January 28

Isaac decided this afternoon --completely on his own-- that he wanted to help clean up the living room. So he did just that. After he'd finished, he asked me to come look at his work, and very proudly drew my attention to the couch.

Once you get beyond the artwork on the wall and the general disarray, you'll notice the pillows. Isaac very happily explained that he'd arranged them in the correct order of the kids' ages, with Abby's on the left, followed by Logan's, his own, and Brady's.

I love that he helped clean up. I love that he was so happy with his effort. And most of all, I love how much he loves ALL of his siblings. It's a blessing.
