The books didn’t inspire him to smear my lotion into his hair (refer to picture below), but this is my most recently taken picture of Isaac, so I used it anyway.

2.26.08 We read books about sharks tonight. It’s amazing that Isaac isn’t afraid of them because when we read about seals, he would cover up the picture of the seal while I read so that he didn’t have to see it. He actually likes sharks because they eat seals. He doesn’t like seals because they eat penguins. After we read he asked what the fish will do when they swim under the sharks. I told him that the sharks would eat the fish. He told me that “The fish will tell the sharks to eat seals so seals don’t eat penguins”. He also told me that the sharks will get legs and come out of the water. When I explained that the sharks can’t come out of the water because they can’t breath when they are out of the water he told me that “the fish will tell the sharks to close their mouths if they can’t breath.”

2.28.08 I read a book to Isaac tonight about what babies can do when they’re born. It led us to a conversation about the baby growing in my tummy. I told him that his new little sister wouldn’t know anything about trains. He told me that he wanted to teach her that trains drive on train tracks. He said that she would try to drive the trains on the road. Then he said that she would not let him scratch his itches. He said she will cry and move his hand off of the itches so that he can’t scratch them. He decided a little later in the conversation that he wanted to teach her how to scratch her itches. He explained that he would put her hand on the itch and show her how to scratch it.
