Out of the mouth of Isaac

Some recent Isaac-isms to amuse you...

*I think he got this one from Mamaw. He squinches down his eyes and says, "Mom, I'm giving you THE EYE." As in, the Evil Eye.

*Every night, Isaac begs someone to lay down and "sleep" with him as a stalling tactic. One night this week, I told him no (as usual), that I had to do the laundry.
"No, Mommy, I need you to sleep on the floor, here next to my bed," clarified the Isaac.
What? I'm not sleeping on the floor, and I told him so.
"No no no, Mommy. You sleep here on the floor. Like MEEMAW."

I should explain that, when we stay at her house, I usually make Meemaw put Isaac to sleep. He sleeps on a crib mattress on the floor, and she lays next to him, on the floor, until he falls asleep.

Back to the new house... I laughed. "Isaac, your Meemaw is CRAZY. I am not crazy. I am not sleeping on the floor."
But that only gave him further amunition. "Yes, yes! You are crazy like Meemaw! Sleep here on the floor!"

*And my favorite. Last night Isaac informed me, as he does, that he needed "to go poop on the potty". As he is increasingly interested in doing, once I sat him on the pot, he asked to be left alone. I played with Jacob in the next room until I heard Isaac calling for me. "Mommy, come and see! It's a POOP FAMILY!"

How cute but the evil eye thing didn't come from mamaw but I'm sure he's picked up plenty of jargon from his mamaw. Maw C
