another idea from isaac

so while we were at the beach, walking along and dreaming, isaac said to us "hey, i've got a great idea.  let's turn our house into a garden shop."  immediately i praised his creative idea and said he was very clever.  to this he responded, "yeah, i'm so much smarter than asher." (asher is our dear friends' son who just the other side of his first birthday).  not a very generous or smart thing for isaac to claim...

this morning, as isaac and i were cuddling in bed, i recounted to him how special he is.  i said "you are our only one, the one treasure god has given us.  we love you so much." 

he stuck his thumb in the air, quickly turning it thumbs down and said, "b-o-r-i-n-g."
