It's A Special Day for Mr. Isaiah!

Isaiah came home today with a progress report that I was quite pleased with. Like I mentioned in my previous post, The Resolutions of a 5yo, listening attentively was something Isaiah was having trouble with at school, so it turned into one of his resolutions for the New Year. It was definitely a pleasant surprise to see that his progress report for the second trimester indicated that he was doing a fantastic job of listening attentively and had improved since the first trimester. I was thrilled!

Isaiah asked that, as his reward for his new-found attentiveness, I cook his favorite dish for dinner...sinigang. (This is a traditional filipino soup that we make with tamarind, vegetables, and shrimp.) This made me DOUBLE-pleased because he didn't start rattling off the names of video games and toys he wanted. For him, his mama's cooking is a better treat than any old toy or game! *I'm blushing* If it is at all possible to love this boy any more than I already do...it has happened today! LOL

I also baked a cake to celebrate this special day because nothing makes a day more special than topping it off with a sweet treat! I was running low on gel icing, so I had to use as few words as possible. lol I'm not quite sure if "Go Izzy" fits the circumstances..but, WHATEV! :)
How about that!? He's already got one New Year's resolution checked off on his list. How many of us can say the same? :)
