Isaac the Great!

• The book fair is coming to Isaac's school, so we told him we were giving him $5 to spend at the book fair tomorrow. Isaac's response: "You mean like 5 dollar foot long?"

• Isaac was playing on the floor with Oliver, and Oliver sneezed. Isaac looked at me and said, "Mommy! Oliver rained on me!"

• We've been reading Bible stories (from a children's Bible) to Isaac every night at bedtime. Each story has a theme such as patience, obedience, honoring your parents, etc. . . that we also talk about. The story of Jonah's theme was obedience. We talked a lot about how you should obey your parents and obey God. A few nights later we read a story about honoring your parents and how Jesus honored his parents by leaving the temple when they asked him to. We had not discussed Jonah at all this night. . . As I was leaving Isaac's room he said, "Hey Mommy! Jonah did NOT honor his parents!" Oh, and by the way, I now threaten attack via whale/big fish for disobeying.

• Isaac likes to pray at meals. It is ALWAYS the same prayer. . . one that he has come up with: "God is great, God is good. You just know about your friends and food and day and night. Amen." On Thanksgiving, Isaac wanted to pray. His prayer went like this: "God is great, God is good. You just know about your friends and food and day and night. And Santa Claus is coming to town tomorrow. Amen!"
