Sunday: Dominion

Today we played online Dominion with our friends.  It was fun.  Nothing special to report I guess, though.  Isaac always goes to bed before it starts (unlike the other children) so it's a little sad that we don't get to show him off.

Doug won the first three games, but Ryan and I managed to beat him on the last game.

Saturday: feelings

Isaac is starting to figure out his feelings.  Yesterday and today the feeling he is learning about is frustration.  Frustration that his walker ran into a wall.  Frustration that the end table ran into the wall.  Frustration that I wouldn't pick him up.  Frustration that he had to wait for his food.

It's annoying, but I suppose part of growing up.

He also got to experience some happy feelings with Ben today though.  Notice that he even has his own controller.

Friday: aqua fit II

Today during aquarobics we were supposed to hold a Styrofoam noodle in front of us and then push it down while our arms were extended.

The noodle and I must have about the same buoyancy because I could not push it down without jumping on top of it.  I looked around and no one else seemed to be having any problems.  Maybe I was in water that was too deep.  I was laughing in the inside because I probably looked hilarious as I fought with the noodle while trying to keep my composure.

Thursday: Happy Valentine's Day

Isaac got a small gift from Dad and Pat for Valentines. He read the card.

And ate some M&Ms.  He loves M&Ms.  Although I tend to only give him half candies because otherwise he has a tendency to drool colored drool and that is gross.

Wednesday: overheard

Tuesday: success!

Isaac has a few responsibilities around the house.  He (sometimes) has to put away things he's gotten out.  He stands by the correct drawer, I hand him the item, he puts it in...hopefully.  The whole process takes about twenty times longer than just doing it myself.  Isaac also has to put away his clean silverware from the dishwasher.  Usually this happens after he's played with it and I've emptied the rest of the dishwasher.

Today he motioned that he wanted to put the silverware away right away!  (It's in the top drawer, so I pick him up to do it.)  And there were two bottles that I asked him to put away and he did it.  I think the latter one might have been a fluke, but I'm going with it.  He also proceeded to take out a ton of stuff after putting the bottles away, but one step at a time.

Monday: keys, monkeys, and dogs

A few days ago I realized that I had lost my keys for the car I'm currently not driving.  How annoying.  I drive that car when it isn't snowing, so it would be nice to have them.  But since I'm not currently driving it, I had no idea when or where I lost them.  I found them today!  They were in my Bible Study bag.  It took me a while to figure out how they ended up there, but I think they fell out when I put my purse in the bag.

We've been doing more walking.  He likes to attack the blue monkey.  This isn't a very good attack (or a great video), but it shows that he can walk more.

We were also reading a book that had dogs in it today and I said "where's the dog?" and Isaac pointed to the dog.  Again and again.

He can't (won't?) point to Mom or Dad or cats or kitties when questioned, but he'll point to dogs.  How did that happen?  He only sees dogs once in a while.
