Today's Entry: Always be thankful for whatever it is

2006-02-06 - 7:59 p.m.

Even a peanut butter and jelly sandwich deserves a word or two of gratitude. Tonight, with guests over for the evening, Isaiah decided he wanted to be the one to say the prayer over the snacks. This is always an occasion for great humor in the eyes of his older brothers. You see, Isaiah still has a fair problem with getting his diction right. And, though it's getting better every day, there are plenty of surprises that keep the family guessing.
He usually starts out his prayer without difficulty. "Dear Deesus...Tantoo...for the...(and here's where the trouble with the word 'food' starts.) Tantoo...for the...poopf!" It is at this point that his brothers break out in peals of laughter, and the solemnity of the moment is gone. Isaiah doesn't really understand why his verbal distortion is so funny, but he usually has a good-natured laugh with the rest of them.

After dinner tonight, Isaiah marched around the house with his favorite sword oddly sheathed. His gait was noticeably stiff, and that right leg just wouldn't bend as well as the left. At one point, he tried to draw his sword and lead a running charge down the steps, but he not surprisingly ended up flat on his back. I am quite sure his courage in battle will someday become legendary-- his grace and coordination probably will not.
