Day 1

I'm going to try to blog - at least a little - every day I'm with Isaac. So here goes... This morning we arrived around 7am, usually very early for me (my brother knows I'm no morning person). But for time with Isaac!? you kidding? Of course I'll get up at any hour of the day. I'm excited - and very hopeful. I'm hoping he'll like me, I'm hoping I won't mess something up or not be able to figure him out, I'm hoping all goes well. Ok, well - he cried for about 2 hours after JoJo left, off and on. And when Isaac cries - it's exactly the opposite of his smiles, which are glorious. OMG, that boy gets AnGrY! When he cries, there's no gray area, he's either in or out. He always sounds like he got hurt when he really gets going. I love this about him - he commits himself and goes for it. I kiss his forehead and cheeks while he cries, I'm hoping it doesn't make him even more angry, but secretly I'm hoping he's easily teased and I'm laughing a little inside. He's just so dramatic haha - like my brother. I think he just wants a boob, pretty sure that's it. He seems to get pretty mad whenever I try giving him his pacifier or bottle, and there's no consoling him at times. He misses his mama I'm sure. Funny cuz I think he sensed her leaving, I'm pretty sure he knows what's up. Smart kid. I'm no dummy either, I find one of JoJo's shirts, a worn one from her laundry basket (sorry!), and put it next to him - he LOVES it. He's pretty gosh darn quiet the rest of the day. He finally starts napping soundly, before that shirt next to his face he was cat-napping and restless. I'm so excited I found his thing - a solution, my success for the day! Yay! Isaac poops big time, up and out of his diaper, I have to bathe him and change his clothes. I think he's getting back at me - maybe for figuring him out? Or for making weird and bizarre faces at him all day. He's pleased I think, his success for the day. JoJo comes home early, no doubt because she misses him (and I'm sure a little worried - what good mom wouldn't be?). We agree it's going to take some time and adjustment, but she's no amateur (Seslie went to day-care too). I'm seriously excited to come back and can't wait for another day with Isaac.
