I changed my mind!

My friends who don't have gmail accounts haven't been able to look at this anymore, and that feels sad. So I am becoming public again, but not to search engines, and only devoted to all things Isaac and Noa.
Thank you for bearing with me :)

New Words Noa!

Yeah, I'm a big girl who sits in a rocking chair!

I feel like the popcorn is starting to pop!
Today I asked Isaac if he wanted to take a bath with Noa and she said, "Beth? Beth? Beth!?" Noa really really loves baths, so it's no surprise that bath, or beth, would be one of her first words, but it makes me so happy to hear it. She also says "Wa" for water, "Mommeee, Dadeeee, this?, that?", and of course "Nooooo"

Such A Little Big Guy

Escorting his friend Harper home from the playground

We were sitting at the kitchen table when Isaac said, "I'd like to go to outer space if the price comes down!"

I found out later that he and Jeremy had been discussing Virgin Atlantic's plan to take civilians to outer space and that it would be expensive. Though when he started whining and crying about wanting a sweet snack, I reassured myself that he wasn't actually 43 1/2, only 3 1/2.

Some of my mommy friends say he's already like a dad. And a friend from Fort Greene said he totally looks like his friend Roger. He says he's a chrysalis, in between the caterpillars and butterflies at his little preschool.

Bathing Beauties!

Oh, they had a good time!

There is nothing like a messy wet baby-head!

Noa has been enjoying playing with her friend Asha, visiting all the way from lovely Ireland! They both really enjoyed splashing.

Noa is showing off some new words for our friends:

Hi! (That's a major one, with hand-waving)
Bye! (Also with waving)
Mommeeee (usually in distress)
Daaaiii, or Daadii (usually with excitement and happiness)
He-yo (with her little hand on her ear, like she's talking on the phone)
and just today, Maisy!, For Maisy mouse, of the beautiful books by Lucy Cousins.

Oh, she's growin' up!!
