Turning into a big boy!!

One of the things that I have been most amazed at as a parent is just how quickly your children grow up. I knew this mentally, but did not realize just how true it was until I had my own child. I still feel like it was just yesterday that we were in Texas getting him, and yet here we are, almost 2 years later, doing it all over again.

Isaac seems to have taken off in the last few months. The amount of words that he says grows everyday, and he just acts more and more like a two year old. Two weeks ago we did the first of the "big boy" transitions. We moved him from his crib to a twin size bed. I had spent the last two months painting his room in a "transportation theme". (the banner behind the airplane now has wooden letters in it that spell ISAAC) We figured we might as well move him now before a baby came along, so there would be less upheavel in his life. He is a great sleeper. so I figured we would maybe only have a week of hard times. It ended up being a piece of cake. I think we only had one night where I had to put him back 3 or 4 times. He is content to sleep wherever. We have a railing on it so he cant fall out. He now gets up by himself and paddles through to our bed in the morning. I am so thankful for this easy transition. But it makes me kind of melencholy to see him asleep in his big bed. He looks so small in it.

We also got the potty chair out, just so he could try it out and get used to it. He is not anywhere close to potty training, but he sure has had fun sitting on his "throne" He will sit on it and then after about 2 minutes tell us "all done" (even though he hasnt done anything), stand up, flush it, and put the lid down and then go over to wash his hands! Now if I could just get him to actually do something in it!

I better run, I can hear him emptying my purse out as we speak (a daily occurance)
