Isaac

So Isaac has had a pretty hard time leaving me... even when I leave him at home with Nathaniel he freaks out. Much of this I rationalize is because I had a car accident last June and then Sylus dying. Ethan got over it, but it's been lingering with Isaac a little too long. Yesterday he had the hardest time going to his Primary class. He cries and says he's scared. Most of what he says is an excuse to get what he wants. Well, I bribbed him to go to class by taking away his puppy for the day and he was okay with it... so off to class with dad he went. When we got home, Nathaniel and I talked. Nathaniel mentioned that he doesn't want to punish Isaac for not wanting to go to class. So we talked with Isaac and said that he'll have to stay hom next time taped to the bed so we would now that he's not doing anything destructive. We practiced last night with him by duct taping him to the bunk bed. He had to stay there during prayer and scripture reading. It still hasn't cured him of going to class by himself... so we are still working on being a little more independant.

Isaac is an active, rowdy boy. He has a mind of his own and an itinerary all his own too. He loves to have burping contests with his papa and Uncle Adam. He is very considerate and helpful. He is always thinking of others. Even checking out at the grocery store he wants to buy his papa a candy. He is even concerned about not being prepared when we see Sylus again.

He loves to jump off of anything and everything. NO FEAR!! He also loves his babies and puppy. He wants to be a dad when he grows up and work on computers and go through mail (he watches Nathaniel working in our home office). He adds a whole different personality to our family and we couldn't imagine life without him.
