Isaac has been putting toys in the toilet when he is sitting on it lately. (Which is why I only give him plastic toys that float or very large items now.) They've been accumulating, so I thought that I'd make Isaac wash them. I put them in sudsy water in a bucket in the kitchen and let him enjoy. (I didn't link the washing to the toys that had gone in the toilet. It's enough that I know he's cleaning up after himself.)
He of course got everything wet, so I let him play without clothes for a little bit. But I was happy because I didn't have to worry about accidents! But that is because he is sitting on the toilet and then he puts toys in the toilet...
In other news, he had his second accident free day today. He even woke up dry from his nap, which he did several days this week.

Tuesday: hand washing
Today, after dinner, Isaac did a great job washing his hands.
Too bad it was in pineapple juice. I cringed so many times as I watched it drip down his elbows. But I wanted to finish watching the show we were watching and it was bath night.

Monday: racquetball
Today during one of our games Ben and I managed to hit all the cool number pairings. 2-2, 10-4, and 7-11. We've been close before but never quite managed to get them.
I'm pregnant!
I found out tonight that I'm pregnant again!
I've been feeling a little weird the last two days. I was hoping to wait until tomorrow to take the test, but decided that it didn't really matter.
I told Ben by building a nursery in Minecraft. Kind of cheesy, but more fun than just blurting it out.
It had two cribs. :D It only took him a few seconds to catch on.

22 months - a little late
Once again, I finally got the 22 month pictures and finally looked through them. My selection was worse than normal...we had several grey days, it was a busy time, and Isaac didn't sit still very well. Oh well, there's still a few ok ones.
He has several new words this past month - notably light, up (up-up), monkey, magnet, rock, and eat.
He's gained an affection for the blue monkey. It can help calm him down when he's about to go all crazy. When we leave the house, the monkey gets to sit on the kitchen chair, gets a hug, a kiss, sometimes a pat on the head, and is told good-bye. It's rather cute.
As you probably know, we started potty training this month. It's going pretty well. There are still daily accidents, but I can also tell that Isaac is starting to understand what he's supposed to do. Everything goes best if he is put on the toilet every 60-90 minutes.
He has several favorite toys, but currently the Duplo dog, horse, goat, and gas pump are among the biggest favorites. Random magnets come in second. I've started having him help me make food a little bit more often and he usually enjoys that...although I'm quite sure it is a huge mess waiting to happen.

Friday: unexpected consequence
Last night, around 11:30, Isaac started to get restless. Ben went in to calm him down, but it didn't really stick. At 12:30, after we were asleep, Isaac started talking..."Pee! Pee!" Ben and I consulted each other...do we get up and let him go? Would he go to go back to sleep? Do we just let him go in his diaper? With some hesitation, I got up. Isaac went to the bathroom, although he wasn't happy about anything. (The lights weren't on. There were no toys. It came to tears.) But he settled right back down to sleep afterwards.
I'm not ready for him to understand his bathroom needs at night. Can't it only be an awake thing?

Wednesday: a busy day
We had a busy day today!!
I made some yogurt. I haven't tried it yet so I'm not sure if it is any good. Isaac could eat about three large containers of yogurt a week...which seems kind of crazy to me and there are only three flavors in the large tubs. Most of mine is vanilla for now, but there is one cherry.

Then we got our flu shots. Isaac didn't cry - I was very proud of him. I was not so proud of the mess he made with is lollipop though...I took it away before he was done.
Then we came home and made soup! I put too much rice in, as normal, because it never seems like the recipe calls for enough and I like my soup to be ricey. So I just had to add some liquids as the day went on.

After a nap (it rained all day...perferct nap weather!) we went to exchange the old i-pad at Target. If you have old or unused i-devices you may want to check out the deal...it's pretty nice. After a quick stop at the pet store we headed off to the gym. Ben won all three matches, but I made him work for it.
Lastly, I cleaned the house...or tried to make a dent in the mess...while Isaac and Ben picked up a new i-pad. It seems very nice! The rest of the evening has been nice and relaxing.
