Calm Down

"Calm Down" is Isaac's favorite phrase as of late.  He uses it in perfect context, and leaves Dave and I in stitches with his excessive use of those words.  Ever since he was little, I always make a surprised face (an O shaped mouth and big eyes) when something is exciting or cool (which is probably a LOT of the time.)  Lately, when I do the "surprised face," Isaac calmly says "mom, don't make a surprised face.  Just calm down mom, calm down."  Stinker.
Also, you know it's time to clean your house when...
I was sitting on a stool in the bathroom a couple weeks ago while Isaac was taking his bath.  We are constantly working on the whole keeping the water IN the tub thing.  He splashed some water out of the tub and I pointed to it while saying "Isaac, look, what happened to that water?"  I was HOPING that he would say "it's on the floor," to which I would respond, "yes, now we have to wipe it up.  You need to keep the water in the tub."
No, that's not what happened at all.  He peered over the tub and wide eyed, 0 shaped mouth (yes, the surprised look,) said "Mom!  That water turned into dog hair!!!!"
Jeeeeeeez.  haha.  I am not the world's best housekeeper EVER, but when I am pregnant, watch out!  You may get swallowed up by an entire colony of dog hair dust bunnies.
Lessons in static electricity

Aunt Julie rescued a new dog - a Golden Retriever Puppy named Gretchen.  Isaac's in love with her. I

At Julie and Tim's house reading with one of his fave friends, Quinn, after visiting the puppies.

So cute, I love when kids take on phrases and make 'em their own :-) (Ellie uses the word 'Apparently' before just about every sentence . . . she uses it well, and in context, but it cracks me up every time she does it.)

He is a crack up. I just can hear him saying it!

Around here, everything that touches the floor turns into dog hair, I just can't keep up with an excessive shedder and a toddler!
