Watch out! I've posted two days in a row, it's a record! :) Today was a good day with Isaac and I just had to post about some funny things he said and did today. It started snowing early this morning already and I decided to go to the gym this morning as I knew it would be a day or so before we could get out again. As we were backing out of the drive way Isaac said "Mommy, I don't like snow. I kick a the snow, mommy." I was completely frustrated with his 'I kick a" statements a couple weeks ago but I have decided to write it down and chalk it up to being 2 1/2. When Isaac gets frustrated or doesn't like something I have figured out his way of expressing those emotions is to say "I kick a"... you fill in the blank. While I tell him that's not how we speak, I'm trying to remember he's two and has a limited vocabulary and he needs to learn how to express these emotions correctly and some day he will outgrow wanting to kick whatever is bothering him. At thanksgiving when papa was carving the turkey we were all oohing and awing over the turkey and Isaac said "I kick a the chicken." If I know he needs to go potty and I take him and he doesn't want to break from playing he says "no potty, I kick a the potty." Just so you know he won't actually kick these things, he just says he wants to.
Today, Isaac also broke a house rule, and it's a rule he knows not to disobey. Since I have told him over and over not to do this, I decided natural consequences were going to rule his decision to disobey me. I was right there watching him, and just as I knew would happen he ended up falling as a result of doing something he knows I have told him not to do because he could get hurt. Well he fell, he bumped his head on a toy and got his first ever (surprisingly first!) 'goose egg' on his head. We hugged, he cried and we had a talk and after our talk I noticed this goose egg and told him he got a goose egg on his head because he didn't listen to me. Tonight as I was putting him to bed, the other side of his head got bumped on the door and we had more tears, this time was an accident. So we sat down in his chair to read a story and he says "kisses mommy" with tears rolling from his eyes and pointing to his head. So I kissed him on his head, and then he pointed to the side where he had the goose egg and he says "I got a goose on my head." That got a few good laughs out of both of us.
Here's a video of Kylah to leave you with. I took this a couple weeks ago just haven't had the chance to post it. She is a very vocal baby and we all love to hear her voice, it is music to our ears!
