Tuesday: annoying

Today was rather annoying, but I feel as though I just need to get over it.

Monday - A

Driving back and forth to where ever we're going Isaac does a lot of imitating what we say...the alphabet, do-be-do-be-do, numbers, etc.  I realized that this could also be a good time to start learning Bible verses.  Sure, he can't even do the alphabet yet, but it is a good time to start the habit.

So may we present A.

Friday: puzzles

Today we were trying to clean up the house as guests are coming tonight. The problem was that for every two things I put away, Isaac took one out. At one point he wanted to take out a puzzle (that I had just put away) and I said it was ok as long as he put them away. He agreed.

Fast forward several hours and three puzzles later. He still hasn't put his puzzles away, and we're getting down to the line. So instead of putting the pieces away, he starts to put himself in timeout. Which works at first, but quickly becomes a game.

I threatened to put him to bed early. I would have down it, but he finally made progress. Phew.

Wednesday: OB appt

The baby is still alive! The heart rate was 154. It's a little sad that I don't have anything else to report, but that is part of the problem with growing something inside of you.

Well, I could report that we have an ultrasound on March 19. But even that isn't really news.

Tuesday: outfit

Isaac picked out his outfit today.



Light Pajama pants with moose, a small onesie with monkeys, and pirate socks. Not what I would have picked out since it was cold out and he doesn't wear onesies anymore, but since he brought all the right pieces to me he got to wear it.

Sunday: mountain climber

Isaac's main chore of the day was to bring all the water bottles up from the basement. He's recently been given freedom to do stairs by himself...I haven't been worried about him near stairs for a while, but lately have let him do them without any supervision.

Isaac could bring up about one bottle at a time. We had about 20 bottles downstairs...yeah, they kind of collect down there. But he did an awesome job and was always so excited to go get one more. :) and I think we tired him out pretty well.

P.S. we still have the gate up more as crowd control than anything else. He chased Flurry downstairs on Friday and she really needs a safe place.

Saturday: a first

I snow blowed the driveway for the first time today! I started the snowblower (which hasn't gone well in the past) and removed all of about 3/4" from the driveway. Yeah, that wasn't really worth using the snowblower, but it was nice to get some practice in while Ben was around in case something went wrong.
