I just got back from the Winter Assembly at my boys' school. Eli memorized his part, and performed it with gusto. Isaac was a jellyfish, and looked adorable. He memorized every word from "Under the Sea". Fun times...

So I just need to get it over with and post without a picture! Something tells me that I need to have a picture to post an interesting blog - but I haven't taken a picture in a couple of weeks. So here goes...
I am doing so well. Truly, I can't remember ever being happier. The nice thing is that in this current state of being I recognize that I've got it good. In times past, I haven't realized how happy I was until I hit a rough patch. I fully expect to go through more down times, but for now I'm happy!
Isaac makes me happy. He informed me yesterday that another way to say the word "fifty" is "fiddy". I quickly told him that that isn't how we say "fifty". Isaac is a lover of games. He is continuously asking me to play battleship, connect four, uno, mother-may-I?, simon says, and boggle. He almost always cries when he loses (which is most always).
Eli makes me smile. I recently loaned all but two of our kitchen chairs to a neighbor for a party she was having. At dinner time Isaac and Eli were eating at the table while I fed James in his high chair. Eli noticed that I was standing to feed James, and said, "oh mom, you could sit in this chair." I was really touched by his spontaneous offering. Caution: do not read further if you might be offended by talk of "private parts". At the dinner table last night Eli asked me why it hurts when you squeeze the ball by your penis. I told him that that was his body's way of saying, "don't squeeze me". Eli often makes me laugh.
James makes me crazy! Crazy with love, and crazy with angst. James is on the cusp of verbal independence. He is frustrated when I can't understand exactly what he is trying to tell me. I am frustrated when he says "no" to every suggestion/question that I ask. I find that his tempermant is much more agreeable when I set time aside to focus entirely on him.
Life is good. I love my family.
