Here are a few of Isaac’s stock narratives, in order of frequency:
1) “Went to Science Center, Lots and Lots of Bugs there, T-Rex, comin’ right at us, say ROOOAR! Have BIG ClAWS! Have BIG TEETH!” (emphasis his)
2) “Mr. Jeremy Fisher, catchin’ some fish to eat, BIG FISH comin’ EAT JEREMY FISHER!!!! ALL UP!!! HUUUUGE FISH!!”
(with apologies to Beatrix Potter)
3) “Scruffty, fall in a rabbit hole. Muck hear a funny noise, too scared. Lofty SAVE SCUFFTY!”
(A plot line from Bob the Builder– Scruffty being the dog)
He charmed us at breakfast this morning, telling his T-Rex story over and over again with much dramatic roaring to a very awe-struck and speechless 17-month-old.
A brief conversation:
Daddy: Okay Isaac, time to put on your coat.
Isaac: No, dude.
Another brief conversation… Ben came into the room having just found a minature crane inside his shoe:
Daddy: Isaac, you tricked me! What do you think I found my shoe?
Isaac: Your leg?
