on saturday we went down to the pearl district to walk around. it was a beautiful sunny day. we walked for blocks and blocks. toward the end of our walk i wanted to occupy isaiah a bit. so not really thinking of the ramifications i said, 'step on a crack and you'll break your mother's back.' 'huh?' he said. in a slower cadence, 'step on a crack and you'll break your mother's back.'
isaiah stopped walking, frozen. he looked down at his feet and at all the squares that were crisscrossed before him. he looked up at me frantic and raised his hands and pleaded, 'carry me mommy!'
(i felt terrible! but after some explanation he was down holding my hand chanting the saying and hopping from square to square.)

Zack is very literal - we always have to explain these things. Then, he's the master of jokes.
That is so funny. We read it out loud and even Caleb was laughing! Can't wait to see you soon!

My mom told Kaitlin that Great-grandma Vi was "Dying to see her!" She got the same panicked look.
