Good Friday.
It always seems like a weird day to me. Either you do your normal things or you have the day off and you do relaxing things. There are no family get togethers, no expectations of assorted activities. Sometimes we go to church (we did today), but not always.
But yet it is one of the most important days of my faith. Jesus died for me. For me! It was, as always, a day of remembrance, no matter what I end up doing.

Thursday: no watch me
Isaac has been saying "No touch me!" quite a bit lately. This usually means that he doesn't want our help as he's trying to do something, like get off the bed. Sometimes he'll say it while sitting on a lap, which usually makes us laugh.
Yesterday he came up with a new one. "No watch me!" He wanted Ben to watch me get him more food, as that is one of his favorite things lately. When Ben refused, Isaac gave him a hilariously annoyed look.

Thursday: oh baby
This baby is a mover! I feel like he's moving all the time...and while it might be very normal, I didn't feel Isaac this much. (Isaac had an anterior placenta, which just means that I didn't feel him move as much. I was kind of hoping for the same time.) Last night the baby kept kicking Ben too. I felt a little bad for him, but...not too much. :)
It is fun to watch my shirt ripple though.

Tuesday: keys
Last night Isaac was playing with one of my old purses. He's played with it a lot; I thought it was empty (except for the two cat toys in it). Anyway, he's shaking it trying to get something out and a key falls out!
Now, normally this would be really cool. However, last night it was super cool as he has been very into keys and locking and unlocking stuff the last few days. So finding a key was super cool! He spent a good part of today "locking" and "unlocking" doors; several times I had to wait to enter a room so that Isaac could unlock it for me first. He also learned how easy it can be to lose your keys as he spent quite a bit of time looking for a lost key. (I'm not sure where it is right now either...nor do I have an approximate idea of where it might be. We might be in trouble.)
I also keep meaning to post a monthly update for Isaac but just don't feel well enough or am too busy around the end of the month. Briefly, he also really likes zip up sweatshirts, watching me work in the kitchen, doing exercises with Dad, his stuffed animals: Frog, E-E, and Mama's E-E. (Yes, it's name seems to be Mama's E-E. When I'm around, I get to hug that monkey.) He likes to share with Ben and me. Potty training is a little rough lately, possibly due to the diarrhea last week. He's been waking up earlier lately, which is mostly just annoying...it's not so early that I can tell him to go back to sleep, but earlier than I want to get up. He often wants to know right away where Ben is. He likes going out, but is immediately curious when we're going to be going back home. He finally has 1,2,3 down pat (along with 7,8,9,10), but 4,5, and 6 are still a bit troublesome. It doesn't bother him though since you only need 1,2,3 to start a race. And he's still a very happy kid (unless I'm making him put on his own pants. He doesn't like that at all!)

Monday: baby
I had a baby appointment today. The heartbeat was 145 and I'm measuring at 25.5 weeks. A little large but not a big deal. (I'll admit, I just hope it means that the baby will come early. It probably means that I've carried a child before.)
Saturday night: dream
I had a dream that Isaac sued Ben and me for emotional ..uh, I forgot the word...problems due to taking away his pacifier. A field agent swept in at day care and the workers couldn't protest because she was too high up. She asked the kids if they wanted to sue and helped them write their name down.
Needless to say, I was rather upset. And annoyed, as I would then have to go through the process of getting Isaac's name removed from the thing. What kind of justice system would let a two year old sue his parents??

Friday: today
Although I missed a lot of sleep last night (Isaac woke up early with diarrhea again) I felt as though I was doing ok and being productive. Then Isaac wanted to watch TV ("Watch Why?"...thanks Dusty...) and I usually try and interact with him while watching it. But I feel asleep half way through it and through all of George.
After nap we took a walk and played outside a bit because the weather was lovely! It also kept Isaac from messing up his room...while I feel that I was productive today the only way that you can currently tell is by looking at Isaac's clean room.
And now I'm exhausted again and seriously considering going to sleep. But since it will take so much effort to get ready for bed I'll probably put it off.
