Saturday: barking

Isaac has a terrible barking cough.  He seems to be doing ok most of the time, but he is more snuggly than normal so we can tell that he doesn't feel great.

He woke up during the middle of his nap in rough shape, but we inclined his mattress tonight so hopefully that helps.

Poor guy.

Friday: firsts

Isaac took his first nap in his training pants and stayed dry!  He's been dry most days this week during his naps so I thought I'd try it.  I wasn't expecting to do this for another six months.

Isaac also got to bowl for the first time. :)  He enjoyed it, but was getting pretty tired near the end.

Wednesday: a cycle

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.
