Isaac's First Professional Haircut!

Yes, today was the day that I decided I had had enough of Isaac's too long of hair when it was wet....past his shoulders. Today I called Bangs and Bows and got a cut for Isaac....I would have gone to Ashley but well Isaac hardly sat still in the cute car he was in and sucker they gave him ...so i know it would have stressed me and Ashley out way too much! We will see if mom can start cutting it. I wanted it to grow out some before Ashley and Darrell's wedding day so that's why I did it now. What a memorable experience they were great there and I totally recommend it! Train tables, cartoons, high tv's to watch while they are getting their cut.

Thomas visited us..from church not the train..

Thomas came and visited Isaac today along with Lee his mom..who is due a month before Olivia-Ryan and she is also having a girl. They had so much fun today..I wish I could have captured some of it on film but didn't until the end before Thomas left and they hugged each other..I don't have a problem with Isaac hugging his friends..like the compassionate side of Isaac...he will also see his dad hug his good friends also.
I have two passionate men in my home! precious!! especially when they worship at church and sing/worship around the house.

Visit with Campbell,Kay-Kay and Lydia..all in one week

Thursday: we had a blas with Lydia...Isaac and Lydia held hands after they prayed for their food...Lydia kept blowing kisses at Isaac the whole lunch time and ate both played well, ate well etc. it really is pretty easier to have two the same age keeping each other occupied..so now not that I think in the beginning I could handle twins but hey ...by this age...oh wow it would help.

Wednesday: Isaac got to play with Kay-Kay while mommy babysat and watched her...again another great day!!
Monday: we were the guests of Tammy, Campbell and Banx as we went to the Aquarium...the first time Isaac could really interact with the animals and name them.

I know "cheessee" and loves his new stickers!

So today I cleaned the house hard core.. and well as you can see Isaac is kissing "Mr. Vacuum"...well the little one I usually use is not working so we had a long talk about how Mr. Vacuum helps mommy...as he cries and gets scared of it...yes i did vacuum when he was small..with mega vacuum..but now with hard woods I use little one...reg. size just not mega loud: anyhoot..trying to work on being nice to Mr. Vacuum to help mommy out!
CHEESE!!!
umm kiss!


Yesterday I worked on Isaac saying cheesee....to smile for pictures! well he sort of did at first and then really did!
Jennie-- especially and those expecting or have a toddler not potty trained yet! try it!

Then I have to tell you all a great thing to try when your child seems fit! Today I was thinking (for you Jennie) how am I going to feed a baby and then have to help Isaac get things, do things, get things for mom etc..well I won't be able to soo I'm starting to (by the Lord's lead not mine) see things like that. ..for instance today....I said , "Isaac could you get your wipes and a diaper from your room for me to change you..very wet"..he ran back to his room very proud..got the wipes and a sticker..humm where did you get that I thought...Then I heard him trying to open his drawers to climb up and reach the diapers..so I quickly darted to his room and got diaper for him at his level..as we walked down the hall with smiley face sticker and a diaper..I said.. ok Isaac I need you to lay down still for me and if you do as I change your diaper and are a big boy you can wear this sticker!! WEll it worked!!! 3 stickers later..I told him..ok now lay down without me having to get him, hold him down etc..he just layed down ready to be changed!! anyway..at least I know he can do it..if it happens again I will let you know. soo thankful for this..keep it up Isaac and thanks again to the Lord for that wisdom

My folks live in High Point, NC and my grandfather "Pop" is still very alive at 91 years old and is visiting with my folks for 2 weeks from Michigan where he lives in a Home there (also where my mom grew up).
