Day One: Grandma Jane and her Isaac

So it looks like Grandma and Isaac had a lot of fun together, especially after Isaac finally decided it was okay to sleep for a few hours at a time so as to eliminate the crank. Of course he and Grandma are crazy for each other, but Grandma said they had a little rough time this morning -- we think it's probably because this is the first time he had really been in the house without Mom OR Dad there. I called in the middle of the day to be nosy, and Isaac actually talked to me on the phone. It was so cute. A sample transcript:

Claire: Hi Isaac! What are you and Grandma doing?
Isaac: Aaaaaaaah-gah!
Claire: Oh really? That sounds like too much fun.
Isaac: Mmmmmmgah.
Claire: Mommy misses you, too. Mom's at work. She wishes she could be home with you two.
Isaac: Oooh, owwww-mgah!

Isaac and I also made up a song this morning, as I was getting my lunch together. We were pretty proud of it -- it's definitely Dad-quality.

The Turkey Sandwich Song
(sung to the tune of 'Bicycle Built For Two')

Turkey, turkey, you are so good for me
Low in fat and low in calories
You make me so strong and perky
I love to love you, turkey
And you'll taste sweet
Upon some wheat bread we found at the QFC.

That's what parenting is all about really -- creative song-smithing. And careful caffeine management.
