May 4

I was surprised when I stepped outside this morning and it was actually cold. It was a shock to my system after a weekend in warm, sunny southern California. But we toughed it out and headed to school (of course!).

It's teacher appreciation week, and I stood back and watched as Isaac and some of his classmates compared the flowers they'd brought along for their teacher.

Ruminating over how much he once struggled with basic speech, it's amazing to see him talking and joking with his peers in such a natural, carefree way. It's a blessing to see him continuing to grow and develop into such a fun-loving, sensitive, and sweet little guy.
