Tuesday: 47 months

Isaac turned 47 months yesterday!

(Joshua knows that quilts on the floor mean picture time, so he went from his quilt to Isaac's quilt.)

Attitude: Isaac's been pretty happy and more or less with it lately.  We haven't had a lot of behavior issues this month.  Isaac's been really nice to Joshua these last few days too.  Overall, he's pretty silly and full of energy.

Sleeping: we recently took out Isaac's nap and it seems to be working really well.  He's very ready to go to sleep at bed time (we sometimes put him to bed a tad early even) and he sleeps all night until about 7/7:30.  If he naps he stays awake for hours.  (Case in point - he took a nap at school today and is still awake at 11pm.  I might need to talk to them...)  During quiet time he has a drawer with activities that are just for quiet time....white board markers, assorted craft items (pipe cleaners, yarn, glue stick, trash pieces of Styrofoam, scissors, toothpicks), a few toys that he hasn't played with much, and some sticker books.  I'll have to be proactive about changing things out though.  He has been good about putting the items away at the end of quiet time.

Imagination: Isaac has started being a gate again after a few months of not being a gate.  He is also a puppy dog and also calls me mama dog all the time.  He loves his ball.  He still likes playing Castle and is always animating things.  Sometimes I think I talk more to toys throughout the day than I do to Isaac.

Color: His favorite color is still black, hands down.

Random things: Isaac has started sounding out syllables for words when we don't understand what he's saying.  It doesn't always help.  He was talking about someone at school (which is also a new thing) and I said, "his name is roman?" "No.  Ro-"  "ro"  "ing"  "ing?"  "Yes."  Ok, great.  He has a friend named Rowing.  It turns out the name is Rowen, so I was pretty close.  We talk a lot about what letter starts assorted words.  He can often give me the sound and sometimes correlate that to an actual letter.
