Isaac and Kade are in Swimming lessons

Stories that make me smile

This morning I was running late for work as usual. I was looking in the fridge for my pop and Isaac was trying to open the drawer in the fridge. He was pulling the drawer and saying apple. He would even use the sign for apple too. I did not have time to get an apple ready for him. So I tried to give him a cookie or milk. He then looked at me and rubbed his belly (sign for please) and said "pees, pees." Ok...my heart is melting. So I scream for Devin to get in the kitchen and help this poor child so I can race to work. How could we deny this kid after he asked so nicely!

Devin always takes Isaac to daycare in the mornings. Today he was walking to get into the day care house. Ikie could hear my daycare lady's daughter playing piano. He started to scream and ran into the room where she was playing piano. My daycare lady said "Isaac, come say good bye to your dad." Isaac screamed "no." Devin looked into the piano room and Isaac was in there dancing by himself.

He is starting to give me tons of kisses. I ask him to give me a kiss and he puckers out his lips and say "MmmWah."

He is also able to point to his eyes, ears, head, hair, feet, legs, belly button, and tongue when asked.

He tries to copy the big kids at daycare. The kids were jumping on the trampoline. I put Ikie on the trampoline and he would jump when I would tell him too. He would bounce and laugh and had a huge smile on his face. He noticed that the kids had their shoes off. He sat down and pulled on his shoes saying "off, off." He did not give up until he had the shoes off just like the other kids.

Who Would Have Thought It????

A topic that comes up a lot in this house is Ikie's clothes. GASP! Yes, Isaac's clothing....this topic comes up from Devin and not me. It is driving me crazy! Devin gets so worked up about what this kid is wearing everyday. Devin is usually the man that has nothing to do with shopping, decorating, or picking out clothes. He would much rather be on the golf course or doing pretty much anything else for that matter.

So everyday, I get this lecture that Isaac's outfit.."just doesn't look right" or I get told that he is wearing flood pants. You know, pants that are too short. It is not that I want Isaac to look bad but finding clothes that fit him is a bit of a challenge. He is so skinny and short. He only weighs 23 pounds and can't even fit in 18 month old clothes. I have to roll the waiste down because the pants will fall off him if I don't.

Now Devin doesn't totally get my point in regards to these clothing challenges. He feels that I am too sad with Isaac getting bigger and therefore want to make him small again by keeping him in smaller clothes. That is totally insane....I am prepared and acutally do realize that our child is growing! Gulp!!!! :) Devin says that I lay out all of the clothes that are too small and make him reminisce about each piece of clothing with me before I put the non-fitting items in a tub in the basement. Does that sound at all like me? OK....maybe a little?
