Two Today!

Happy Birthday Little Guy!

Today you are two. You run, you hop, you say so much. You love to climb and laugh. You always have a smile (even when you are in trouble), and you give the best hugs and kisses (when you want to). You have wonderful manners (most of the time), and go so far as to tell your toys "I sowwy" when you drop them on the floor.

You love to count and find the capital letters in your books (which we read over, and over, and over again). You love to color and are learning to write your name (you know all of the letters in the right order, you just don't have the motor coordination yet to do it yourself). You love to squoosh play dough, especially with the star and kitty cat cookie cutters; then tell us you are all done and want another color to play with.

You've just learned that running around in the backyard and getting "rained on" by the sprinkler is a good time, and you love to run next door into Mr. Jimmy and Mrs. Pat's yard (and driveway), and point out all of the flowers and clouds as you stall on going back to your yard.

You love identifying big trucks, trains, big cars, and now, motorcycles. You are getting to be a lot of fun in the car as you see letters, numbers, and colors everywhere, and want to share them with Mommy and Daddy. You still don't like driving through the middle of nowhere with nothing to look at, but that's okay, because Mommy doesn't either.

You love pizza, hot doggies, cheese sticks, purple applesauce, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, wraps, and pea-buttah (peanut butter sandwiches).

You think that watching TV is a lot of fun, but Noggin and Sesame Street have spoiled you; you think that Mommy and Daddy shouldn't have to fast-forward to find the next part of a show.

Mommy and Daddy love to hear you say your "Thank You God's;" we never know what you are going to thank Jesus for on any given night. Your thanks ranges from people, places, foods, things, to transportation. Mommy and Daddy pray that you never lose your thankful spirit.

You got a train table for your birthday (with lots of trains and track pieces). You have come and thanked Mommy and Daddy for them three times in the first twenty minutes you were awake this morning. You have such a sweet heart, spirit, and voice.

Mommy and Daddy love you lots little monster. We prayed for you to be here, happy, and healthy for a very long time. You are all three of those things. We continue to pray that you will grow up to love Jesus, more than anybody or anything else; that you will make good choices and be a good influence on everyone around you. We pray for your friends, that they will grow up to love Jesus, and to be a good influence on you, making good choices. We pray for the little girl that you will marry someday. We pray that she will grow up to love God, to love you, and to make good choices along the way. We pray for her parents, that they will love her in such a way to make everything we're praying for easier.

We love you Isaac Zachariah. We named you that on purpose. God has remembered us with you, and you continuously bring us laughter as you laugh with us and grow.

Happy Birthday Little Man! You are a precious gift, and we can't wait to see what plans God has in store for you!
