Happy Valentine's Day
From the International House of FD&C Red #5.
Isaac had a Valentine's Day party in preschool today. There was the traditional gathering of valentines and candy in hand-decorated sacks. Isaac's is in the middle.
He never told me they had made these until we got home today.
"Did you paint these?"
"Yes."
"With a paintbrush?"
"No."
"A piece of string?"
"No, mommy. I used a marble. I thought I could use one marble, but Miss Susie said to use two, with red AND pink. And to let them roll all over the tray."
Those evil preschool teachers also gave me a shock when the day ended with a class mini-performance. Did they tell us beforehand so we could bring our cameras? NO. They will pay, oh yes. My darling boy sat in formation with the rest of his class and sang "Skinnamarink" with choreographed hand gestures. He SANG, ACTUAL WORDS, WITH EVERYONE. NO FUSSING. And to make it even more adorable, he was watching Miss Susie the whole time for cues on his moves.
I tried to get him to repeat his performance later for posterity, but I'm sorry to say (DADDY) that he and Jake had only one song on their minds.

Sooo... are they both standing up in that video? Is Jakey REALLY as tall as Isaac? I'm just taking notes over here... you know, since I seem to have continued the giant second-born child tradition...
Video = too funny! ;)
Erin -- I think both are on their knees. Jacob's torso is mutatedly long, so it doesn't surprise me that they look the same height-wise. I hadn't caught that the first time through!
Isaac still has a whole head on Jacob, but if they both keep at their own paces Isaac won't be the "big" brother in a couple of years.
that's a great video. they are definitely some cute boys.
