All Boy

This sweet sweet boy of ours brought us to tears over the weekend. We were sitting at Applebee's for lunch, and he didn't NEED a booster seat to reach the table. Jon and I both teared up. I felt my throat clog up a little. The poor waitress had to some back several times before we were ready to place our order. Anyway, this isn't a sad post...at least not all sad. One more tearful bit before we move on...

I'm one of those people who clearance shops 1 season ahead. It's so much cheaper to clothe my little people that way...and they still get to wear top of the line stuff for a fraction of the cost. Anyways...while shopping for Isaiah's summer clothes for next summer, I had to cross the isle to the little boys section. I nearly burst into uncontrollable sobs right then and there.

No booster seat AND shopping in the boy section?? That's too much to take in all at once!! Really! I didn't cry when he turned 1, but me oh my! This reaction to these 'accomplishments' was not expected.

Okay - on to the cuter, happier stuff.

Jon has been out of town quite a bit and, to be honest, it makes me a bit cranky. One night while getting the kids ready for bed Isaiah asked me "Mama, what's wrong?" I told him that I just missed Daddy and that I get lonely. He proceeded to hand me his Mack truck. If you're familiar with Pixar's Cars movie you know who this is. And if you're familiar with Isaiah you know this is his very favorite toy. He told me I could cuddle with Mack tonight so I wouldn't be sad. So so sweet, this little man is.

Now for the funny.

I heard Isaiah crying his poor little heart out. I asked him what happened and he says, quite dramatically, "Sister happened!!" I about fell over laughing...which did not console his heartbreak one bit.

He is also very insistent that I should be careful. No matter what I'm doing, driving, cooking, laundry...doesn't matter, he tells me "Be very careful, Mama!" I was driving the other day, and had to slam on the breaks because someone cut in front of me. He yelled from the back seat "Careful, Mom! We're back here!!" So precious.

He's growing up quicker than I realize, but I'm thoroughly enjoying every minute.
