Time outs!

Isaac has been getting time out's...usually for hitting. He knows exactly what it is and why a person would get a time out. So he also tells Weezie and daddy to get their "nose in the corner." Funny thing...he will not tell me to get my nose in the corner.

Hello!

Hello blogging world. Are you still following me? Long time no blog. Want to hear everything that is going on in our lives because it is a lot....let me tell you. First of all: We are expecting baby #2 in October. Actually this baby has the same due date as Isaac. Isaac's due date was 10/7/08 and this baby is 10/8/11. So the kids will be exactly 3 years apart. We did go to fertility again, but is was not bad at all. I only had one round of clomid and baby!. So that is why I have had this hiatus from blogging. I have been so sick, tired and nauseated. I really do need to stop walin garoun dthe house saying how sick I am because now Ikie complain of being "so sick." Smells have really othered me this pregnancy. On to other news. I got braces on my teeth! UGH! I really hate those suckers. I could only eat soft food for 24 hours after they put the braces on my teeth. I freaked out and thought I was starving to death. Getting braces was harder for me to recover then child birth. It has come in handy with getting Ikie to brush his teeth. I tell him that if he does not brush good then he will get these on his teeth. Isaac is doing so well. He is talking and is so curious. He will ask me "doing mom?" all the time. He will ask you who is on the phone, what you are eating and just a ton of questions. He is even saying sentences. It is a lot of fun. He is really trying to be like his father. He will wear caps and put them on backwards if that is what his dad is doing. He will put the sunglasses on his cap...if dad does. He loves to play and is not afraid to push the big kids at playland if they get in his way. The other day, he told me that the "monsters were coming to get him and he was going to kick their butts." He tells me that he is "the boss" all the time and he does not "want to be a squirt." He thinks that everything is "gross." He told Devin that "Elmo was drowning and dead" while getting a bath. He can say his full name, and our names. He will tell you that his grammy lives in Beulah and his other grammy lives in Chicago. Well....That is all. Take care

"Potty"

This week I had a potty nightmare. Ikie told me that he had to "go potty." I hate to admit it but I was ignoring him a bit. He usually tells me that so he can sit on the potty and throw tons of toilet paper in the potty, he does not actually need to use the potty. So I wanted to finish cleaning the dishes before we had our "potty routine."
So all of a sudden I hear "help mommy!" I look over and Ikie has his pants down, his diaper about off and poop everywhere! UGH! Worst mommy award for not listening! So I run upstairs and throw Ikie on the toilet. I got poop on me so I am wiping myself off and Ikie with toilet paper. Poop is smeared on the toilet so I got to wipe that off too. Then I plug the toilet! OMG! I am freaking out! Finally..get it cleaned off and put Isaac in the bath tub. I am not prepared for this bath so I don't have his fresh pajama's or diaper out. So after the bath, Isaac and I go in his room. For some unknown reason...Ikie is freaking out...who knows...He has some of me in him! :) So I set him down to get his pajama's out and ready. What does he do next...yes you can about imagine. He pee's everywhere..like a waterfountain!

A few nights prior to my nightmare...Devin had a potty nightmare. Devin was giving Isaac a bath and he decided to poop in the tub. Isaac that is...not Devin :) HA! Devin was so grossed out.

On a postive note...he used the potty properly last night. He had to go potty...told me...and would not let me take him off the potty until he actually went! What a good boy!

"Enough Mom"

Ikie is turning into my little "boss." He is just like his father! HA. I often times ask Ikie the same question over and over because his responses are so darn cute. For example, I will ask him what a monkey says. He sometimes won't respond because he is ignoring me. I don't realize however, that he is ignoring me and think that he doesn't hear me. So, I repeat the question. Well, he quickly gets irritated with me asking the question several times. So, he holds out his hand and tells me "Enough..mom." Cracks me up.
Like many mothers, I want Isaac to eat good. So when I find a food that he is eating a lot of...I give him more. If I am giving him more then HIS desired amount. He will hold out his hand and tell me "enough."
I just think that he has many more years of me "irritating" him. I just can't believe that it started this young. He also thinks that everything should be his way. Whenever it does not go his way, he will hit either my or Devin's knee and say "stop it." Devin says that we have a "law less house." I guess he thinks that Isaac gets away with being naughty.


He is such a joy! We have loved every minute of these past 2 years. He is a great eater. He loves fruits and vegetables. Devin says that I try to push ice cream and candy down his throat. But he often times will ask for "beans or corn." Early this week he ate 2 whole banana's after dinner. He is still a little peanut though! His jeans litterally fall off him. The other day, he got directly in my face and told me "I am little ..Mom." He must have heard that somewhere.

He copies every thing I do and say. So..ya...yikes...I got to start watching myself. He has picked up on some swear words. If I talk on the phone, he puts his hand to his ear and really tries to copy every word I say. He can count to 10. He tells you that every color is either blue or red.

I am going to really try and make these holidays special for Isaac. He loves "santa clause" and will say "ho, ho, ho, santa clause." Then he will tell me that he is scared of santa. Just a few seconds later, he will come back to me and say "Ikie not scared of santa." I have no idea what to get him for Christmas, he really has so much already. But...I will hunt util I find the most perfect gifts. He doesn't seem too excited over our tree but likes the Christmas music. I also plan on doing some baking and may even let him help. I am a brave momma.

He is such a cudler now. He loves to sleep in our bed and wants to be squeezed tighty. I will admit it...I love it. We know its not a great idea that he wants to be in our bed all the time. But...I cherish the cuddling. Oh, and he loves his bottle and "blankie" still. He will not let Weezie even close to his blankie without yelling at her.....and I mean really yellling. He has a set of lungs on him that kid.

Best wishes to all!
