Hooked on Phonics
Alex can read! So he's not breezing through chapter books or penning novels...yet...but he can breeze through most of his flashcards and sound out the ones he doesn't recognize. And lest ye think I am one of those demanding parents that forces their child to study for five hours a day before letting them eat or play or use the bathroom, let me assure you, that only happens Monday through Friday. He totally gets the weekends off.

household staples
Me: Hmm, what else should we sell in our garage sale?
Alex: How about an x-ray machine?
Me: Um, we don't have an x-ray machine.
Alex: Well, we could go buy one.
Me: You think we should go buy an x-ray machine so we can sell it to someone else?
Alex: Sure! Everyone needs an x-ray machine!

repairs needed
Alex: The mail is taking forever to get here!
Me: That means you need to have more patience.
Alex: I know, but my patients aren't working!!

Stuff dreams are made of
The boys entertained each other for over thirty minutes while I made dinner tonight. And it was just as wonderful as I had imagined it.

Isaac...
...is 10 months, 2 weeks, and 4 days old.
...loves to clean up. If he takes something out of a box, he has just as much fun putting it back in.
...bats his friends in the head with his giant bear paws when he's happy to see them.
...usually gets a bath after dinner. For obvious reasons.
...may be gumming his food 'til he's twelve.
...has an infectious smile.
...wails like a tornado siren when he's ticked off.
...has forgotten that he ever couldn't crawl.
...is often standing up in his crib when I come get him after a nap.
...will say "hi"on command. Or when he sees someone worth greeting.
...will eat cereal or goldfish out of a snack trap. Awesome.
...is in the dreaded, "loves to play in the dishwasher when mommy's trying to load it" phase and the "stands up every three seconds in the bathtub" phase. Not awesome.
...has discovered Alex's train table. Things are about to get interesting.
...has turned diaper changing time into an aerobic activity.
...only stays still when he's sleeping.
...is not as innocent as he appears.
...doesn't like to be left alone.
...has twice as much hair now than he did a month ago.
...feeds Murphy from his tray when he's done eating.
...laughs at most things. Even the not funny ones.
...takes 2 naps, goes to bed at 6, and has been sleeping in. Hallelujah!
