It a whale.
SETTING: Isk and Amal have just walked to the local drugstore for sundries, and picked up a Valentine's Day gift for Leigh while they are at it. As they approach the house, Amal says, "Now, Isk, the gift we got for Mama is for Valentine's Day. So don't tell her what it is."
Amal and Isk enter the house, and Amal tells him to head down the hall to the bathroom to take his boots off. Leigh steps into the hall to prevent snowy boots from tracking into the living room (he is not so good with the order "stop").
ISK: Mama! We bought you a wh-
AMAL: *claps her hand over his mouth* ISKANDER. That present is for Valentine's Day.
ISK (muffled): It a whaaaaaaaaale.
AMAL: What did I tell you as we were walking in the house?
ISK (released from behind Mommy's hand): Mama for Valentine's Day we got a whale.
LEIGH: *cracks up*
AMAL (herding him into the bathroom to remove outerwear): I told you not to tell her, because presents should be a surprise.
ISK (to Leigh): It a whale surprise.
AMAL: *gives up forever*

Literally, he's sitting next to me repeating "It a whale" on an endless loop as I type this entry.
Tell me they're not two forever. Please.

I so wish I lived nearby so I could babysit for you two. It is extra hard when parents get no time to themselves.
On the other hand, this time goes by so quickly. And you'll never have it again, not with him, anyway. Easy for me to say, I know. Perspective of a mother of a 24-year-old vs. mother of a two.
