Getting so big...

This statement refers not just to how big Isaiah is getting but how "big" his hair has gotten. For the record I love Little Man's curls and yes I did intentionally grow it out. Now until the last couple of weeks Little Man has let me comb out his hair each day and then wet it to keep it curly. But in the midst of being two and having independence he has not been so keen on my combing or wetting his hair lately. So, much to the delight of many of my friends, I took him yesterday to go get his hair cut.

Little Man yesterday morning before his hair cut!

I was amazed at how different he looked once his hair was cut. He looked like a different little boy. Actually that was it, he looked like a little boy instead of a my baby! He is growing up so fast!
Post haircut. What a smile and such long legs!

Isaiah-isms

Every time I enter a new developmental stage with Isaiah I think it is the best stage yet. (I hope that continues into the teenage years!) We are in the twos and don't get me wrong, he is strong willed, stubborn and wants control of as many things as he possibly can have. I have learned that the more things I can give him control over the more willing he is to let me have control on the things he can't. But I love watching him grow..physically, mentally, emotionally and right now verbally. He has come up with some great statements lately as he continues to master language.

Here are a few of my favorite Isaiah-ism as of late...

1) "Come sit sit"- said when he wants you to come sit by him and read or do a puzzle

2) "I did it"- most often said with arms thrown up in the air and usually after I have done something he wants done like pouring a cup of apple juice

3) "No no Mr. Kr***" - said when he is heading into an area he knows he is not suppose to go :)

4) " Mommy I hold you" - said when he wants my hand to walk downstairs or when he wants a hug

5) " Come, come..follow me" - said as he reaches for a hand to lead you somewhere he wants to go

6) "Tag you are it" - often said from the back seat of the car or as he runs from me to another room in the house!

He amazes me daily and everyday I fall more and more in love with him!
