Since Caleb has been in Kindergarten, coming home, and telling us all of the interesting facts he learned that day (my memory is of him telling me that Lincoln was the 16th president, when he was 6), I knew he was destine to do impressive things with this knowledge he jams his head full of.
I thought that there would be an acedemic bowl team in high school, but what a nice surprise, when I saw that middle school had a team, I hunted him down ASAP, and encouraged him to go find out how to join. He came home the following day, and when I asked, he had forgotten to ask. This went on for a week. Then, I became the overinvolved parent, and went to one of the coaches, and told her, my boy is PERFECT for this, when and where should he show up. She gave me the information, I came home, told Caleb, and he showed up to practice.
When he came home after that first practice, he was smiling from ear to ear. At last, it was useful to know that Hamilton was a member of the wig party.
He’s done a lot of activities. It’s often been frustrating for him, that he is not as athetic as he wishes. But, this, this he is good at. We need to keep his ego down. That shouldn’t be an issue. But, it was so much fun, to go watch him, be so very comfortable, so totally in his element. I enjoyed leaning over to Jared, and whispering, “Our baby ROCKS.”
*fun side note. He was captain of the team, for the first match. Our baby rocks.
