75 months:
Isaac did an excellent job in school this year. We got back some of his testing results and he did very well. As mentioned before, his math skills exploded. His reading has gotten really good too...in the chapter books we read he can sometimes get a full sentence or two (as long as I pick out ones that don't have words that are too long.) He moved to a Scholastic Reading level of G, which easily sets him up for 1st grade. He also seemed to interact well with the other kids...I heard names of assorted people that he played with at recess. He also said hi to his classmates in the hall and his classmates said hi to him.
Attitude: still so silly. I've had to ask him to tone it down a bit lately because it has been too much for me. They also had behavior charts in school and his never moved off green. (Which is a bit too bad; one or two yellows would have probably been good for him.) Anyway, he wants to use it at home too...he will get some yellows from me. Not very often, but there has been more push back on some items when he wants his way.
76 months:
Loving: Isaac is incredibly loving and often makes things that says, "Isaac loves Mom" or "Isaac loves Dad." He told his teacher many times. He gets Joshua in often...he runs through the family list.
Future: he currently wants to be an E.R doctor, but I've also heard police man or fire fighter as close seconds.
On being a puppy: while he still is a puppy, it rarely shows up anymore. While a bit sad, it's probably appropriate.
77 months:
Surprises: Issac loves surprises and never wants to know what we're doing until we get there. This is usually helpful because I can change plans at the drop of a hat. It isn't so helpful if I tell him something that he doesn't understand the reason for (like not having dessert because we're having surprise ice cream.) And while not a surprise, he loves new experiences and new things.
Athletics: while Isaac isn't the most athletic person ever, he has been working on several skills. Ice skating is getting better and he decided it would be the sport he continued through the summer. Biking without training wheels is getting really close...he got a half-rotation at the store today. The next two weeks are swimming lessons. (And I hope that it isn't too many new things to learn all at once.)
Laughter: Isaac still laughs so easily. He's starting to understand more jokes, but slap stick humor brings out the laughs too. He and Joshua will laugh a ton together, and it is wonderful to hear.
