Isaac turns 6

 Our Zicko is now a six year old! 

He had a very clear vision about what he wanted for his cake. It was chocolate with vanilla frosting and peaches on top. Annie helped arrange the peach slices into a big number 6, and Isaac took charge of the sprinkle, chocolate and butterscotch chip, and candle placement. You will not be alone if you question his thought process for distributing those 6 candles. 

With his candles lit and the whole family ready to sing, Isaac had to skip a few laps in excitement before Breezy was able to reel him back in. 

Note his leis and birthday necklaces from school. This kid had a great day feeling appreciated, and got to stay for a sleepover at his happy place (Casa Johnson)

The next day was his birthday party at Get Air. I took a grand total of 0 pictures, so readers will need to use their imagination to picture Isaac having a great time with buddies from church and school at the trampoline park with some ice cream sandwiches in the lobby at the end. 

His favorite activity in the world is snuggling up to Breezy and watching videos with her. He is an imaginative kid who spends a lot of time pacing around in his own little world. He does like building toys, and the day that some teen employees at Mindforge built this marble track with him was legendary for him. 

Turning this box into a Felix bus was all his idea!

It's been a year of big changes for him as he started school and got generally more capable at life. He's still very much a head in the clouds type of kid who is very affectionate, and definitely has a trickster gremlin side to him. He has extremely strong opinions about a small amount of things, and is completely ambivalent about everything else- like clothes being backwards or his shoes being ALWAYS on the wrong feet. He hates almost all dinner foods and would prefer to eat charcuterie boards for every meal. He loves non-fiction books and learning about new things. He frequently gets so excited about something that he has to hop a lap around the house with his elbows and knees going every which way. He really likes numbers and loves to play with timers. He has a great sense of direction which allows him to very slowly get wherever he needs to go. This kid goes at his own pace, which frequently leaves him contentedly walking far behind everyone else on the walk home from the school bus. He's a one of a kind kid, and we love him to pieces!
