Isaac and Oliver

eating dinner

Isaac says ‘nothing matters…’

one cute kid

Random quote

Out of nowhere, and kind of shyly, as though he was trying it on for size, Isaac said, “This is my joint!”

being cool

as isaac was getting ready to leave for school today: “i need my bracelet so i can be cool.”

past tense

isaac has been working hard at using the past tense. one recent example: the other night he asked about breast feeding the baby. i explained how it will work. then he said, “i ated milk from your nipple when i was just born.”

jewish & greek

one of isaac’s current favorite reads is a book about hanukkah. while reading it the other night, he stopped me to ask, “mama, you jewish?” i answered, “no, i’m greek, like yiayia. i’m greek and papa is jewish, so together our family is greek AND jewish. you are greek and jewish.” isaac quickly shot back, “nope. i’m just jewish.” “why?” i asked. “because i’m nervous.”
