#43- Isaac is 2!

What a fun month!

April is a month of birthday celebrations in our family, both myself and my older twin sisters have birthdays to start it off, then my brother-in-law, a sister-in-law, my nephew Ezra, and my own dear Isaac to end the grand finale! (Starts with my birthday; finishes with his:) we got this) 
Isaac was singing the happy birthday song to himself by the end of the month start to finish, and by the time it got to his birthday he was so used to singing it to others that he just couldn't grasp the idea that it was HIS turn...That is until he woke up on his birthday to balloons everywhere! He let out a long, loud gasp and even though he just glimpsed them, demanded to go back and play, he knew something was up! 
For breakfast we gave him waffles and at least 5 different kinds of bowls of fruit to choose from. He was simply in heaven.
He got lots of trains and tracks which he has been googling over, hasn't had time to play with them all. Thanks to his relatives on Eric's side for joining us on his b-day and sharing the love! We finished the day off with a campfire and BBQ with our neighbours and friends.
At the end of the (tiring!) day as Isaac was having his 'potty-time' I asked him how his day was and he hum-drummingly went through the usual and then his voice got higher and he tilted his head and looked at me from the corner of his eye and said "....and candles, cake, presents, blow it?!"
I think he got the point that today was indeed his special day!

Isaac; you are one incredible little man to say the least! The vibrance and joy and personality you've brought to our lives has certainly made them better. We are overwhelmed with how amazing you are, your character is something else, sometimes you baffle daddy and I in the ideas and things you come up with and what you understand! And you're getting so big and tall, you're losing what little baby fat you had already it seems! I hope that little tummy sticks out ahead of you for some time yet:)
You are full of enthusiasm for everything, curiousity is always on your mind even when you're shy. You can definitely be very certain of your opinion! But you already have such a beautiful spirit and are very compassionate to others. You are so great with your little sister and I know she will always look up to you. Mommy and Daddy are SO so proud of you Isaac and love you more than you will ever even know!
I'm so excited for this year to spend time with you and learn to communicate with you even better!
Keep growing little guy, but always come back for a hug!
