Tuesday: soup

This afternoon Isaac and I were playing soup.  (I.e., we both had cups and we both had spoons and we were eating soup.  Fun for the first fifteen minutes.)

At one point I took a bite of his soup without asking.  His eyes got very wide, he backed up a few steps and said, "No.  My soup.  Mama's soup (pointing to my cup)."  So today was the first day that I was chastised by a toddler for eating the wrong imaginary soup.

He did share later.

Sunday: movie night

Saturday: the rest of the day

I'm sad to report that the rest of the day didn't get much better, but we all survived. We put Isaac down for his nap and he proceeded to have huge laughs for the next 45 minutes...all he had was a book, a frog, and a monkey, so we're not really sure what was so funny. Ben eventually took the book away from him and that brought a lot of "my book!" and tears...but he did eventually get to sleep.

Jamie and Jim watched him for about an hour before dinner and that was so nice too...the day was just not working for Ben and me.

Saturday morning: birds

This morning I wish I was a bird. They get their offspring out of their body relatively quickly and then anyone can help keep the eggs warm.

Instead of having nasty throw up sessions while hoping your two year doesn't freak out on the toilet.

I'll admit, I thought this morning was going to be fine be it has quickly gone downhill. Baby says hi though.

Friday: curry

Isaac and I finally made another batch of curry today. I got smart and decided to make it in the morning so I could just reheat it for dinner as dinner time comes around and I haven't been feeling great.

Isaac was a good helper. I gave him a (butter) knife (for the first time) and he attempted to cut onion. He wasn't very good, but it kept him occupied. Most of his tasks were of that nature. :D




He also put the cut veggies in small containers so he could dump them in the pot and removed the bullion wrappers.

It's a lot more fun cooking with help!

Thursday: zoo

We went back to the zoo today...it's the day that "zookeeper" Katie is there and she's very nice. Last week the big snake was out and it definitely made an impression on Isaac... He talked about it all last week and for about half the ride to the zoo.

Today the chinchilla out was getting her exercise in a ball, but Isaac really wanted the snake out again. So I told him that he would have to ask if the snake could come out. He did! I was a little surprised since he sometimes gets shy, but I guess he really wanted to see the snake. Unfortunately the big snake was resting happily, but we did get to see the little snake. It was an acceptable substitute.

Here's to more (Isaac) hisses around our house.

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.
