Love and Isaac

Isaac doesn't lack for people loving him--no surprise with his eyes, hair and silly ways. When we were at the park the other day and he was playing "train" in the playground equipment when three little girls came on his train. He decided to go to a different "train." But they followed him. Soon he realized that where ever he was going, they would go too. So he started running and giggling and they started chasing him and giggling even more. All around the playground. This went on for awhile. I sat down on a bench and watched the sun glint off his golden hair flying in the wind and enjoyed his glee. His little legs finally wore out and out of breath, he plopped down beside me, "I need a break!"

On the way home our conversation was about friends and love. I would say something like, "Do you love Dylan?" He would answer yes or no. Now according to Isaac who is NOT at all a reliable source of information since he is quite a tease, these are the three people whom he loves. I must have listed over thirty, but he stuck with these three. (Don't be offended anyone).

Sarah ("big" Sarah--every time we see her or he gets to play at her house, he tells me over and over again how much he loves Sarah and he has taken lately to giving her some good hugs and smooches too! He quite enjoyed his "date" at the circus.)

Daniel Wyatt--his cousin ("I like it when he drives the tractor")

Emma Roosa (My friend)

Before bed he did add Mom and Dad to his list. And now you may ask, so whom did he craft this lovely Valentine??? I know his secret and it's also the reason why he insists on pink oatmeal and a pink spoon every morning out of sheer admiration...let's just say that there is someone else on his list because he made his Valentine for her. Starts with the letter "M." Maybe he likes to keep it a secret because it's also a known fact that this particular sweetie has quite a following as well--for very good reason!


So young and already so wily. He is ever my boy who will give you a great big kiss while trying to poke your eye with a very mean finger.
