"Happy Doo-Doo, IZ" - Isaac Kissinger, age 2, singing Happy Birthday to himself
Hold your horses - literally - because Isaac just turned 2!
This boy is obsessed with horses! There are a few horses just up the street from us that we like to visit, and he likes to watch the ones on YouTube. "Horses. Phone. Ok!" is a common phrase we'll hear from him. (Yes, we try to limit YouTube and videos on our phone ;) Rain was predicted all day for his actual birthday, so Ellie had the great idea of taking him to the petting zoo at Hochries about 30 minutes away the day before his birthday. We headed there right after Mass in the morning and beat the rain! He, and his siblings, loved riding the ponies! Isaac's first time!
On his birthday the next day, which was also Mother's Day this year, we went back to Haubis (about 30 minutes away) - where we had spent Francis' birthday. Haubis is short for Haubiversum, one of Austria's incredible bread factories. This visit we had to be inside due to the rain but that turned out great as well! They have a lovely kids' indoor play place, and mom and dad were able to enjoy our meal and coffee as the kids played!
Isaac opened some of his toy horses the day before his birthday, and literally has not stopped holding two of them at nearly all times! He will set them down briefly when he's performing Mass - he loves to dress in our dress-up clothes priest vestments, find his kids' Bible, and sing, "Oh God, holy Father" as he processes around our coffee table (aka, his altar) and in and out of the living room with the Bible raised above his head. He currently has bright orange hair (think that's a forever thing) that has never been cut, a chipped front tooth (luckily that's a baby tooth), and is definitely left-handed (guess that's also a forever thing). He loves asking Ellie to come and play horses with him (she simply adores him and can't resist)! And he loves tackling Francis - if he's anywhere close to the ground, Isaac is instantly on him. Not quite sure what he'll make of being a big brother in less than 3 months, but he sure loves being the baby of the family for now!
