We're home.
Ben and I were rather sick today though. I'm not really sure what I have...there's a little cough, but mainly just tired in a sick way. Luckily, the boys behaved themselves pretty well and we made it through the day. I even got several pieces of luggage unpacked and the wash done.
We were both feeling better after dinner; we'll see what tomorrow brings.
My interesting thought of the day: we have two of those tubs that you get to bring home from the hospital. Isaac uses one in the tub, and the other one might be the throw-up bucket since the throw-up cup is lost. (I know. How does one lose a throw-up cup?) Anyway, at one point Isaac was worried that the throw-up bucket was the one he uses in the tub. So today I thought we could put the acronym on the throw-up bucket to differentiate between them: T.U.B. Oh...that doesn't help as much as I was hoping.

Friday: laughs
On the way to the airport Joshua was in an incredibly happy mood. I managed to get more laughs out of our serious little guy than I ever have.

Tuesday: legoland
We went to LegoLand today! Overall, it was quite fun. There were enough rides that Isaac could go on. And he enjoyed going on them...he even went on the scary one twice so grandma could go on it too.
However, it was rather hot by the end. Isaac also is a bit sick, but he was a trooper. And Joshua...well, he put up with the whole day.
On safari. We got to ride in a zebra car just like the one he has.
Many of the rides had areas where the kids could play while the adults wait in line.
He had three bowls of fruit loops for breakfast. He's never had them before...and I expect it will continue to be a special treat.
We took lots of pictures, so more to come later! (My phone was having problems with the pictures I took on it, which is why there may be captions with no pictures.)
I also got to see a high school friend for dinner. It was very nice to catch up.

Monday: more vacation
Today was another relaxing day. We played in the pool, went to a nice playground, and ate good food.
We're now on our way to legoland.
Joshua fell asleep.
Isaac enjoyed the manga doodle. He enjoyed making faucets and we washed our hands a lot.

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.
