Today marks the day when Isaac became my errand boy. I was cuddled up here on the couch enjoying my blanket and laptop while he built another car train. My nose began to dribble a little, as it has been prone to do over the last couple of days. I thought to myself, “He has wee little hands that know how to carry things, he knows what toilet paper is, and he knows where it is. Hmmm.” We sat for awhile when suddenly another thought hit me. It STANKS of poop in here. Someone pooped their pants and I might be comfortable in my non-snuggie blanket, but I’m not that comfortable. And then I immediately realized I could ask Isaac to go get me toilet paper to blow my nose with. I asked him and he enthusiastically agreed and ran off to the bathroom. He came back with a tiny shred of toilet paper and gave it to me with such contentment in his eyes. Then I asked him to bring me more toilet paper, “the whole roll” I said as I gestured the approximate size of a toilet paper roll. He was again overly excited about his quest and ran off to get the toilet paper for me. He came back with another tiny, microscopic scrape of toilet paper. Then I said, “I need to blow my nose, so I need mo…” and he immediately got it. I saw the light bulb brighten over his head as he acknowledged “Oh!” and ran off to get it. Then he did indeed bring the entire roll and said “blow your nose?” Amazing. A month ago our conversations were one way and boring. Now we talk. Now I enjoy approximately 93% of our conversations. Hurray for tiny little humans. Hurray for this one, especially. (Minus the poop.)

fantastic. now teach him how to vacuum.
Wow, I wish I had been quicker at some of these perks. I waited too late and had to settle for my 12 to 30 somethings handing me my (take your pick, whatever) from my purse as I drove down the road. By then, complaints abounded and still do.
Way to go Moe – you rock!
