you gotta wonder

what goes through their heads sometimes? :)

Tonight, out of the blue Isaac says "when Ruthie was in your belly, could you not eat anything?" LOL.

I tried to explain about the stomach and the womb being two different receptacles, but I don't think that went anywhere. Finally I just said that you can still eat but not as much because there's not much room. And then:

Isaac: What did I do when I was a baby?
me: Um...you cried.
Isaac: And what else?
me: um, and you nursed.
Isaac: And what else?
this went on for ages...he kept asking me to tell him other things he did when he was a baby and I couldn't think of anything, LOL, I suck.

Then later we were discussing what words he could spell with his floor puzzle. I suggested that he spell something with the fridge magnets, because we have more of them so he could make a really long word.

me: How about "antidisestablishmentarianism"?
Isaac: No. I want something with the P. How about "window"?
me: There's no P in "window."

Finally we agreed on "paint" and agreed that it starts with P-A. Isaac ran off, only to return a moment later.

Isaac: Mama, there IS a P in apple! There are two!
me: (confused) um...well, yes.
Isaac: Yeah because it's A-P-P-Y.
me: No, it's A-P-P-L-E.
Isaac: Yeah, A-P-P-L-E. (confused)
me: I thought you were spelling PAINT.
Isaac: Oh yeah! PAINT!
me: P-A...
Isaac: (runs off)
