Tuesday: conversations with Isaac

Isaac: Do you want to go this way [left, toward nothing in particular] or this way [right, toward the Christmas tree]?
Ben: left
Isaac: Which way do I want to go?
Amanda: right
Isaac: What way do you want to go?
Amanda: right, like you
Isaac: No, you want to go with Dad.

Isaac, this time with his hands pointing up and down: Which way do you want to go?
Amanda: Up (as I think, finally, an easy question.  I know I want to go up.)
Isaac: No, you don't have wings.  You can go down.

*************************************
Isaac, coming to find us around 9pm: It's wake up time!  There's no one.
Amanda: no one?  What do you mean?
Isaac: no one.  Time to wake up.
Ben: What are you talking about?
Isaac: There's no one.
Isaac finally pointed at a clock.
Amanda: oh!  No, that's only for nap time.  This is big sleep time.  You need to go back to bed.

It took Isaac about five more minutes to go back to bed as he got stuck several times.  Lately his rest time has started around 1pm or a bit earlier, so I've told him he can get out of bed when there's no 1 on the clock.  He picked it up very quickly.  Very quickly.
