves spending an inordinate amount of time in the bathroom.
I'm not certain what we will do about his party tomorrow yet. I sure would hate to make all his little friends sick, and this virus seems to be VERY contagious. Happy Birthday anyway, big boy. Daddy loves you more than the world.
I saw an episode of Monk today that made me cry and think about how much I love this boy. I know, it's just a stupid TV show about a paranoid obsessive-compulsive detective, but it really hit home. Monk was taking care of a 2 year old from an orphanage for a few days, and he had decided to adopt the boy since he realized that he loved the child very much. Monk's psychiatrist told him he was in no condition to take care of a child since he could barely care for himself. That was so sad. The show had a happy ending, though. A nice young couple adopted the boy and took him home. I guess it just brought back a lot of memories of the struggle we went through trying to have children. I don't ordinarily watch much television, preferring to read instead, but this episode was extremely well done. Reminded me to thank the Lord for the blessings He's bestowed.
