Isaac's Four!


I know this sounds cliche, but how did this happen. My little baby is turning into a real boy. Here are a few things he's doing:

-He can write his letters (don't ask me how he learned, because I didn't teach him).
-He can read most words that have three letters.
-He can dress (and undress, unfortunately) himself, and he actually changes about three times a day. His favorite thing to wear are his pajamas.
-He still loves to play with Legos and will spend hours at a time building space ships or swapping out various parts to the mini figures.-He plays pretend with Meili. Their favorite is either "Go Diego, Go" or "Star Wars." {Meili will often call Isaac "Diego" or "Luke Skywalker," and Marshall is "Baby Jaguar" or "Chewbacca." Of course, she is "Dora" or "Princess Leia" (well, it sounds more like "pwince-e-weya"). I'm usually "Alicia" or "Mom-Mothma."}
-He will, finally, stay near me at the store, because he is now afraid of becoming lost.

For his fourth birthday, we had a little "Diego" party for him. Isaac and his friends went on a rescue adventure to save a baby iguana who was lost inside a dark cave (i.e., Meili in a dragon costume in the office). In order to get to the 'cave,' they had to pin the legs on an iguana, 'swim' away from a hawk, feed other iguanas berries and leaves (ball toss), and answer trivia questions about iguanas. It was tons of fun! My favorite was seeing Meili crawl out of the 'cave' with a huge grin on her face as all the kids were saying, "Come out baby iguana, we'll save you!"
