Growing up

Four years ago CL was in the NICU at a large hospital, and the rest of the Fox clan was staying at the Ronald McDonald House. CL came into this world about 6 weeks early and weighed in less than an average baking hen. It's amazing how much he has grown and the personality that has developed in 4 short years. Here is a quick story about my buddy that made me laugh. CL got a king size choc/peanut butter candy bar in his Christmas stocking this year. Santa knew this 1200 calorie abomination would pacify his sweet tooth for at least a few weeks. This was the mother of all candy bars not even a bigun could polish this thing off in one sitting. All candy is placed on an upper shelf to prevent easy access at our house. CL has a major sweet tooth and went looking for some candy a few nights ago. Mom and Dad were both busy and told CL to grab a piece of candy after dinner. What we found later was a glazed eyed toddler with an empty wrapper and a chocolate moustace. CL had snagged the monster candy bar and opened it himself. There was only about 1/32 left of it when we found him. The best part of the whole story is he was so keyed up he didnt get to sleep till about 2AM.
