Oh So Literal

Sometimes I have to giggle at the literal response that I get from Isaiah.

Tim was outside grilling today, and I was preparing the rest of lunch inside with the kids. A timer beeped, so I asked Isaiah to "open the door and tell Daddy, 'The timer went off.'"

Well, he did that all right.

But which door did he open?

Not the door to outside where Tim was grilling...he opened the refrigerator door and said, "Daddy, the timer!" It was the closest door to him, and I wasn't specific enough in my direction.

That one made me Laugh Out Loud!!!

Progress Communicating

Isaiah is continuing to make progress with his communication skills. He has learned how to tell us, "I can't do it," when he is having trouble with something and needs our help.

Funny story - last night, Mallory decided to sit on the Elmo potty. (She didn't go, but it was exciting that she wanted to try it out.) Well, Isaiah saw this happening, and he walked up to me, put his hand on my arm to get my attention and said, "I have to go potty." WOW! We rushed him in and he never did go, but we were ecstatic that he talked about it. I really think that they will both get trained at the same time. I think his watching Mallory go through it will be really good for his learning. For now, we will just be patient.
