Almost 2

well here we are......about a month away from Isaac's second birthday! Yikes....has this time gone quick. He is a little toddler now for sure. Let me tell you a little about him

Personality: he is generally very happy. He will walk in the mall with me and wave and say "hello" to anyone he walks by. He loves kids and will get excited with any kid that he gets to play with. He will tell me "no,momma work....Kade Lake." He says "KadeLake" literally like it is one word. He is also very very wild. When Keanon was little...we called him "Taz" which is short for Tazmanian Devil(think Showtunes). I think Isaac takes after Keanon when Keanon was small. Isaac is literally on fire. He loves to run, yell and gets so excited. One night, he was dancing with Kade and it looked like Isaac was foaming from his mouth. He also enjoys testing his mother. I will tell him not to do something and he will always do it anyway to see what will happen. I will tell him not to drop his food and he will look at me and smile as the food looks like it is just sliding from him...so he is not actually dropping it. I will take him upstair to his room for a time out and he will laugh the entire way to his room. Then I set him on the bed and close the door. I wait outside the room and he will hit the door with his toys...I am sure it is to let me know that he is mad. He also has "no fear." He is not afraid to climb on anything or go really fast on his tractor. But the funny thing is he has fear of odd things. There was a plane flying above our house one night. Isaac at first go excited and then ran to his dad's lap because he was scared.

Physical: on several occasions he has been told that he is petite. Not so great for A BOY! He is really tiny but he eats a ton. He has no body fat on him...gets that from mom and dad! HA :) He loves balls, bats, and wrestling with kids. He likes to run but is literally on fire when he runs so he trips over his own feet and falls. He is great at making sound effects with his trucks.

Cognitive: He is saying a lot of words and putting 2-3 words together. He is getting better with allowing us to read to him. He is actually sitting for 3 books at a time . That is a great accoplisment for a little boy that is always on the go! He hates it when I am stuck behind red lights when I drive. He yells at me and says "mommy go now." He will tell me "watch elmo" or "go to Becky's house." He knows a lot of animals but gets confused sometimes because he does things so quickly. For example...I pointed at a Zebra in a book and he told me it was a "horse." I tried to explain to him that it was a Zebra but he was so excited that he called it a horse that he got directly in my face and would talk over me saying "neigh, neigh...horse."

Well there you have it....Ikie in a nut shell. It has been an awesome 2 years. I never take the time that we have with him for granted so I will end with my usual sense of absolute gratitude that I have been blessed with this little man!
