Monday: 56 months

Isaac is almost 56 months!  (I know, it's a day early.  But I took the pictures because the quilt goes to school and I figured I could balance out the late posts.)


Sleeping: Isaac decided to take some naps this month and it was always a problem.  He can't go to sleep if he does that.  We're slowly working out a good method to deal with it (as he'll probably take a nap at school), but it can still be annoying.  (Tonight he came down, said that his extra awake time was done and that he was sick.  He wanted yucky medicine for a headache.  I told him sleep was good for a headache.  He asked how many minutes could he come back down.  Ben said thirty and he waffled.  I suggested setting his time (sixty minutes) and he jumped at it.  Five minutes later he seems to be asleep.)


Crying: we had some huge bouts of crying this month...longer than he's ever had before.  I think what he's crying about is rather silly...usually the routine changes and he doesn't like the change.  (He knows that the routine is going to change...it isn't a surprise.)  It slowly seems to be getting better and yesterday he only cried for twenty minutes and didn't scream.


Activities: Although we had the few issues mentioned above, they really have only happened a few times.  Most of the time he is still our silly puppy dog.  He loves being silly (and Joshua encourages it a lot).  He loves playing, still usually defined as Castle or Bucky, with us.  He also likes Legos, going to the beach, baking, and taking his time while eating.  He is not all that excited about school starting again because he doesn't want to nap or color.  He still runs a lot, often with his arms waving as boosters or jets or rockets.


Chores: chores are still going pretty well, although they usually get done right before bed.  He is in charge of putting his clean clothes away, and likes to use pants hangers to clip them.  I decided that was fine, but that there should only be one shirt per hanger.
