Wednesday: raking

We raked today after Isaac got home.  The kids enjoyed playing in the leaves for quite a while.  

...I hope that the yard waste people are still picking up yard waste for a while.  Our leaves just started dropping, which is a bit late, and our neighbors have some maples that always seem to drop about a month after everything else is done. 

Tuesday: tired

I'm tired.

I do have this cute picture from yesterday.  It was the first time I let Joshua ride in the back of the cart and he was rather thrilled.

Sunday: a first

Joshua put his socks on for the first time.

Saturday: does it eat people?

During dinner, we watched a show about the ocean.  It's a multi-episode show and we were on the second part...animals that live at the sea floor.

Every time we saw a new species Joshua would ask the following: "does it eat people?"

No where has the show said that sharks eat people, and we even have said several times that sharks usually don't eat people.  Yet no matter how big or small the creature was, Joshua wanted to know if it ate people.

Let's be honest.  They would probably all eat dead people.  But I wasn't going to bring that point up to a three year old.

39 & 70 months

Joshua turned 39 months old.

He has some interesting vocabulary.  School (as in daycare) is always school days.  "I learned the letter R at school days."  Conveyor belt is convader belt (as in Darth Vader).  Suction cups are construction cups.  Any vehicle with lights is a construction worker.

He likes to read "cool books" and "silly books."  (This request through the librarian for a bit of a loop. :D)  His current favorites are Mr. Wuffles and Mother Bruce, but I'm sure they'll change once those two go back to the library.

When Joshua grows up, he wants to work by Ben.  (There were almost tears one day when he thought he wouldn't be able to do that due to a miscommunication.)

Isaac is 70 months old.

He is starting to sound out words.

When Isaac grows up he wants to help people.  Like being a policeman, doctor, or fireman.  But mostly a fireman right now.

Thursday: robot quilt

Wednesday: overheard

Joshua and I were in the indoor playground after music class.  I overheard the following conversation between a mother and son...

"There are too many kids in here for you to kick."

Of course, she meant to finish the sentence with "the ball," but she didn't actually say it.

**********
Joshua and I had to pick up some stuff from Isaac's school today.  I was a bit sad that I wouldn't actually get to see him, but it isn't a big deal.  But then his teacher was suddenly saying, "Isaac!  Where is he?  Look who's here!"  They were going to music class and we happened to pass in the hallway.  Isaac came up to me and said hi, and I felt a bit like a celebrity as all the kids that passed us said hi.
