Mom says we should have named him Isaac instead of Ian. Isaac means "laughter" and this little fellow can never keep a straight face. But then again, he managed to let me catch this shot of him not even smiling.
After Grace, I prayed again that God would give us another baby, but this time a boy. God answered our prayers and gave us Ian. No, it's not his birthday or anything, but I thought I'd dedicate a blog to him today, because he just amazes me everyday. He is the most thoughtful little boy I know. He tells me at least once a day how much he loves me, and how I'm the "best big sister in the whole wide world", although he makes sure to point out that Grace is also his big sister and she's the best too. He's been promising Mom ever since he was a tiny thing that he would never stop telling her he loved her, and so far he's kept that promise :)
Tonight we were out shopping, and Dad had promised Ian to buy him a new toy, instead of giving him money, for the tooth he lost last week. Ian got a Slinky Dog (from the Toy Story movies) and he was so excited about it. But he amazed me when we got back to the car and he asked me to open it. Instead of getting it out of the box and playing with it himself, he handed it to Grace, who really wanted to see it. He let her take her time with it, not demanding it back, but letting her enjoy it, and enjoying the fact that she was able to play with it. The whole way home they sat next to each other playing with Ian's new treasure, but I never once heard him call it his, or tell her that she couldn't play with it. And that's one of the things that I love about Ian; he's always sweet and kind like that :)
Alright, well that's all for tonight, but I promise I'll get VBS picture up soon...I've been procrastinating all weekend on getting them edited, but I started doing a few tonight, so I should have them up by the end of the week :)
