Caleb's watch

In the comments of my last post, Shube referenced Caleb's watch and my mom wanted more information.  A few years ago, we bought Benjamin a watch when he was learning to tell time.  He wasn't that into it.  He stopped wearing it.  For some reason, Caleb felt differently.  He nabbed it and it has become an ever present accessory since.  Caleb is a person of routine and detail.  He is the first to wake up every morning.  He loves wearing his Twins shirt.  He's a artist and sees the world in a different way.  As our friend PhiltheCarl would say, "He's not anal, just particular."  He comes by this personality trait by very naturally.  Whenever we're with Uncle Joe, the resemblance in mannerisms and personality is uncanny.

The watch has become a part of his routine.  When a long sleeve shirt goes on, the watch is slid off, set aside and then slid back on.  When it's time to get dirty, the watch is slid off, set aside and then slid back on after the dirt.  When it's time to wash up, the watch is slid off, set aside and then slid back on after the wash.  We love Caleb and all the things that make him him.
