Friday- Sunday: cottage
This weekend we went up to Dad and Pat's cottage. Isaac experienced so many new things! Sparklers, paddle boats, marshmallows, corn on the cob, bottle rockets, new toys, and a 360 swing. It was a very nice weekend.

Thursday: one more
Isaac seems to have picked up "one more" from some where...probably from me. He holds up one finger while doing it. I take this to mean that he can count to one, but again, he's probably just copying me.
This morning he kept telling me a story, clapping, and saying one more. He would proceed to tell the story, in very soft but audible tones, clap, and again say "one more". I know it was a story because I clapped before it was finished once and he just looked at me with a confused look...we weren't at the end of the story, so why was I clapping?
Then we were at the park late this morning and he decided that he can go down the slides by himself if he goes on his stomach and feet first. (I've been trying to get him to go down by himself for a while. This was also the first time that I didn't actually have to physically slide down with him but could just hold his hands.) He would get to the bottom and as he was climbing the stairs he would say "one more."

Wednesday: interacting
We had some friends over for dinner tonight. It's always fun to see them. Then we went on a walk to wear the boys out. (Their son is about the same age as Isaac.) It was really fun to watch them interact...they uh-oh-ed to each other and ran together. The other boy tried tickling Isaac to no avail, but Isaac had earlier tried being the follower in follow-the-leader and that didn't really work out either.
Both boys walked most of the way around the lake, so it was probably just shy of a mile. Or maybe a bit over a mile by the time you account for all of the zig-zagging that they did.

Tuesday: today
Early, early this morning Nathan and Liz left. :( We had an excellent day with them yesterday too and it is always sad to separate. But Christmas isn't really that far away.
The rest of the day Isaac and I hung out...we took a walk to Joann's to get a spool of thread. It seemed like kind of a long walk for a tiny item, but Isaac likes strollering and I should walk more. We cleaned up a little bit, took a nap, played, and just did the normal stuff.
We had dinner with Ben's family which was nice as always. Sometimes I feel like Isaac is interacting with them more, and sometimes he's completely oblivious. Like when his cousin gave him a good-bye hug...he just kept looking at something on the back of a car.
edit: Isaac also ate more pizza than his grandpa. He was putting it away!

Sunday
Today was a very nice day with Nathan and Liz (and Dad and Pat). In the afternoon we went for frozen yogurt and took a walk around Hope, marveling at how many things have changed.

Friday: yesterday
I finished my puzzle two days ago. I decided not to do the borders because 1) they were boring white and would have been difficult and 2) my table wasn't quite big enough. Isaac helped me take it apart and he was really good at that part. :)
Today kind of felt like it dragged a little bit. One reason might be that Ben gave me my birthday present early and I was excited to use it tonight. He got me a pair of cordless headphones. I've had such trouble lately with my corded ones...they keep tangling in the chair as I go back and forth between the sewing machine and iron. And so far they've been awesome!
