Dear Isaac

Happy 25 1/2 month birthday, it is amazing how much you have grown and how loud you can scream.

I guess if you only have one child, the rule must be that you get all your karma with that one child. 

It is a good thing you are so cute, or you'd be in real trouble.  I do love how you love to read books, are flat out obsessed with playdough, and are already a foodie who looks at me as if I have lost my mind when I offer you plain pasta and kids food while my salmon and goat cheese salad is staring at you from my plate.

Even though yesterday I nearly duct taped your mouth so you could not whine anymore, I have to admit that the most interesting adults were willful children and it did feel good to get a call today saying that you were missed in gym class "because you are the only child there with any personality."  Jana's words, not mine.
