October 12

I peripherally noticed that Isaac spent a lot of time hovering over the kitchen counter after school today.

When I finally sauntered over to see what was up, I found him carefully slicing apples into small chunks. As each piece was completed to his liking, he tossed it into the blender.

He was, in short, making a smoothie, because he was in search of something fresh and healthy to eat. He went on to add a small scoop of ice cream and peanut butter. (A lot of peanut butter. A lot-lot, as it turned out.)

After he blended his creation and took a drink, he confirmed that he'd used a LOT of peanut butter and maybe not enough apple. But he was very amused and drank the entire thing (while talking about how much peanut butter he had consumed).

I'm grateful for so many things about this guy, but this evening, for three of them in particular: his sense of humor, his creativity, and his desire to be healthy.
