A week of firsts

He is trying to sit.
The first bath with all three of them--too rowdy for the baby!
He found his feet and sucks his toes. It's cute, and gross.

This morning we were singing a rousing rendition of "Choo, Choo, the Big Train" while I was getting the muffins out of the oven. Mike just bought me those rubber muffin "tins" and I have to say that I love them. I am completely converted and will never go back. Anyway, you have to put the rubber muffin tins on a cookie sheet. I was getting it out with one hand and had the baby in the other. We got to the part of the song where we sing, "Choo, Choooooooo" and the baby screamed. I didn't see anything happen but realized it was a "I'm in pain"cry and not a "that loud version of choo, choo just scared me". He had wiggled his little hands and gotten burnt! I immediately ran his little fingers in the water but they blistered instantly. The poor kid cried for a long, long time. It made me so sad.

Will went to a dance class for the first time this past week. He really loved it but he was the only boy and I have to reiterate the fact that boys and girls are very different. I was hoping for a jazz or hip-hop class but it looks like they only have ballet and tap. He was so funny to watch. He wasn't shy at all and kept running around because he was so excited. He got to do the balance beam and somersaults. After, he didn't want to leave and just kept dancing when everyone else left. We are going to check out tumbling and see if he likes that better. I am hoping there will be boys at the tumbling. We had originally looked at into soccer and t-ball but it was twice as much.

As for Isaac's "first," he had a cold last week....and DIDN'T get an EARACHE!! Triumphant first for him! Not a first, but still cool, is that he keeps going potty in the toilet. He doesn't go every day but he always asks me if he can sit on the toilet and sometimes goes and only sometimes falls in ;)
