February 6

Obviously, I have to explain this one.

While Isaac participated in his dance class this afternoon, Brady and I sat just outside the door observing. Well, I was observing. Brady was asking to wash his hands and crawling through the tunnel under my legs and taking selfies with my phone.

At one point, he noticed the drawstring on the hood of my sweatshirt. After asking why I had shoelaces somewhere other than on my shoes, he grabbed the frayed end protruding from one of the aglets and announced that it was toothpaste. Then he grabbed the other aglet and said it was a toothbrush. And then he told me he needed to brush his teeth.

His creativity hit me right smack in the middle of the heart. I laughed out loud at the unique ingenuity and imagination he showed. And I thanked God for that little bit of Heaven on earth.
