Life with a toddler is ever-changing. Here are three updates to recent posts:
- I had suggested that Isaac saying "Mommy" and "Daddy" instead of the "Mama" and "Dad" we had taught him was a developmental stage akin to saying "doggie" -- except he didn't say "doggie," which sort of undercut my theory. Well, now he does.
- I had reported that despite the frequency with which Isaac has suffered colds, he had never had a serious illness or even an annoying minor illness -- he had, for example, never thrown up. Well, now he has.
- I had hoped that even though Isaac is the #30-ranked boy's name in California perhaps it wasn't going to be part of the zeitgeist, despite the other baby Isaac from our childbirth class, and even though I had just read two references to the name in recent national publications. Well, yesterday I read yet another reference -- at the end of Peggy Orenstein's new infertility memoir Waiting for Daisy, after her daughter is finally born, she says that they would have named a son Isaac.
