Sunday: Isaac speak - video game edition

If Isaac wants to play a computer game, he asks for it by name.  However, the names aren't very conventional...

Up game: a flash game where you play soccer
Down game: a flash game like whack-a-mole
Boring game: I forget the name of the class of games, but basically it's only numbers on the screen.  One that you do a little bit and then have to wait for a while before you can do anything else.
Time Clickers: this is the only one he gets right.
Stair game: Diablo 3 (no, he doesn't get to play or watch very much.)
Farm game: World of Warcraft
New Farm game: Brawler's guild in World of Warcraft

Saturday: outside

It was a beautiful day today.  Isaac took advantage of it to its fullest.  Part of it might have been his shirt; it gets color on it outside but is only black and white inside.

He started by riding his bike on the deck, followed by breakfast.  (We hadn't gotten any chairs out yet.)

Ben left mid-morning for the day and Aunt C came over.  I needed to get a lot of cleaning done as people are coming over tomorrow and the house has been a disaster all week.  They, along with Joshua, went outside and an hour later the house looked so much better.

Isaac also convinced me to have dinner on the deck, but it was rather short lived.  It was windy and since we were sitting in the shade not all that warm.  He did go back out a bit after dinner to ride his truck though.

Then it was bath time.  Joshua has been getting baths in the normal tub, but he freaked out today.  Wowzers.  So his bath was all of about thirty seconds.  Maybe we'll go back to the infant tub for a bit longer.

Friday: green alarm clock

Joshua has been waking up rather early the last few days.  He's been waking up earlier and earlier ever since he was born.  I know, 6:30 isn't that early.  But it feels so early.  However, if he does it again this weekend his schedule is going to change; I'm not going to get up to feed him in the middle of the night and wake up early with him.

Anyway, I probably said something to Isaac about getting up too early with Joshua, who realized that the problem was that Joshua didn't have a green alarm clock.  (Isaac's turns green when he can get out of bed.)  A little bit later he said, "We should call grandma and see if she has a little green car for Joshua."  What?  Um, ok.  "Which Grandma?"  "Grandma Pat."

So we did.  It took me most of the conversation to realize that he wasn't saying car, he was saying clock.  And that we had called the wrong grandma as Grandma Cheryl had gotten the alarm clock for Isaac as a Christmas present.

That little boy sure is putting a lot of pieces of information together though!

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.
