And here is parenting in a nutshell:
Isaac: Mama, did you throw up?
Mama: Yeah, a little.
Isaac: Do you feel better now?
Mama: No, not really.
Isaac: Oh. Will you read me this book?

Don't worry, I'm better now! And no, I'm not pregnant!
Isaac was actually pretty helpful. I did read to him when he first asked, but later, when I didn't feel up to it, he put on an LP of "Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel" all by himself. And when I was unavailable in the bathroom, he entertained Laurel, who was mostly content but occasionally complained about being stuck alone in her crib. They're good kids.
