He makes us laugh when:
- He pats us on the back during a hug
- He reminds us to put everything away, in the proper place
- He toots really loud and does the "stinky" wave
- He eats like a 20 year-old instead of a 20 month-old. Last Saturday he ate 3/4 a box of mac n cheese, 1.5 hot dogs, 3 tangerines and 30 gold fish... for ONE of his 6 meals per day. Oi!
- He mimics a monkey or the dog, or any animal for that matter
- His teacher at daycare says he's a very smart guy, and "really puts things together quickly"
- He communicates concepts like the pills are for the doggy's ouchie, or that grandma and grandpa are coming to visit on an airplane (without our prompting). Sometimes what he understands blows us away
- He wants to color 24/7 (and he seems to know all of his colors... they are all named "blue")
- Weaning: Isaac is officially weaned! I'm proud to say that I breastfed Isaac nearly 20 months. We slowly tapered off, but cutting it off totally wasn't easy (for either of us). But it was time. It's now been almost 2 weeks since the milk factory has been closed and we seem to be adjusting
- Dinner time: After many months of eating successfully in his high chair, he now wants to eat only on Mommy's lap (most likely because of bullet above)
- Discipline: The terrible two's may have officially begun. We're still figuring out the best approach.
Things that have been easy:
- Bedtime: For the most part, he says "night night" and goes right to sleep
- Daycare: He loves it there!
- Social Time: Isaac is a complete joy around other people, and seems to genuinely enjoy being around family and friends. Speaking of which, he won't shut up about grandma and grandpa M visiting tomorrow.
