Isaac has a mind like Craig. He likes to lnow how things work. We always see him trying to figure things out whether it is a physical or a mental challenge. Recently he has developed 2 theories that send Craig and I laughing hysterically every time he brings them up. The first theory was created a few weeks ago while we were having a thunder storm. It was quite stormy and the thunder was loud and it scared Isaac. So Craig and I sat with him trying to explain to him that there was nothing to be scared about because mommy and daddy and God were with him. Well that didn't comfort his fears so I (Jennifer) took a different approach. Idecided to relate the sound of the thunder to a not-so-scary similar sound. And what I came up with was that the thunder sounded like a big truck driving down the road in front of our house. As soon as I said that he looked at me as if a light had just come on in his head and said "God driving big truck, going bump, bump, bump." I tried to hold back the laughter as I explain to him that first of all it just sounded like a truck and second that God wasn't driving the truck, God was with him. But all of that explanation was lost because he was so excited to now know that thunder was not scary it was just God driving a big truck over bumps.
Isaac's second theory was developed as Craig and I have been talking about potty training. He has not been the least bit interested in even putting on the underwear. Well, the other day he randomly agreed to put the underwear on and Craig and I shot into action in efforts to encourage him to pee in the potty. After feeding him a lot of liquid and sitting on the potty off and on for 1.5 hrs nothing had happened. We knew it was coming soon so we were watching him closely. Needless to say he had his first accident and left a puddle of pee on our kitchen floor. After that he decided he was done with the underwear because "they make him pee on the floor". All the encouragement in the world was not enough to get him to put that underwear back on because he was just sure he would pee on the floor as soon as he put them on. So we are still working on this. As tiring and frustrating as Isaac can be as a two year old we love to laugh at all of the wonderful things he does and says. He keeps us on our toes every minute of every day.

That is the cutest thing I have ever heard!
For awhile Koen thought he had to go to bed for the moon to come up. Kids are funny.
Kelly just told me about your blog so now we can completely ditch any real interaction and just be cyber friends!
