November 25

Since we're doing Thanksgiving at our house for just us this year (for the first time ever!), we asked the kiddos what they wanted to have for dinner. There were plenty of interesting responses for sure, but Isaac wanted Jello. And he wanted to make it himself.

I ran out to buy a pan (which is not pictured; the mold I bought wasn't big enough to hold all of the liquid so we put the overflow into a mini cupcake tray) and then we got to work.

Jello is easy to make, but it was really the first time Isaac had contributed to a larger meal, so it felt like a noteworthy event. And I definitely felt a sense of pride as he carefully poured his product into the mold and the pan.

As I've noted many times of late, he's growing up. (And quickly! According to our unofficial height measurement from tonight, he's shot up about two inches in the past five months.) And that is a blessing that's worth noting over and over again.
