Four Hand Fulls

I looked up Isaac's name in the dictionary the other day and it said, "Isaac - boy who hates wearing clothes, especially diapers." This kid! If Shaun had to get hurt, it happened at the perfect time. It has been so nice having him home to help (as much as he can that is). Isaac has decided to throw a fit EVERYTIME we (because it takes both of us) change his diaper or put clothes on him. He's incredibly strong!!! I've had to put diapers on him while he's standing up! I realized that this was crazy and reminded myself that I was the parent and that he will do what I want him to do... Even if that means a little swat on the side of the leg and a very unhappy boy! Disciplining your child is hard! Isaac is a determind little guy and knows what he wants. He's the real energizer bunny with no off switch. He hates being held down for even a 20 second diaper change for fear that he might miss something!

Handful, or not, he is still so cute. :)

That's probably a lot cuter from my POV than from yours... :)

I had to master the standing-up diaper-change when Kait was almost 2.

This can be a challenge. You are doing a great job because if you don't "train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it" life will be hard! I remember having to swat Isaac's daddys leg a few times when he was young. He soon realized that if he got with the program he was done and off and running soon again! Be strong. It really will make things easier in the long run! But he is SO cute!
