Isaac came down with a stomach bug on Wednesday. He missed school Thursday and Friday which he loved, because that meant staying at home snuggling and watching movies. Since being in public school, he has caught some of the strangest viruses! We wash hands here at home like crazy, but once he's at school there's just no control over what other kids have picked or touched and then what Isaac comes in contact with. His tummy is better and his fever was very brief (we're fortunate that he's not much of a fever/barfing kid), but his appetite still hasn't picked up and he's not using the potty as often as he should. It makes me nervous when my wispy child doesn't eat!

Today I was able to take him to the local hospital for their class for kids about becoming a big brother or sister. For the most part he did great and even participated, but I was mortified that he kept reaching up to touch my boobs! He does that every now and then, I have no idea why except maybe he thinks he's rubbing my baby belly?! But for him to do it like 3 or 4 times in the span of an hour, in public, was something else! There were 4 other kids there with their parents, ranging in age from 2 to Isaac's age, 5. The lady doing this class is a nurse there at the hospital, and she was really great with the kids. She got down on the floor and talked to them about things they could do with their new baby brother or sister, like talk to them or touch them gently, or even sing to them. She asked the kids if they know any songs they could sing to the baby? One 3 year old girl started singing "Jesus loves me, this I know....", and another child suggested the Itsy Bitsy Spider. A 4 year old girl raised her hand and said she knew a song she could sing, and then proceeded to sing out "Low" to the horror of her parents. The rest of the parents in the room sat stunned for a moment, and then everyone roared laughing! I don't think her parents will ever forget that!
