First up this week: Isobel
Isobel is still largely just a lump. A really adorable lump, but a lump. She does, however, have opinions about all the really important stuff. For instance, she hates having a dirty diaper. One drop of pee in the diaper is enough to cause her to scream until she's had some reassuring diaper change time.
She also has opinions about pacifiers. Mostly, I'd say she tolerates them. They have their moments where they are good, but they are mostly just annoying. One morning this week, as she was waking up and getting a little fussy, I put the pacifier in her mouth. Usually, if she doesn't want one, it just gets pushed out by her tongue, but I guess she's been learning a few things about physics. I watched her, very purposefully, wind her head up all the way to one side, then quickly flick her head to the other as she released the pacifier. The pacifier went flying and she had a very pleased look on her face. I felt some form of pride that she had figured out how to do that. Ah, parenthood is so silly.
This week's Grace thing can be easily filed under, "Kids say the funniest things."
As is usual, Nana came over on the weekend. Grace wanted Nana to read her "Big Sister" book.
Nana: Your mommy is a big sister, but aunt Lucy is not.
Grace: She's a big ... nothing!
We were all doubled over from that one.
Other things of note: This week we restarted potty training in earnest. We allowed some backsliding when Isobel arrived, but it's really time to be done with this diaper business, so we've put them all away and accidents will just have to be dealt with. I'll be so happy to have just one kid in diapers.
