I have to say that being a mother is the most fulfilling thing I have ever done. And it somehow gets more fulfilling and enjoyable as time goes on. I can't get enough of my two kids. Everyday is a new adventure full of surprises- Isaac's new words or cute smiles from Meili.
Recently, Isaac has been learning his possessives. After lunch he runs to the closet and says, "Mommy's boom, mommy's boom," and he hands me the broom. Then he excitedly says, "Isic's boom, Isic's boom," and he grabs a child-size broom. Then he proceeds to sweep the pile of food all over the floor. Even though he doesn't quite get it, it's still sweet to see him so eager to help clean up. He also is insistent when it's "Isic's turn," most often when he sees his daddy playing baseball or hockey on the computer.
Another development is the game a baseball. Isaac's new thing seems to be turning anything that is remotely long into a baseball bat and anything that is close to round (no matter how hard or soft) into a ball. If he hits the 'ball' with the 'bat,' he squeals and says, "Home run!" However, if he misses, he exclaims, "Almost." He also loves his baseball hat and when he wants it on and can't figure it out, he says, "more hat, more hat."
For Halloween we invited a few friends over for some good old-fashioned trick-or-treating. All the kiddies did well, except Isaac who was afraid of the houses with strobe lights and Halloween music. He would cry and say, "mean...mean!"
