Isaac is 9

December is a great month for this kid. His birthday and Christmas are within 10 days of each other. Since this is an odd numbered birthday, this is not a friend party year. I was still planning on inviting a couple of his friends over for the dinner and movie night since his birthday was on a Friday. Sadly, he came down with a cold with nasty cough. So, no friends but he also didn't have to go to school. 

He ate chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast after sleeping in until 9am. 

He opened some of his presents that evening. The hand-directed drone was a hit! But not literally because it has sensors and so doesn't hit the walls.

 Family birthday celebration was this evening so we got to put candles in a doughnut.

He added the sprinkles after blowing out the candles and he was quite thorough about it.

His birthday gift from our WA family is a yearlong subscription to Crunch Lab - a service that delivers a STEM-related kit to your door once a month. It was difficult to drag him away from the kit to eat dessert, but he got his fill of sugar and then returned to finish the kit. This month is a disc launcher and is thrilled! It should be a great year!
