Dried Beans...

So, we're moving in with Nathan's dad to save some money. I've been packing boxes, and right now on our kitchen floor I've got a box full of pantry items. Isaac found some bagged dried beans in the box, and was flipping out because he wanted some and I wouldn't give him any. I tried to give him some other snacks, but he just wouldn't go for it. Finally, I decided to open it and let him try one so he'd know how yucky it was. It's a package with like 15 different kinds of beans, so there were tiny ones that I knew he wouldn't choke on. He ate one and went "Mmmm", nodded his head yes, and put his hand out for some more. This went on for a couple of minutes, and then I was able to divert his attention with some milk and crackers. I think I'll be seeing those beans in his diaper tomorrow! Nathan brought in the big bottle of blue wiper fluid the other day, and Isaac wanted some SO bad. He had some blue gator-aid the other day, so I know that's what he thought it was. I really don't want to make friends with the people over at poison control, so we got that hidden away quickly. This age is so funny. He's communicating better (thanks sign language! and speaking skills) but he is also getting so frustrated when he can't communicate what he really wants. The temper tantrums have really begun. I've found that what he wants more than anything is my attention. I feel so grateful that we made the choice for me to stay home and that it has been working out so far.
