Babies

On our car ride to school...

Mom.
Yes, Isaiah.
When Alana grows up, she will have a baby.
Thats right Isaiah. When Alana grows up, she will get married and then have a baby.
Thats so cool. She'll have a baby and then we'll have more babies in the family!
Yep, when you grow up and get married, your wife will have a baby too!
Yea! I'm going to marry someone that's already pregnant!
Uhh...ok.

Happy Friday!

Here are some of Isaiah's funny sayings this week :)

"Mom, I'm addicted to you. I'm addicted to you because I came out from your stomach."

"I only want strong muscles like dad...but I don't want old feet like dad because they are dirty."

"Dear Lord. Please help mom because she says that she is happy when dad goes away."

"Did I do a good job? Yes? Does this mean I'm ready for kindergarten?"

I love you Isaiah!

You can't leave us

J - You know what?  You can do whatever you want tonight.  So, if you want to stay up late, then we can stay up late.  Mother's day started early this year.

E - That's right.  I should be able to do whatever I want.  Its my day.  Maybe next year I might spend it away.

J - What?!

E - Yes, since its MY day.  Then I should be able to do whatever I want and that is to go away somewhere.

J - It better be with your family.

E - No, it doesn't have to be.  Its mother's day and I may want go away and spend it alone somewhere else.

I - But mom, you cant go away.

E - Yes, I can.  I can go away if I want because its mommy's day.

I - But you cant leave us.

E - Yes, I can leave.

I - No, you cant.

E - Why not?

I - You can't leave us because you make good food.

I want to dress fancy

Isaiah, why do you want to dress fancy?

I want to dress fancy so I can get a girlfriend.

Do your friends at school have girlfriends? 

Yes, my friends have girlfriends.

What?  Which friend has a girlfriend?

Oliver. 

Who is Oliver's girlfriend?

Alexandria.

Isaiah, do you think that if you dress fancy then you will have a girlfriend?

Yes, if I dress fancy then girls are going to say to me "I want to be your girlfriend."

No Isaiah.  You do not need to dress fancy to get a girlfriend.

Yes, do you do.  Oliver has a girlfriend and he dresses fancy.

Who's Upset

Isaiah, did you do anything fun today at school?

Benjamin got in trouble today.

Oh, what did Benjamin do?

Benjamin colored on Alexandria's paper.

Did Alexandria do anything?

Yes, Alexandria did it first.  She colored Benjamin's paper first!

Oh my.  I bet Benjamin did get in trouble (assuming he got time out for this).  Was Benjamin upset?

No.

Did Alexandria get upset?

No.

Oh good.  No one got upset.

No, no.  Ms. Claire got upset!

What?  Why would Ms. Claire be upset if Benjamin and Alexandria didn't get upset?

Ms. Claire was upset.  She took Benjamin's coloring away!

I'm just a little boy

Isaiah, you need to start speaking Laos, especially when you're with grandma.

I don't know how to speak like you.  Its only for big people.

No, you need to learn how to speak Lao *speaking Laos*.

But I'm not Asian.  I'm just a little boy.

Isaiah, you can start by saying "Isaiah, yuk kin kow."  It means Isaiah is hungry.

Yucky cow?  Hahaha.  That sounds like garbage.

Hahaha.  Yes, I suppose when you say it.  It does sound like garbage.  Say it again - "Isaiah, yuk kin kow."

Hahaha.  Isaiah, yuky kow.

Iron

Mom, can you iron my pants? 
Sure, let mom have it. 
Can you iron my shirt too? 
Uh, no. 
I need it to be ironed. 
Isaiah, you do not need your clothes ironed. 
Please, mom? 
Ok, give me the shirt. 
Can you iron this shirt too (pointing to his undershirt)? 
Isaiah, really? 
Please, mom.  And, can you iron my socks?

I love Isaiah so much

On our way home, I turned on the radio to play some music for Isaiah.   Isaiah asked, "mom, do you know where the music is coming from?"  I replied that the music is coming from the radio.  He then says, "well I think there are little people in there playing music."  I nodded.  I just love his little imagination.

Dear Lord.  Please keep my little Isaiah young and full of imagination as long as possible.  I love him so much. Amen. 

Isaiah says...

Did you know that God made the water and boat calm? 

God has strong powers.

Did you know that God made our hearts, bones, and our brains?

She's my sister

Isaiah, mom loves you so much because you're so nice to your sister.

I know.  I love Alana.

What if your sister wants to watch whatever tv show she wants?

Its ok.  Alana can watch whatever she wants...even the girl shows.

Oh Isaiah!  You are such a sweet boy!

Best Mom EVER

Isaiah says to me - "Mom, you are the coolest mom ever because you make me yummy food to eat."

Hmmm...starting to sound like his dad :)
