Kaleb Turns 8




Kaleb at 8
-Kaleb's temperament has really toned down this past year. He used to be so volatile. The smallest thing would send him into a rage. He still has those fits every once in a while, but for the most part, he has learned to calm down and talk things out.  He has also become more responsible for getting himself up and ready in the morning and has even started waking himself up extra early to get his homework done before going to school. The self-discipline he has gained this past year has been astounding.
-Soccer is getting more serious for him.  He joined an Academy team earlier in the year, and is now training with a club team.  His new nickname when he plays soccer is Tevez. (Carlos Tevez) He loves Argentina and Italy so his favorite soccer player is an Argentinian player who plays on an Italian Club team.
-Kaleb is really an interesting and fun kid.  Even though he likes to be the silly class clown and make everyone laugh, he can also be very serious and wiser than most people realize. He can be messing around one minute and then you ask him if he was paying attention and he can tell you everything you said to him, or that was taught in a lesson, or any kind of instruction, in full detail.  It is both maddening and impressive. :)
-Keeps our family smiling and laughing
-Still loves Minecraft
-Favorite dessert: Mint-n-Chip Ice Cream
-Favorite dinner: Ham Fried Rice
-Plays the "protective big brother' to Brynnlee very well, is buddies with Bradley, and looks up to Jaden.
