Analysis of Kaleb is 8



Aye Mate! No longer he waits...
I'm here to update: Kaleb is 8 to date!
There is no debate that he is great; just let me elaborate:
He likes to create and play with classmates.
Sometimes he negotiates.
I give it to you straight,
Kaleb is great!
He loves stepping up to home-plate and
then be sure to watch as he accelerates!
However, I'm sure some can relate sometimes we run late; it is just a trait
but not to worry, it won't affect the fickle finger of fate,
Kaleb is great, and to this date, he is 8.
We must celebrate:
We will eat some cake and stay up late
I must restate: Kaleb the Great is 8!
Happy Birthday, Kaleb! -Love, Mom!
