Our NORMAL two-year old.

This past Tuesday, Isaiah had his two-year old check-up.  After being in the 90% for height his first 18 mos. of life, he is now only in the 56%.  Thus my title of "normal".  We knew there could be no way that he would stay in the 90 %, I mean, look at who his parents are. Needless to say, Isaiah is pretty much a normal two year old in many ways.

He loves to play with his trucks, blocks, and he loves to colour.  He loves to play with his trainset and loves to build with his legos.  The thing he loves most is BUBBLES!!!!  This kid could blow bubbles for hours.  And he's pretty good at doing so himself.

As most two year olds, Isaiah is beginning to assert his wants in a manner that is not always desired.   Thankfully the tantrums do not define him.  If anything, I would say he is quite the mannerly two year old.  I LOVE how he says "Thank you, mama" when he receives something from me.  It has a little sing--song to it.  He does pretty well with saying please and has learned to say, "Please don't" to his sisters when they invade his personal space.  However, his "please don't"s are sometimes paired with a push.  Isaiah can also be described as a charmer.  He will flash his smile and bat his big, brown eyes to get your attention and is good at giving out compliments.  Just this past Sunday as we were getting ready for church he said to me, "Pretty dress, mama".  He melts my heart.

We are so thankful for this young man.  We are thankful for his normalness (ha!) yet look forward to the special things God has in store for him.
