Tuesday: hair and video games

Here's the conversation I had with Isaac this morning:

"Isaac, don't pull mom's hair."
Isaac points to his hair.
"Good job, that's your hair!
You can pull your hair."
Isaac points to his hair.
"Good job!  That's your hair.
But you can't pull mom's."

I'm not sure that I got the point across very effectively.

*********************************************************************
Isaac found a new video game to play.

(It's the baby monitor.  The screen lights up when he pushes some buttons and there are several buttons to push.  It was THE game of the afternoon.)

Monday: Last night

Last night was a little rough.  Isaac's been fighting a runny nose for a while now, and last night it just seemed to get the better of him.

Of course, I had a hard time falling to sleep in between.  And then I was almost asleep and I smelled something burning.  Instantly I was awake, and decided that nothing was burning...I had just had a dream smell.  But that was another 20 minutes before I could get to sleep again...periodically smelling the air, making sure that nothing was burning.  (Does anyone else ever have that?  It has happened to me a few times now...and it sure seems real.)

And the conversation of the day:
Amanda: "Isaac, your tag is sticking out of your pants."
Isaac: "WWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"
Isaac runs to Amanda for a hug.

Hi

Autumn and I say hi from outside the nursery door. It turns out that I have no apps for kids on my phone right now, but she is enjoying watching me type. What else shall we talk about right now? The wall we are looking at is purple. Autumn thinks the wall is blue. Her boots are pink, but she thinks they're green.

Friday: children's musuem

Today Isaac and I went with Dad and Landon to the children's museum in GR.  We had fun. :)  Isaac might still be a little young to get how to play with the stuff (correctly), but he's old enough to enjoy being in a new environment.  And he loved being able to walk around!  He kept walking in and out of a tree house that they had on the second floor.


Making a bridge out of Lincoln logs for the train.

Playing with what are basically giant building blocks.

Looking in a square mirror.

Balls!  This is the one that Isaac played with the best.

Thursday: uncles

Today we ended up with all of Ben's siblings and there was a big nerf gun war going on.  Well, as big of a war as you can get with two nerf guns and some babies running around.  Anyway, Travis was trying to get Jacob.  Ben got the gun from Travis.  Travis ran out into the open.  Jacob came out from his hiding place, and started aiming.

POW.

Ben got him in the shoulder.  The look on his face was hilarious since he completely wasn't expecting it.

The moral of the story: you've got to watch out for your uncles.

Wednesday: spring break

After never expecting a true spring break again, I'm happy to announce that I'm on spring break.  I had a class this morning...I'm sitting in on a class that I'm going to teach next semester on Excel and Access.  There's some stuff that I don't know, but nothing that I can't pick up.  And I'm really sitting in on the class just a few times to see how it is run.

I also had my Wednesday section of CAD this afternoon.  There's only 10 people, compared to Tuesday's 22, so it always feels a more laid back.

Isaac is still walking by himself all over the place.  We went to the library and he realized that he could bounce the metal bookends and that they would make a clanging noise.  After that I basically just skimmed for a few books that looked ok as I followed him around, trying to muffle the noise.

Tuesday: baby-adult

Kitty-cat.
Puppy-dog.
Bunny-rabbit.


Ok, I'm going to admit, this post suddenly derailed.  I was going to say how weird it is that so many animals are called by their baby-adult names, but you never hear of a baby-adult (for humans).  But then I could only think of three examples so maybe it isn't so weird that you never hear of baby-adults.
