Grocery Drama

We went to the grocery store today and I’ve again recommitted to not bring Isaak. He wanted to push his own cart and would barely let me touch it UNTIL he spotted gumdrops. Gumdrops. He ran down to the end of the aisle and tried to figure how to get them off the hook. I was relieved when I figured he couldn’t get them off. I told him he couldn’t have any, but that didn’t deter him-he kept tugging, so I in turn tugged him away. I was proud of myself and I thought I had a handle on the situation, then he looked up at me and said Please Mommy. I still said no. I’m made of steel right? We got about two aisles away and I set him back down so he could push his cart. He seemed resigned on the gumdrop idea, but I was WRONG! He darted back between my legs and grabbed unto those gumdrops and pulled with all his little boy might and the plastic broke! Down came the bag of gumdrops. Isaak was elated. He looked at me with the biggest smile on his face and placed them in the cart. I resigned. We broke the bag-we had to buy them…..at least he said please right? We did make him wait until we got to the car to eat them though--even though we had a full blown temper tantrum in the check out line when he saw me put them into the shopping bag. Cory had to pull him away. During this turmoil-Isaak apparently knocked the keys out of Cory’s hand and I didn’t notice, so when we got to the car we realized that we didn’t have any keys. I refused to take Isaak back inside. Cory luckily found the keys in about five minutes. Phew. But I’m sticking to my guns after this-No Isaak in the grocery store!!!!

It was probably worse for you than anyone else. I bet no one else even noticed. One day I will let you go with ALL of mine and then you will wish you only had him and it won't seem so bad!

This sounds familiar (minus the loosing the keys part- eeck!!!) I absolutely avoid shopping with AliCherie. I will say though that when I see others having "grocery drama" with their kids I feel utter sympathy for them and then I am thankful that it isn't me (because I leave AliCherie at home with James.) :D

That little Isaak of yours can be quite the handful. I am willing to bet going to the store with him is similar to going to the store with a dozen kids! I don't know if I am allowed to tell you this BUT my parents had 8 kids and ever since they met Isaak they will ask me how he is doing followed up with a comment about how much energy he has. My dad is convinced that Isaak has more energy than any child he has ever met.

Good news is, Isaak is pretty much the cutest kid ever.... seriously! If I were there, I would watch him and then you could go do the grocery shopping for the both of us! Ha ha ha ha :)

So funny! I'm with you though. I rarely take Izzy to the grocery store, I go when Mike is home so he can watch her.

Alas I speak

First of all it was easy to get that Widget of the Baby on, but I have no idea how to get if off. It's not that I don't want to remove it, I just don't know how. I'm not the smartest blogger on the block. I bet there is some button that says remove widget somewhere. So the big day finally arrived-if you want to know as little as possible I suggest that you read no further, but just scroll down and enjoy the pictures. I slept in on Thursday(last week)-it was glorious. I straightened my hair, shaved my legs and just slowly got ready for work. I then decided that it was essential that I pick up baby wipes from Costco. My body must have known that I would be needing them soon. I'm walking around Costco and all of the sudden I pee my pants. I was looking all around for a bathroom, but I couldn't see one anywhere. I thought well it was just a little leak and I know there is a bathroom at target and they are usually pretty clean. So I head over to target and I continue...

From me to him

Dear Isaak, Happy Birthday my little guy! It feels like just yesterday that you were literally pulled out to come into this world. Yes literally with forceps around your little head because you accidentally faced the wrong direction or maybe you faced the direction you wanted to. You didn’t seem like you were quite ready to come out because you were just wailing--almost like you were saying, “You know--I was perfectly comfortable in there.” I’ve learned this year that you surely know what you want and you will not stop until you get it. For example when we tried to spend the weekend away from home and you didn't like sleeping in your playpen! You woke up every 1/2 hour to let us know you weren't comfortable. You finally fell asleep around 3am when we put you on the bouncer. Cory slept with his arm around you on the floor so you didn't roll off. You weren’t going to come easy, eh?? I remember pushing and pushing and pushing and thinking this isn’t going how I thought that i...

Whaaaaat??????

I'm happily brushing my teeth in the bathroom. I'm looking around wondering what else I could be doing while I'm brushing my teeth and I started to think to myself, hmmmm , I wonder what's in toothpaste? I picked up the tube with my free hand and continued brushing. As I was reading the back I noticed a WaRnINg : Do not use for more than four weeks at a time. What? Do not use for more than four weeks? I anticipated reading if you swallow more than what you are brushing your teeth with call poison control. I try to start adding up how long I've been using this toothpaste. Cory didn't like it, so I've been using it solo and it has surely been more than four weeks. Now I don't know what to do with it--do I take a break and come back to it or do I just keep using it? I mean it's been about three months and I still have quite a bit left and nothing seems out of the ordinary yet...But seriously I think that the warning on the toothpaste should at least be...
