Thursday: sharing

Isaac got two small bars of chocolate today at school; I think it was someone's birthday.  All the kids were rather excited about them.  Err...very excited.  Anyway, at school I said he could eat them at home and he said I could have one too!  I said I'd be happy to share, but that he didn't have to.  It seemed to make him pretty happy to say he was going to share, so I went with it.

At home he got them out and unwrapped one.  Then he remembered that he was going to give me one too.  He unwrapped it for me and we sat down to eat our chocolate.  However, I only got to eat about half of mine because he kept wanting to share it.  (To be fair though, he offered me some of his after he had eaten all of mine.)

It was cute.  Trying so hard to share and not quite getting it.

Wednesday: scooting

Isaac took his scooter outside for just a bit today.

Such form!

Joshua and I watched from inside...it was a bit too windy and cool.  He wanted to show you his jingle ball.  And mohawk.  It always stands up.

Tuesday: dinner

I realized at 4:10 today that I needed to deal with dinner.  Again.  It happens every day, yet I'm surprised by it at least once a week.

We had spaghetti.  But it was with rotini because we were out of spaghetti.  So was it really spaghetti?

Monday: 37 weeks

Joshua turned 37 weeks old today.  It marks the first time I put him down for his picture and he immediately rolled over.  After I put him back on his back he stayed there for a few minutes though.

 He really likes sweet potatoes.  They have been eaten really well the last few days.  Pears were refused.

 And he's rolling more.  Have I mentioned that?  I can't remember.

My current goal is to have Isaac wake up in the morning, go to the bathroom and then get himself dressed.  We have the first two down.  He can't quite remember that he needs to get dressed next, and even after I tell him it usually takes about a half hour.

And we end up with silly outfits like this.  I'm pushing getting the underwear and pants on correctly, so gave up at the shirt.

Sunday: Furious 7

Ben and I went to see Furious 7 today.  It was fun - there were many unbelievable things, but, as Ben said, if you pretended they were superheroes it all worked a bit better.

It was nice to do something just a bit different today.

Saturday: things

Let's see...

This morning Isaac came into our bedroom with a game.  Ben and I were both going to play it with him.  He got it set up.

I: The people climbs the ladder, sits down for the whee, stands up, sits down for the whee.  You do it!
B: ok, there's two slides?
I: No, there's three.
B: Where's the third?
I: Right here. [Points to the red piece, lower middle]
A: Who slides down it?
I:  Nothing.  It's a support.
I: Mama, you do it!
A: He climbs the ladder, sits down, slides down, stands up, sits down for the slide.
I: Dad, your turn.
B: He climbs the ladder, sits down for the slide, then does the next slide.
I: No.  You did it wrong.

Note - Ben never did get it correct.

************************************************************************
Joshua ate so much better today.  And napped well too.  I'm hoping it is the start of a new trend.  Also, he really likes to bounce.
 

And Joshua is getting big enough for his rocking ship!

Friday: forgot

I kind of forgot to blog today.  I had some pictures and video taken of random things, but now it's getting late and I don't feel like dealing with them.  So instead I'll leave you with a conversation.

Isaac, looking at a map: We should go see the airplane!  And that thing [the blimp]!  But not that.
Amanda: The compass rose?  Well, we can't.  It's not really there.
Isaac, ignoring me: It's too sharp.
