Almost 4 and still getting into things....





Okay, so i'm at my wits end. Isaac is a little doll face as we all know, but sometimes I feel like I am raising Curious George. He has always been one to create messes, get into things, and destroy all possible signs of organization. But, despite his quality mess making abilities I just can't help but love him all the more. Yesterday I fed Penn, gave him a bath and changed him into clean clothes. I was having my motherly moment of "oh, my little baby is just so squishy and cute." Meanwhile, Isaac was in my bathroom filling up the bathtub, emptying all the shampoo, conditioner, and baby soap into the tub. He then took off his clothes, put them in the tub along with a couple towels from the linen closet. When I found him he said "oh, mom, I am just so so sorry about all of this, but its a great idea, so don't get mad okay- just say it's like towel soup okay?" Well, Isaac while I appreciate your creative genius- these curious George episodes have got to stop. They are sending me over the edge. So here's to Penn who can't walk, talk, or make huge messes...congratulations...you have easily won favorite child of the day!

Bwah-ah-ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! (That's me rolling on the floor laughing!) Sounds like you need to take a visit to Rose's house. We can make cookies or something! How about Thursday? Isaac's messes will give me a reason to be SUPER OCD and clean until the carpet is squeaky!

Days like that are bound to happen. They're frustrating when they're going down, but by far make the best memories for future laughs.

Sooo funny! My favorite is how he explains everything. He's such an amazing negotiator. Genius really. :) Unfortunately genius's aren't the easiest to raise. Good luck mama. And just keep taking pictures! There will be justice some day. bwahahahha *evil laugh*

That is SO FUNNY and SO ISAAC. Towel soup does sound like a great idea. Someday you really will miss the little monkey, but not until he's long gone. he he he.
