Today was the last day of swimming lessons. I think that they were really good for us...Isaac seems more comfortable in the water and I know some things to do with him. Now we just need to keep getting in the water periodically. It might be a little easier to do since he always takes a nap afterwards...there are some days that I just really want him to take a nap. :)
I was going to go grocery shopping today but didn't. I've been meaning to go all week. We'll go (for sure (probably)) tomorrow.
We went over to Dad and Pat's for dinner. That was a lot of fun. Isaac was cute and played well with us and the toys.

Wednesday.
While reviewing the day in my mind, I found that there wasn't any one thing that stood out today. It was a good day...weeding and then going downtown with Cheryl and fun times with Isaac.
So I'll leave you with a link about American English linguistic/pronunciation differences that I found really interesting. If you choose to look at it, you may be interested in knowing that I fit into most of maps except as follows:
*Crayon (I say "cran", which would be the green color)
*Pecan (I say "Pick-ann", which would be blue)
*And I say "drinking fountain" and "water fountain" equally, not the deep blue of West Michigan
I'm a little sad that I didn't see one about basketball hoops, but maybe it is in the other maps that have been made. I can't get the link on the bottom of the page to work.

Tuesday: talking
What do you say after you "accidently" throw your toy off the changing table?
And the animal sounds...they didn't all come out great, but they're all there. There isn't really anything to see in this one.
edit: the first video didn't stay in for some reason. I'm not sure why. But it's there now...hopefully.

Monday: today
Nothing special happened today, so I thought I'd go through a fairly normal day.
Isaac woke up at 5:30am. Well, that's not normal. But I think he is teething. We went back to sleep on the couch, although I had a hard time getting back to sleep. We reawoke at 7:10, a much better time to wake up. We helped Ben wake up.
I did some chores and Isaac played for a while. He then decided he wanted to go outside so that he could drink from a water bottle. I thought it would be too cold, but in the sun it was pretty nice. He played with the water and his rocks for a bit. Then I gave him some ice cubes to play with outside. Those were fun too! Until he wanted to bring them inside. That caused a meltdown that lessened but didn't really go away for the next fifteen minutes. Obviously, it was nap time.
He woke up too early, and ended up finishing his nap with me on the couch again. Good thing we have a comfy couch.
Our outing today was to get some flowers and veggies. I was going to just get a tomato plant. I ended up with some green peppers too. (BTW, I have some extra seedlings if anyone is interested.) I also got some perennials - coneflowers and something else. We also stopped at the hardware store to get some stuff to hang a quilt.
At home we watched Curious George, planted our veggies, and did some quilting/I-pad. It's been a little hard to get some good quilting time in lately as Isaac often wants me to join him in whatever he's doing. I suppose I should be happy he wants me around, but let's face it...the i-pad games that he plays over and over or the movie that he's seen a gazillion times are kind of boring.
Moving on...time to make dinner. We had chicken Parmesan. Isaac wanted to drink out of a water bottle and since we were inside I didn't give him free rein which caused quite a bit of sadness. Luckily Ben came home soon after that. Ben's arrival often changes the dynamic of the house (in a good way). It's actually rather surprising how much it can change just by having him come in the door. We watched MythBusters with dinner. Isaac ate everything but the spaghetti.
After dinner I did a little bit of quilting and then put Isaac to bed. I played some Warcraft (faction grinding for pets), helped Ben in Warcraft (that part was stressful, but we won!), and did some fabric cutting. I'm currently listening to a book about President Garfield. I should have started to get ready for bed about 25 minutes ago, but instead I didn't. :) Getting ready for bed can be so annoying.
Good night!

Sunday: playing with food
Isaac was really excited about eating his lunch today. I gave him several things that he likes to eat. But then, about half way through his beans he decided it would be more fun to put them in and out of the container they were in. So I took away the container. That didn't phase him...he just put them on top of his sippy cup and the shook them off. Repeatedly.

Saturday: playing
Tonight Isaac spent some time on the deck.
He rocked some rocks.
And played with the water bottle and rocks for about thirty minutes. Why am I trying to get "real" toys again??

Friday: garage sales
Our neighborhood is having a garage sale this weekend, so Isaac and went to see what there was. At one house we got a rocking fish and two rocks Isaac picked up off the ground. I'm pretty sure the rocks were the most exciting purchase for Isaac.
