Ike and the List

Things I love about Isaac:

• He loves to help. Isaac has a few chores around here and putting shoes in the basket is his number one way to earn his keep. It is so fun to watch him so happily waddle around with Matt's shoes that are half his size.

• He adores his brother and loves to play with him. The funniest thing he does though is tell off Sam. Isaac feels things very strongly and Sam is assertive so they frequently have run ins as they play. If things don't go like Ike wants he will tell off his brother with all of his soul in Gibberish. It's so hard not to laugh.
• He will listen to books! Hooray! This is a new development and one that makes me so happy. Isaac will sit in my lap and let me read to him. Sometimes.
• Ike LOVES his cousin Addy. He talks about her all day long. Well, he might be saying "Daddy" or "Doggie" some of the time, it's kind of hard to tell sometimes, but Addy is definitely a popular topic. The two of them are best friends and do the cutest Happy Dances when they get to see each other.
• Speaking of Happy Dances, Isaac does one every day for his Daddy when he gets home. This kid loves his dad. He's the first thing he asks about in the morning when he wakes up and I swear the reason he wakes up every morning in the early 6 o'clock hour is for the sole purpose of getting to see Daddy before he leaves for work. Lovely.
