1) "Issac's like a box. He's brown, and people can carry him around."
2) Dad is holding both Isaac and Bella, lying on the ground.
"We're just like a burrito! Isaac's the beans, and I'm the rice! And you're the bowl. Mommy can be the cheese and sour cream"
3) Playing Go Fish (with animal cards - mommy and baby are the pair):
Dad: Do you have a mouse?
Bella: Which one do you have... the baby?
Dad: Yes, the baby.
Bella: Oh, I can just imagine that baby mouse, it's so cute.
(closes eyes and smiles)
I can imagine that mouse any time and it's right there in my mind....
You know who else I can imagine and they're right there in my mind?
You and Issac. Even when I'm playing with Jenny, I can imagine you, and it's like you're there with us.
(eyes remain closed)
Dad: So... do you have the mommy Mouse then?
Bella: (long pause)
I've completed my journey, and now I think I need to tell you.....
...
No. (eyes snap open with a grin)
4) Isaac Bonus: Not to be outdone by his sister, Issac has developed a "diabolical cackle" when he is officially "up to no good". We watched him dismantle the cushions on a chair that indicated he would be climbing up to attack one of the nearby decorations... and as he did so, he had a low satisfied chuckle that burbled up into prime villainous laughter. Pamela and I were in stitches.
Later, he had got ahold of my iPhone, but I was immediately alerted by his "Mwahahahaha!" worthy of Ming the Merciless. It's just amazing to watch him being bad, and KNOWING he's being bad. Good think we still love him.
