Bright and early this morning Isaiah and I had to hit the road heading to downtown Phoenix for a doctor’s appointment for him.  He goes fairly often as they are working hard to treat his Arthrogryposis.  When he heard we had an appointment his response was pretty sweet:  “Yes!  Yes! Yes!”

His enthusiasm interpreted:  “Alone time with mom, not to mention that mom almost always takes me for something special when we go – so yes, yes, yes{!} this is gonna’ be good.”  

My personal theory is that someday when he looks back on his childhood and all the things that he had to endure in dealing with the Arthrogryposis, he will smile and remember there were a few special perks along the way brought to him by a Mommy who loves him oh-so-much!

As we turned off the freeway heading to the hospital, Isaiah spotted a car, “Whoooooa, look at that car mom!  On our way back you should take a picture, put it on your blog and show your bloggy friends.  Isn’t it cool looking, Mom?  They would want to see it too.”

{How sweet is that – he was thinking of you guys.}

So at his suggestion, on the way back toward the freeway, we pulled over on the side of the road and took a picture for Isaiah to show you.  It did, indeed, have a pretty fancy-schmancy paint job.

And as long as we’re at it, how could we pass up on showing you the LaMar’s donut he picked out?

It was e-n-o-r-m-o-u-s!  

{He was only able to eat a bit and brought the rest home to
 share with the other kids after lunch, who were more than
happy to help him out with such a burden.  Ha!}

There is nothing so precious as time with our treasures, no matter the circumstance – they are only little for a short time…make time to enjoy yours today too….
