Success

"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exltation; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived...this is to have succeeded." _Ralph Waldo Emerson_

Month of the truck

August has been the month of the truck. Although Isaiah has loved trucks for some time, his obsession started when his Mimi bought him a large dump truck to push around. He has since been given a few other trucks. I would say that he spends AT LEAST 85% of his day pushing them around the house and trying different things with them as you will see below. The true boy in him is shining through without any help from me. What a fun month.
This particular day, he was insisting that I take his picture, and he posed a couple different ways and loved showing off how well he parked all his trucks.









Then he went and got daddy so that he could have his picture taken after he piled all the trucks on daddy's lap. Rob and I were laughing hysterically.
On this day, Isaiah thought it would be cool to stack them all up on each other. We were SOOOO impressed that he got them all to stay like that without a lick of help from either of us (we were finishing dinner)
This is his dump truck from Mimi that makes a great sound while he pushes it around the house just like this.
And one more, of Isaiah lining up all the trucks. He decided to sit down with them here. I'm not sure why but he loves to line them all up against a wall, and thinks it's the coolest thing.
