some Isaac cuteness to cut through the gloom

[mamajoan]

Just to counteract the bitchiness of my last few posts, here's some Isaac cuteness. Get your insulin handy!

Isaac's latest cute thing to say is "correctamundo." This of course comes from me, because I got tired of saying "that's right!" every time he says something that's true, such as "that car yellow." So I started saying "you are correct" and that made me want to say "you are correct sir, yes!" (in imitation of the late lamented Phil Hartman doing his Ed McMahon impersonation, and if you didn't get that reference you're probably not in my target demographic). So instead, somehow, quite against my will, I started saying "correctamundo!" And of course Isaac picked it up. So now our conversations go something like this:

Isaac: Light change-a green?
Me: Yep, that light changed to green.
Isaac: Green mean go?
Me: Green means go! That's right!
Isaac: Wreck-a-minnow?
Me: CORRECT-A-MUNDOOOOOOO!
Isaac: RECT-A-MINNOOOOOOO!

bahahahaha!
anotherjen has witnessed this and can attest that it is fucking hilarious. :D

Isaac has also turned into a little songster. He sings all the time! Sometimes he sings things that I can recognize as snippets of actual songs, but sometimes he just seems to be improv-ing on "da da ma ma ba ba" or riffing on whatever was the last word/phrase he said. Like last night in the car he was like "where's our house?" and I was like "our house is that way" and he started singing randomly "dat way, dat way dat waaaaaay..." I freaking love it. I'm so happy that he's turning musical and picking up my habit, which in turn I picked up from my mom, of making a song out of whatever random conversation happens to be going on around him.

Isaac is also obsessed with brushing his teeth. He wants to do it like ten times a day -- every time I go near the bathroom, "Isaac brush-a teeth? Mama brush-a teeth?" Of course if he does it, I have to do it too, "Mama do it!" He directs the entire proceeding, "take-a Isaac toothbrush. take-a Mama toothbrush. Water. Toothpaste onna Isaac toothbrush. Toothpaste onna Mama toothbrush." Then he laughs like a loon when I start brushing. He thinks it's so funny to watch me brush my teeth. LOL. My dentist is going to love him. ;)

I'm so envious! Himself has to be watched like a hawk lest he pass his toothbrush once across his teeth, gently so as not to disturb the dirt, and declare his teeth to be brushed. It's a horrible surprise every time that I expect him to scrub.

heh, well I'm sure that at some point Isaac will realize that toothbrushing is a chore, not a game, and then he'll stop enjoying it so much. ;) But so far, he's still fooled....
