All things Caelanesque

  Yes, Caelan deserves her own word. She is the most unique little person. Some have called her tiny and quiet, which I have to laugh. She might seem that way, but she is personality plus, full of life and ALWAYS curious to do whatever pops into her head. While Evelynn is calm and calculating, Caelan is the complete opposite, rarely doing anything at a slow speed and thinking anything through. She's a trip. She's fearless. She would make the tazmanian devil look bad. I've never seen a child capable of doing so many things in short periods of time. I can look at her face and see the wheels turning feverishly as she decides what to do next. Can't you tell by the look on that little face?
  Within ten minutes she can completely strip a bed down to the mattress, take all the books off the shelves, take the shelves off the shelving system, take the drawers out of a dresser and then take the clothes out of the drawers. She has also dumped 5 quarts of orange juice in my kitchen floor, tossed out some mushrooms and made random bites up and down the cucumbers. I am simply in awe of her abilities and they have earned her the name "Destructo." There is a reason we have door knob covers on all the doors, locks and a chain on other doors and a lock on the refrigerator. Her name is Caelan.
  She's a non-conformist. If things should be done one way, she thinks she has a better idea. If there are steps up to something, she'd rather climb up with the tips of her fingers and toes. If she can get the tips of her fingers on the edge of anything, she will be able to climb it. She would just rather climb... period. Her rambunctiousness has gotten her into more trouble than anything, and at two, she's getting that little attitude that goes with it. It can be so hard not to laugh when she does things. In her world, the worst punishment she can get is a sitting down time-out. Making her stay still ruins her day. She is a work in progress. I'm thankful to have such a spunky little girl and given the right correction, she will take on the world full force, as a woman of character and of God.
