Happy 5th Birthday Isaac, a little/lot late!

Happy birthday Ike! You are 5 years-old and boy are you growing up fast. I think having two older brothers that you really think are spectacular is rushing the process. You just want to do and be all they are. Wow! How a year has changed you! Last year at this time you were crying when you had to go to preschool and never wanted to leave my side. You were clingy! Now, you can’t wait to go to school and always walk out with a skip in your step and a smile on your face. That makes me feel sooooo happy! And although you are not super happy when I have to get a sitter or when I leave for anything, you at least make the best of it while I am gone and celebrate when I return. A mom has got to love that:) You are playing soccer again this season. You are the only boy in the family playing this Spring but you don’t seem to mind. You just go out there and do your thing. You are fun to watch. You are also interested in music right now. While the other boys would rather watch a movie in the car, you quite often will choose to listen to music. Your favorite two songs in the car are from the soundtrack to Cars the movie and one from Jars of Clay:). We listen to them over and over as we drive down the road. I am not sure you ever get tired of those songs. You also pick up other songs really quickly. So quite often I will see you playing on your Kindle and singing to yourself some song you heard on the radio or off of tv. You also like to keep the beat with your finger and dance now and again in the car. You might just be our musician of the bunch! You are also so smart. You are learning so much at school but really, the world is your classroom. You say the funniest and really, some very witty things. You are sharp! You are also very honest. You say what you mean and mean what you say. And although some might take offense to the way you approach them or don’t approach them, it is always genuine and a person has to find that refreshing. We know what and who you like and what and who you don’t. It makes me frustrated sometimes but mostly makes me laugh and shake my head:) Isaac, this is a big year for you. You will start school in the Fall and soon my morning entertainment will go from two to one. But I am very excited for you. You are a special guy, and I cannot wait to see all that God has planned for you! Happy birthday Isaac. I love you to the moon and back, and I am so proud to be your mama!
