Now We are Six

The end of March also brings the birthday of our wonderful, amazing Isaac, who turned six this year.

 

Isaac is truly an incredible kid. He is tenacious, competitive, and even smarter than he thinks he is. Chances are good that he'd beat you at a game of the card game Set, and he's a natural rock climber and very good pianist for his age. A few weeks ago he figured out 2^10 just because he wanted to understand how powers work. He has a fascination with nutrition labels and remembers how many grams of sodium or protein are in all kinds of food. And he is, for the most part, a nice kid that people like to be around.

 

His birthday always falls around Easter, with its yearly tradition of me buying Starburst jellybeans because they are so good and I cannot resist them even though every year I think their sticky deliciousness does a little more damage to my poor teeth. Also, they make a very colorful way to decorate a birthday cake.

 

Isaac's birthday fell on our church Easter egg hunt day, so we brought the cake with us and everyone sang happy birthday to Isaac there.

 

We love this guy!
