No matter how much I want Isaac to still be a little kid, I have to realize that my little man is growing up and he is doing it so fast! I love to watch him during the days and witness his "Man of the House" moments. These are the moments during the day that is he not fighting with Elizabeth, not whining or throwing tantrums at me but rather have a sense of obligation and duty to help his family.
When I get home from going to Costco and the grocery store, Isaac unbuckles Elizabeth's car seat, walks around the van and pops open the trunk so he can carry in all the groceries to the kitchen for me. He does this with no complaint. Sometimes he even starts putting them away with out asking. Another thing that he does is on Thursdays. He opens the garage door, walks out to the curb where anyone will find our garbage can knocked over and recycling bin next to it, and puts the recycling bin inside the garbage can and pulls both of them back into the garage and puts them where they belong then closes the garage door. Besides those two examples, he also will put anything that can be recycled into the bin, happily clean the bathroom if I ask him, help take care of William and even put a blanket on me if I fall asleep on the couch.
Don't get me wrong, he still argues, whines and harasses Elizabeth, but I can't ignore the wonderful boy that he is growing into. Watching his "man of the house" moments when they occur makes the arguing, whining and harassment not as bad knowing that overall he is becoming not my little boy anymore, but my little man of the house.

That's so awesome! A little help goes a looong way when you have tinie tots at home.
Ah! Such a little gentleman :)
I love hearing of how he is growing and becoming such a little man, helping his momma out. Very sweet!
