tidbits of life

life has been crazy of late. even now i have runny noses and poopy diapers waiting for me. but here's a few things of interest in the last few days.

--yesterday after much arguing, isaiah finally finished all of his lunch. it wasn't until last night, when i went to straighten the table cloth for dinner that i found oranges buried in there....i guess he didn't eat it all.

--alaythia says ma-ma, kind of. isaiah didn't say mama until he was 16 months old. it took me going away for a few days to knock some sense into him. but my sweet girl is saying it already.

--matt helping me take some cold medicine late one night. he said, 'don't worry they are chewable. just make sure you have a drink ready for afterward.' i check the label before i partook and sure enough it said, 'do not chew, let disolve in your mouth.' and it also threw in 'do not take a drink for 15 minutes before or after you take.' that is THE LAST time i take advice from matt on how to take drugs! through our laughter he said, 'you're going to blog about this aren't you!' sending me into more hysterical laughter.

--we set up the tent, t.p. and tunnels. alaythia crawled through first off. i remember isaiah being tentative for a while, waiting to go through the tunnels. alaythia had no hesitation. matt says they will be like him and laura. laura always did everything first and he only did things after seeing his little sister have no fear.

--we went in to the kids room before we went to bed last night. we found isaiah upside down...feet under his pillow at the head of the bed. and we found alaythia at the bottom of her crib, feet and one hand hanging off the side. they had a lot of fun together before falling asleep.
