Out of the mouths of babes...
So the other day, Isaac was at his Day Home, where the lady who runs it has a 6 week old infant, and he says "Baby Crying, feed the baby?"
So then he takes a little doll, pulls up his shirt, holds the doll up to his chest and says "I feed the baby."
Clearly, we need to have a talk.
Secondly, Isaac seems to use the terms Mommy and Daddy interchangeably. Specifically, he will say to me "Mommy pick up?"
"I'm your daddy," I will reply.
"Mommy-Daddy pick up?"
He knows what each word means, and to whom it applies, but it's like he just doesn't care, and 'couldn't be arsed' (to borrow Wally's term) to get it right.
So we are, collectively, "Mommy-Daddy". I suppose on some level I should be concerned that its not "Daddy-Mommy", but I guess I know better than that by now.
Also, we spend alot of time entertaining Isaac as he sits on the potty waiting for...well, for potty things to happen. Today we sang "How much is that doggy in the window" for him, with Noelle in charge of singing, and Daddy in charge of increasingly humorous barking noises after each line.
When Isaac likes something you have done, he gives you instant feedback by saying "Again?", and then howling like a banshee if you don't repeat what you have just done.
If he doesn't like it, he says something along the lines of "Mommy-Daddy no do that!"
But the how much is that doggy, he quite liked, so we sang our little duet no less than 6 times. In the end, I didn't care how much the bloody doggy was, I just wanted to get out of the pet store. What can you do?
Finally, Isaac changed today physically. When I went to work, he looked one way, and when I came home his face was longer, there was less baby fat, and he looked older. I swear to God. I know Noelle cut his hair around his ears (it was totally out of control), but it's the actual shape of his face that is different from this morning.
I know they say "oh, they grow up so fast..." but this is ridiculous.
