Tuesday: speaking clearly

Let's face it; Isaac doesn't speak all that clearly. Ben and I can often understand him, but it's because we know that E-OO stands for robot and op stands for open.

This week's verse often sounds like this..."create in me a pure heart oh dog and renew a steadfast spirit within me."

At least God can understand him too.

Monday: voices

Today started a new half semester and with it, a new room and new students.  I was teaching away when I hear a familiar voice nearby...Dad is teaching in the neighboring classroom.  Kind of weird, but rather fun too.

Sunday: mine!

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.
