Sorry, I don't have a better picture. This is Isaac making a rush for the camera as usual. |

Will the world be so kind?
Awhile ago we noticed that when we said "good job!" Isaac would clap. Now he's doing it even if we don't say anything, whenever he thinks he's accomplished something.
Today Isaac put a fork on a pair of shoes and smiled and clapped for himself like it was the greatest thing in the world. It just made me wonder: are we overdoing it? Have we set him up to be one of those kids who thinks he's the cat's pyjamas because he can adequately pair cutlery and footwear? Will he go off to college and throw a temper tantrum when his professor isn't impressed that he put a spoon in a boot? I guess only time will tell...

Don't worry. OLSWA will still take him.
ReplyDeleteHey this is how geniuses are made! I am sure the the parents of the inventor of say chopsticks or the spork had the same worries. One day when we are all eating with our feet you will be so proud! Miss you all!!
ReplyDeleteIsaac looks so grown-up and different in this picture than I've seen in others! But what a cutie. I agree with Caitlin!
