Isaiah is everything his little brother is not. He is careful, meticulous, articulate, sensitive, and deliberate. His vocabulary and speech impress us all sometimes. He is curious but in the genuine kind of way, not just asking "Why?" all the time because that's what kids his age do, but because he truly wants to know. He wants to know the difference between toads and frogs. He doesn't want to just memorize the history on our timeline, he wants to know about the events. He begs to do conversation starter cards with the family at dinner to start meaningful discussions. He invents intricate games and makes up songs about the Bible. He really likes chess, and we argue about how to castle!
At their 3 and 5 year check-ups there was one question I was able to easily and confidently answer the same for both boys though, "Do they show concern for others?" "Yes!" They are both sweet sweet little guys (most of the time.)
Isaiah loves Home Depot Kids' Workshops, math, new toys, building things, and his family.
4 has been a fun year. He's been old enough to sit still and appreciate outings. Jon took him to a monster truck rally, I took him to a Paw Patrol production, Angie and I took him to the movies, and we've been to multiple plays. He's tall enough, and now brave enough, to enjoy some big kid rides at amusement parks and even try out skiing. He started a homeschool community this fall, and he looks forward to it every week.
At Legoland, Paulie raced simple cars, we helped him put together, down the track dozens of times, while Isaiah spent half an hour with his Daddy constructing a fancy helicopter with treads (pictured below). He is rarely in a rush, which I could surely learn something from if I wasn't always trying to compensate for his unhurriedness by trying to get us out the door for crying out loud!
You guys, God decided that giving me Jon wasn't enough to refine me. Although I've had Jon demonstrating this laid back pace and calm attitude for 10 years, the Lord still saw fit to give me a mini-Jon in Isaiah. Let us pray that I am learning these lessons that God wanted to show me, about patience and appreciating other's differences, from these two and He doesn't decide to give me a third teacher on Monday in our Baby Girl!

Omg I'm so happy to share this!!! I've been thinking I've lost my mind and it was some mental case. I myself had my tubes tied after my 3rd child. I have a condition that makes having babies so hard on my body. About 6 months ago I too would feel something like "kicks" of course I thought I was out right crazy. I never spoke to anyone about what was going through. How could I? They'd think I was nuts!!! Well my periods have been getting so bad that I reached out to my best friend who also had the operation to see if she had experienced any symptoms with her periods since! Of course we were in the same boat. I broke down and told her I almost felt at times I was pregnant I felt so crazy just typing this out to her. I was beyond nervous she would think it was a nut case. To my surprise she also had similar symptoms. We both are researching what this could be. That's when I came across this website on Google of dr Itua Herbal Center. While scrolling through these comments I stumbled upon how he treated HIV/HHerpes also helped a woman to get pregnant with his herbal medicines. When I read what he had been going through I just broke down and cried for the longest time. Finally I got a help that I ever wanted I and my friend purchase Dr Itua herbal medicines and we both used it which was really effective it cure my cramp issues so I will recommend anyone going through some health issue to contact Dr Itua Herbal Center on E-Mail : drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Or Whats-App +2348149277967 He cure HIV/Aids, Herpes, Cancers, And other stubborn disease make sure someone here talk to someone about this who is going through the same thing as us. Ty for sharing. I now know we're not alone!!!
