Personality:
Cale is a mixture of Chad and I….poor kid never had a chance at having patience. From Chad he gets his OCD tendencies…everything has a place, messes aren’t acceptable and all drawers need to be closed unless being used. What’s good about this is, if I ask him where a certain toy is or maybe even my watch, he knows exactly where it’s at. He helps grandma find her glasses all of the time. He also has a great memory…if he drives by a place one time and we tell him what it is, he will point it out the next time we go by. Cale can also be very“independent”…meaning, if he wants to do it himself just let him otherwise all hell breaks loose…unfortunately, this comes from me. Another trait that he probably gets more from me than Chad is that he is always right…he will argue about something as simple as what’s in his green glass – milk or juice. He likes to make people laugh because he loves to laugh. He likes trying new things. He loves food…especially snacking. He really likes to dance or at least be moving when a good song comes on the radio. He enjoys watching movies and playing games on the iPad. He secretly likes lotion on his legs and arms. He loves playing tricks on people or even hiding and jumping out to scare someone. He enjoys helping…whether it’s cooking supper, cleaning, reading, folding laundry or getting the door. He really enjoys shopping and going places...it could be anywhere, even to the recycling center. He is obsessed with getting his haircut. He is very compassionate and if someone is upset he genuinely cares and tries to make it “all bedder”. He is simply the best thing that has ever happened and I’m thankful everyday I’m a part of his life.
