3 years old!!!

How did 3 years pass by so quickly?  My little boy is 3 years old??? How can that be??  Isaac was born at 6:01am after 16 hours of labor.  He was due Nov 3 and arrived 3 days early.  He was a big baby, 8 lb 14 oz., with big hands and big feet and a big head.  He grew to be quite the chubby baby too.  But now at 3 years old, he is only big in height.  He has lost all that baby fat and become a tall, skinny boy. 

It’s amazing how a child can change your life so much!  It has been such a joy to have him in our life.  Watching him grow and learn new things has been such a blessing. 

He has a doctor appt on Monday, so we will see what he weighs and how tall he is.  Isaac currently enjoys:

- “playing” with his little brother (he can be a bit rough and can’t wait for Seth to be able to play with him)

- cars, trucks, trains, dinosaurs, tools, balls, bugs, animals, puddles, dirt, all the things boys are into

- he knows the first 21 questions to the shorter children’s catechism, loves listening to Bible stories, can almost pray the Lord’s Prayer, and knows lots of songs, and recently we found out that he has memorized most of the books we read him at bedtime (we usually read the same ones every night – he gets to pick from 5 of them).

- he loves to sing and gets really excited if we sing a song in church or he hears a song on a cd or the radio that he knows and starts singing along

-he is VERY social (not sure where this came from because I have never been the talkative one – Isaac will talk to anyone that walks by)

- he loves cake, candy, especially chocolate, but anything sweet

I got quite teary eyed when I checked on him after he went to bed tonight.  I am so thankful for my two boys (even though they may drive me crazy sometimes).  Thank you Lord for blessing me so much!
