Life with Izzie- Going Places

Isabelle loves this toy car that Monah Eemo let her borrow.  She plays out different scenarios every time she goes for a ride.  The conversation always starts the same, but Isabelle always changes who she is going to go see.

Izzie: Bye, Eomma!
Me: Where are you going?
Izzie: I am going to see Gavin Oppa, Meela Unni, and Susan Eemo.
Me: Okay, have fun!

Izzie: Bye, Eomma!
Me: Where are you going?
Izzie: Monah Eemo jib (house).  I will eat pancakes with Celeste. (They had pancakes together when we went over last time.)
Me: Okay, tell Celeste I said hi!

Izzie: Bye, Eomma!
Me: Where are you going?
Izzie: Shopping!
Me: Where are you going shopping?
Izzie: Costco.
Me: Oh, what are you going to get at Costco?
Izzie: I will buy a snowman and tangerines.  (She was referring to those light up snowmen they had on display when it was Christmas.)

Izzie: Bbang, bbang!
Me: Where are you going?
Izzie: To Disneyland with Angie Eemo!
Me: Oh, okay!  Hve fun!
Izzie: I'm back!
Me: What did you do?
Izzie: I went on Caterpillar ride (at California Adventure) and the Carousel.  And, I saw Dora!
Me: Ummm, Dora was at Disneyland?  Uh... okay.

No car ride is complete without her shades and a "thumbs up"!  Haha!

(Monah, we really need to return this car back to you!  Isabelle has had so much fun playing in it... but before Celeste misses her car, we need to give it back.  :)  Otherwise, Isabelle will have a harder time parting with it!)




On another note, Isabelle is making progress with potty training!  :)  She was moving forward for awhile, starting the whole "I'm going to do it all by myself" process back during Thanksgiving.  But then she started wanting to do everything Isaiah was doing- wearing bibs, drinking out of bottles, nursing... and of course, that included living in diapers.  Then, she told me the potty was "scary" when I asked her if she wanted to use the potty.  So, I didn't push it (although other people did) and knew, in time, she would be ready.  And when she was ready, Isabelle would let me know.

Today, we took one step forward!  After I came home from work, I started doing the dishes from all my pumping accessories (bottles, lids, shields, membranes, etc.), when Isabelle called out, "Eomma!  Look!  I did it!  I took diaper and baji (pants) off!  I did a pee pee in the potty!"

I walked over to her, and sure enough, I found her dirty diaper on top of our table, her pants on the floor, and pee pee inside the Elmo potty!  HOORAY!  :)
