one way to reason with isaiah about going to bed is to tell him that the sun went to sleep, so, therefore, he should, too. because of that, the first thing isaiah says the second he opens his eyes in the morning is, "oh, the sun woke up!"
this morning was the same. i greeted him:
happy birthday, isaiah!
"happy birthday, mama."
you're three today! how many is that?
he holds up four fingers with a huge smile. he isn't able to hold down his pinky with his thumb to do "three." he knows that four fingers is not three. he absolutely does not understand that today is his birthday.
i love him so much!!! i can't believe it's been three years of parenting madness. isaiah can really misbehave sometimes, but really...he is such a good and sweet boy who really loves getting candy everytime he uses the toilet. my favorite is when he asks, "will you hold me, mama?" of course i will hold you! i will hold you until you stop asking. and probably even after that. :)
happy birthday to you, isaiah!!

i had to take isaiah to the doctor yesterday after he spent the previous night with a bad barking cough and a fever. poor baby. "i don't feel so good," he said.
he was so good. i am just so proud of him. he obediently stepped on the scale to be weighed and allowed the nurse to take his temperature. he held still while dr. soliven looked inside is mouth and in his ears and listened to his chest with the stethoscope. he even took the yucky tasting medicine without complaint. this is going to taste yucky, isaiah. just drink it really fast. and he did.
"after this, i get a lollipop?"
i don't know if the doctor is going to give you a lollipop, buddy, but you're getting something for being such a good boy.
he not only got a lollipop from the doctor, but a big sticker as well. "oh! i feel so good now!" of course you do, silly. you're eating a lollipop!
