So I let him draw on the backs of envelopes. Maybe you'll be a lucky winner! He wrote his first I's (unprompted). He tried an S on one enevelope but it didn't turn out so well. After a scribble on the back of another it was time to be done.

Saturday: I's
A few days ago we started our Christmas cards. Isaac's job was to seal the envelopes, but he got sick of that pretty quickly.

Friday: snow!
So here's the picture of all of us from yesterday. I love Joshua's expression.
Since it snowed we decided not to do our planned errands today. they could wait and the roads weren't great. So we played a lot of baby marbles.
By the end of the day Isaac decided that he really wanted to go outside. So armed with some beach toys he went on the deck. I was a little afraid he'd come right back in, but he stayed out there for a good 30 minutes.

Thursday: isaac quotes
Ben stayed home today. He has plenty of vacation time, so once in a while takes off random days. It's been fun. I got a wonderful nap. And it snowed out! Our deck has a small inch of snow. And WOW came out. It is currently very laggy, but during the day it was nice. I was going to show you a picture from today, but due to a slightly silly computer I'd have to leave the game and I wouldn't get back in before bedtime.
****************************
Ben put up a pillow between the couch and the table and then told Isaac he'd need to duck under the bridge. Isaac went under it, saying "quack quack" the whole time.
Isaac has had a very small scratch on his forehead for a few days; I think he scratched himself while sleeping but didn't notice it. He noticed it after his nap and told Ben (and then me) that he needed to go to the doctor's office. He said this with his very serious and sad face.
Ben asked Isaac what his favorite number was. "i" replied Isaac. We laughed. Ben asked what his second favorite number was. "e" replied Isaac. Ahh...we have a smart son.

Wednesday: 15 weeks/friend
Joshua is 15 weeks old!
His neck control is getting much better...we've started to use the Bumbo in short spurts.
Isaac likes playing in the empty cabinet. He was smiling for this picture, even though it looks like he's in the middle of a tantrum. He just doesn't get how to smile nicely.
We had a friend over for a lot of the day too. Babysitting has gotten so much easier now that Isaac is a bit older. I don't feel like I need to play with the children for hours on end and deal with a small child. That isn't to say that I didn't play with them, but I didn't have to do it all the time. They actually played quite well together after the first hour, so that was fun to watch. It was especially fun to listen to their conversation. Neither can speak all that well (although it did show me how far Isaac has come in the last year). Isaac did a great job sharing and wanted his friend to sit right next to him while watching Wall-E.
I also managed to save the cat by telling them they had to go on the couch to see her. (The words in the video, since it's hard to understand, are "meow, meow, meow, meow..."

Tuesday: neighbors
We had our new neighbors over for dessert and games this evening. It was nice to meet them.
Monday: weird day
Today was a weird day.
Isaac put himself to bed at 11:45 for his nap. He closed the curtains, turned on his little light, put some duplos in his bed, and went to sleep.
Joshua had of course slept well during the morning and so wasn't very tired. Just as I decided he was ready to go down for a nap the doorbell rang (seriously, it was about 30 seconds after). The dishwasher repairmen were here...they were supposed to be here before 12pm so that it didn't interfer with naps. Of course, just as they were leaving Isaac woke up. I think the door woke him up. I put a movie on for him and tried to take a nap but Joshua kept waking up too. Sigh. This also made Isaac's lunch all messed up. I was eating some brocolli and cauliflower so Isaac ate a bunch of that and grazed for the afternoon.
We also made spice bars. I let Isaac lick the beater for the first time.

I also couldn't remember anything all day. It was a bit of a problem and resulted in Isaac wearing a kilt for a few hours. Sadly, I don't have a picture of it.
And our daily picture.

Sunday: made it again
Phew...made it through another day. I found myself getting so frustrated trying to get to church. Isaac would get stuck (on nothing). It's a problem when I'm done for the day and it's only 9am. But luckily there was church, Dad came over to babysit, and Isaac played well the rest of the day. So we survived.
