thoughts from Isaac

Isaac is a complex little guy with a lot of emotion.
I feel like, sometimes, he doesn't know what to do with it all.
So he has been encouraged to write / journal.
Here is the latest note to us.

as written, (exactly) by Isaac:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jan.6.2011

Dear Parents,

I wish chould have less homework and chorer because it takes time away from my day.  I don't get to do the things I enjoy like playing and reading and resting and wondering.
The chores get in the way after homework.  I've been mean latly because I don't get to play or do any of these things very much.  I get to much homework and it makes me scream and yell and all of that stuff and makes me lose time.  our rules are to strict and drive me crazy.  I've always wanted to play Call of duty: world at war but you say, "NO" becuase "It's an "M" game."  I've been angry latly and I want you to consider this greatly and carfuly with concern.

                                                                                           Love,
                                                                                           Isaac

  1. I truly think he is a 30 year old trapped in an 11 year olds body. Ha! Maybe he will be an attorney...

    This story reminds me all too much of a story I have heard from Brock's childhood. He made a case to his parentals to "parent by democracy" at around Isaac's age. :)

  2. My favorite part is that he needs more time for "wondering" Love this kid!
