Three-year-old babblings

Isaac has started singing now. He has been asking for a few select songs at bedtime, but hasn't always sung along. Now he'll just break into song whenever, and he sometimes gets the words right. A few snippets of his favorites:

* Yes, Daddy loves me, yes, Daddy loves me, yes, Jesus loves me, yes, Jesus loves me . . . the Bible tells me so - the Bible - God's Word written - God made the world and everything in it.

* Hold up, wait a minute, put looove in it. Can't kick the habit, I've got to have it, I'm what they call a looove in it.

* The B-I-B-L-E, yes, book for me, I stand on God, the B-I-B-L-E!!!

* I may never march in the intry, ride the cavalry, shoot tillery. I may never zoom enemy, YES SIR!

* Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Mommy, happy birthday to Isaac, happy birthday cake for Naundry, Mommy and Naundry share birthday cake with me, at my birthday party, happy birthday to me!

And a recent phone conversation:

"Hi, Ben. It's me, Isaac. What are you doing? Are you at your house? I'm at my house. I'm in my room. Mommy is busy. No, I don't want to go to Tricia's house [Tricia being Ben's mom]. You want to come to my house? We can play with my toys. Bring your baby. My Daddy is at work. Do you want to go to church? I'm going to church with my Daddy. I like to play with you at church. I have fun! See you later!"

He has many phone conversations with his church friends, using our old phone. He pauses like he's listening, and even throws in a "Yeah?" or "umm hmm" at times. I love listening to his developing language.
