Isaac, Kateland and I went to visit my cousin, his wife and children in Thomasville over the weekend. Isaac and his cousin Marianna found this turtle and Isaac brought him home and named him Swimey. Isaac and Kateland thought he looked like he was swimming when you held him up and he was all stretched out. When he was bringing him home in the car he pee'd on Isaac, after he was initiated it was all love for the turtle.
After several days it started to weigh on Isaac's mind that a box with grass in it was not sufficient for him. He came into my room one night crying and crying because he loved the turtle but felt like it would have a better life living back in it's own habitat. Isaac feels certain things very deeply so he took this very hard and the decision to let him go was a very serious one to him. So tomorrow we are going to take him down to the water and let him go. I learned a lot about my son in a short time. He is a loyal, loving little guy!! I am proud of him!!

What a very responsible decision he made!! We know some adults that are incapable of being that responsible. :) You should be very proud of him!! Go Isaac!!
