Sunday: toys
Today I moved Isaac's toys from the main room upstairs into his bedroom. I had them out before so that I could watch him, but now he is allowed to be without visual supervision a little more and I'm hoping it will be a little easier to keep everything clean. Although I really expect that the toys will just migrate out of the room.
Note: He's not allowed out of sound supervision. When he's too quiet he gets checked pretty quickly. :)

Friday: walking
Today I put my pedometer in Isaac's pocket.
Now, the number is probably off. The pedometer probably logs the number of steps that I carried him around. (My guess is about 400 because we went on some odd errands and I carried him more than normal.) It probably also logs each crawl as a step because it is based on the movement and doesn't care which direction it goes in.
At the end of the day, it said 4908. It was a pretty good day of walking. :) It helped that he took his walker and went from one side of the house to the other side and back to the first side and then back to the other side and then stopped in the bathroom and then to his bedroom and then back to the first side. I watched him while I was sitting, exhausted from shoveling. (As a side note, our driveway is shrinking.) He can walk without the walker, but he can almost run with it. And I'm not so worried that he will fall over backwards.

Thursday: dragging
I'm going to admit, today dragged.
Class today was just a time to work on projects. So there were a few questions, but not a ton. It was boring. Then I forgot the library books to return to the library, so Isaac and I just went home.
I was excited to take a nap, but Isaac was determined not to. I thought he should take a nap around 10:30am, but it took until 2:00pm. I kept expecting him to be sleepy and so when he wasn't the day continued to drag.
Once we left for racquetball the day sped up. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little better. If we can at least stay on a semi-normal schedule it would help.

Wednesday: a few pictures
As promised, I took a few pictures today.
He likes his chair, but rarely uses it as a chair. I more often see him pushing against it like a football player practicing blocking. But he wouldn't do it with the camera out.
He also likes his spools. They're all over the place, but they're just right for his little hands. So we're making a collection.

Tuesday: today
Today had its ups and downs. I couldn't find several things that I wanted to use (although to be fair, they weren't really very important things). Isaac seemed to be feeling weird. Bible study was canceled.
But...it snowed most of the day. Isaac slept a lot. I got some quilting done.
Hmm. I thought this would be a more exciting post. But really, it is pretty boring. It's my half birthday today. I think I'll try to take some pictures tomorrow to post.

Monday: falling
Isaac is still walking, but hasn't learned how to fall well. He often falls backwards but forgets to bend at the waist, so he bonks his head.
We've managed to limit it to about once a day, but it is still really sad each time it happens. The only good thing is that I get some great hugs afterwards, but I'd rather forgo them.
