Monday: more vacation
Today was another relaxing day. We played in the pool, went to a nice playground, and ate good food.

Saturday: ultimate Pi day
We had a lovely relaxing day today.
Isaac's curls started to come back. I thought he had lost them. I have a picture on my phone...but am currently on the ipad. The camera pictures can't be uploaded because I don't have an adapter anymore, but will have a picture post at the end.
We walked around the marina several times. Isaac had fun exploring all the new toys.
We went in the pool later in the afternoon and Isaac loved it. He had a life jacket and swimmies on and could do a sort of standing up dog paddle all by himself. So we did some practice with what would happen if he tipped backwards. Then let him go in the pool by himself to get some ducks from the other side and bring him back to the hot tub. (He had very close supervision.) After several times he was getting more comfortable and even found that he could go around in circles. The funniest thing was that every time he was about to get the pool he first sat on the side for a bit and waited for the "EEs" (monkeys) to come over from far away and come in with him.
Joshua enjoyed the pool, but only as long as he didn't get too wet. He looked super cool in the stroller with his sunglasses and hat. He took a good afternoon nap, finally. (Last night was a bit rough.)
I celebrated Pi day (3/14/15) at 9:26pm by eating a cupcake...it was circular. And delicious. I think I ate a few too many treats today, but they were good!

Friday: wisdom of Solomon
Today both boys wore Mickey Mouse shirts. Isaac's is just the body (such that his head is where Mickey's head would be) and Joshua just had Mickey's head.
I was telling a whole clothing story to Ben that was not really very coherent and he says, "Yeah, I got a bit distracted thinking about Mickey and King Solomon." I couldn't help but laugh.
Also, we left on vacation today. Travel went really well. Isaac was really excited about going under bridges on the way to the airport. He was also excited about going on an airplane. I'm not sure that he realizes that he should really be excited about being on vacation. Joshua barely slept at all today, but was in good spirits. He enjoyed laughing at a boy on the airplane that was making funny faces at him.

Thursday: the ending and milestones
I remembered the ending to yesterday's conversation...
A: Ethan?
I: Yeah! Ethan!! My hands really want to go to Ethan's house.
Isaac's hands are really fond of going to Ethan's house. This isn't the first time Isaac has said such a thing, and I don't really understand it at all.
*********
Joshua's milestone today was that he learned to make the "M" sound, so he is saying my name now! Not on purpose, but it is still fun.
*********
Isaac's milestone is that he actually kept his eyes closed through the bedtime prayer. We haven't really pushed keeping one's eyes closed in the past because it just seemed too hard and, oddly, too distracting.

Wednesday: a conversation
I: pick two names
A: mom
I: pick one more
A: dad
I: no
A: Amanda
I: no
A: Joshua
I: no
A: Isaac
I: no. Only pick one!
Hmm...I thought this had a better ending but I forgot it. Doesn't help that it's 2am and I'm holding a child that is resisting sleep. The moral of this story is "don't flip over a baby to put the pacifier in"

Tuesday: pajama day
It was pajama day at school today.
Thursday is "what you want to be when you grow up day." So far Isaac has answered "bigger", "house builder", and "small tree builder". I don't have very good dress up clothes for those...we'll see if we participate. Joshua always wants to do the same thing that Isaac does.

Monday: 32 weeks
Joshua is 32 weeks old!
He's still rolling over a lot in his sleep, and yesterday and today I've finally seen him roll over a few times while awake. While it wasn't a huge concern, I was a bit worried about it and glad that he's rolling over.
Ben was going in the basement and Isaac wanted to be carried too.
Joshua got his first cart-seat ride today. I like it a lot better, but convincing Isaac that he has to walk might not always work. Once it gets a little warmer out Isaac could ride in the back of the cart. We'll see how it goes.
