it's summer vacation. "i'm a first-grader now!" wow. first-graders are so OLD. i'm going to blink and he'll be graduating from college and leaving me to go marry a very good, smart and god-fearing girl.
in the meantime, he still needs to learn how to consistently write his letters and numbers the correct way. we're on it, though. we have workbooks and the whole summer.
do you want to know how good of a kuya isaiah is? he tells me that he wants to watch tv, but xavier is also awake. he says, "mama, i want to watch something where xavier will learn." so he put in blue's clues for xavier so he could learn his colors and shapes. i caught him teaching xavier how to count this morning using his silly bands.
sidenote: silly bands are the latest craze among kids. they are rubber bands in the shape of whatever - the boys have insects, dinosaurs and musical instruments - and the boys LOVE them. isaiah, ethan and owen all wear them. /end sidenote.
isaiah also holds owen's hand when we're walking down the street and does his very best to follow the rules. we went to chicago last weekend, and had to go in and out of the elevator a thousand times. every time, he held the door to make sure that everyone got in and out alright. he is SUCH a good and considerate boy. he is too big to hold and cradle in my lap, but i do it anyway.
i don't want him to grow up. i want him to stay this sweet an innocent forever.
