Isaac.
Isaac is almost 9 and was born in Houston, Texas. His name means, "laughter" and it is perfect for him! We adopted him at 3 days old and took him straight out of the hospital. (I looked over my shoulder wondering if anyone would stop a white woman with a black baby, but no one seemed to notice).
His glass is always 1/2 full and he makes the most of a situation.
He defines himself as a bookworm and it's about the only thing that can keep him still. Think about the news on CNN, the main story on the screen, the little box up in the right corner with another story and then the ticker running across the bottom..... (got that image) that's Isaac's brain! He is always processing at least 3 things and at ANY SECOND there can be a LIVE BREAKING NEWS FEED that is more important than the other 3 things going on. (but don't worry, he will come back to those eventually).
He has taught me the most about myself, (we are really a lot alike) and even share most of the same faults. It's not so cute to hear your child repeat your words spoken in anger back to you. (painful in fact), but we are growing and learning together.
Isaac will try just about anything. He has played football and soccer and takes swimming lessons at the YMCA in the hopes of being good enough for the water polo team. He also like a wide variety of food.
He is my special boy, I always wanted an Isaac.
We just did a lesson on Abraham and his first son Isaac and the meaning of his name being laughter~ What a joyous name~
