Isaac started kindergarten this year. One day he told me.  “I hate it when kids are whiny all the time. They say, “Stoooop it Iiisaac.” Like this.

So I asked, “What do you do to make them say that?”

And Isaac said, “We’re not talking about that right now.”

We welcomed Alexander Brooks Smelcer-Zhang into our family July 16, 2016. While we were still in the hospital Isaac pulled up his shirt and said, “I can help feed the baby too.”
