Isaac has definitely figured out what my and mine means, although he sometimes uses them in funny ways...
Amanda: Do you need help brushing your teeth?
Isaac: MY teeth!!
Amanda: Yup, I agree. They're your teeth. But do you need help brushing them?

Saturday: sick
I'm afraid to announce that our household is rather sick. Everyone has a cold. I am pregnant. Ben's back is sore. Isaac is being two, which is rather fun but has led to a surprising number of tears. Sometimes I wonder if he's getting enough sleep...or if it's just a two year old thing.
Anyway, we know it's just temporary and will pass, but it is rather annoying in the meantime.

Friday: B verse
Amanda: Be
Isaac: Be
A: Kind
I: Kind
A: To
I: To
A: One
I: Three
Ben: hahaha
A: Another
I: Another
It's been a little surprising...he's been able to remember better than I expected and sometimes will say the words with me instead of just after me.

Wednesday: blarg
Today I was feeling stretched. Very stretched. As in, "it hurts to walk." I had this one morning a few weeks ago, but it left after an hour. Today it stayed around. I actually called the doctor. (Side note: I feel like a first time mom I've called the doctor so much this pregnancy.). She said it was normal, but might take a few days to go away. I could take tylenol and walk around with my hand supporting my belly. (Walking like that makes me feel obviously pregnant.)
But it just tops off a week were I haven't been feeling very good anyway. I thought I was supposed to be better by now.

Tuesday: sister
Isaac is convinced that he is going to have a sister. (Although Ben and I aren't convinced that he really knows what that word means.)
Yesterday he drew (and erased) a picture of his sister on his easel. This morning he told me that he wanted to pull his sister's hair. As we were looking through a book of baby animals he thought they were sisters.
The work sister has been coming out unprompted more and more. Good thing we're going to find out the gender soon so that if it's a brother we can help him get used to the idea.

Monday: afternoon
This afternoon was rather rough of Isaac, and I'm not really sure why. The tears came so quickly over the smallest things. But it gives me more chances to hug him. :D
The funniest was when he through a red 2x2 Duplo toward me. Duplo throwing is prohibited, so I took it away. He got so upset.the only thing I could think of was that he had about 20 more unused red 2x2 duplos still sitting in the box and he should go get one of those. Of course, I didn't say anything because that would ruin the teaching moment he was so kind to give me.
Speaking of teaching, I've found that some things are really, really hard to teach children...or at least Isaac. What items are ok to throw? When you're putting a puzzle together, what clues do you look for? When is it ok to hit people (like in football)? There are so many things to teach that I don't have good explanations for.

Sunday: 17 weeks
Not a great picture, but the bump seems to be growing rather quickly. My normal shirts are starting to have a hard time covering it, which is super annoying.
