Set up

Isaac is not in this picture, but his personality is. Martin and I call this his 'set-up.' On any given day there is at least one in our house. Isaac has fun moving the set-up from room to room and sometimes picks up items along the way. We're not sure what it means, but we know he's into structure and order. We found out from our neighbors that their son used to do the same thing and he's still a focused, detail-oriented kind of guy (he has kids of his own now). It's fun to watch the set-up grow or to see the placement of toys within it; yesterday he had a dinosaur on top of a xylophone and today a turtle is hiding under the grocery cart.

Heart melting moment: This morning I was gone for a few hours. When I came home, Isaac opened the door to greet me, gave me a big hug and said "Miss you."
