Cute kids get more Candy!!

Posted on by

Yesterday was Isaac’s first official Trick-or-Treat adventure.  I think he had a good time and he provided his mom and dad with a good stash of candy! 

We got our first group of trick-or-treaters before we left and when Isaac saw them knock on the door, say trick-or-treat, and get candy.  He said ‘Isaac, me’ and pointed to himself in order to indicate that he’d like to say trick-or-treat and get candy.

In a non-scientific study based on taking Isaac trick-or-treating one time, I have determined that cute kids get more candy!  Several people remarked on how cute he was and gave him handfuls of candy instead of the requisite one piece.

At one of the last houses we went to, he noticed some big jack-o-lanterns and grabbed my leg.  I picked him up and he clung to me tightly and wouldn’t let me put him down.  The next house had jack-o-lanterns as well and he refused to go near the door.  From that point on we couldn’t go to any houses that had jack-o-lanterns at them.

A Kind-Hearted Boy

Posted on by

Isaac has developed this nurturing side lately. He regularly puts stuffed animals and dolls to bed. sometimes in his own bed other times he sets up a bed in the livingroom with a pillow and a blanket. Today he was playing with his trucks next to Jack when he noticed that Jack was falling to sleep. He ran to his room and retrieved his ‘duck blanket’ and layed it gently on the cat! If you haven’t already guessed from the picture, Jack is our cat.

There is such a thing as too much sunscreen!

I thought I could take a few minuets to type something on the computer.  I knew there was trouble when I heard both children laughing in the other room.  I came out to find that Isaac had raided the diaper bag and was smearing sunblock all over the floor and Charlotte was helping him!  If you want to see more of this mayhem, then check out our flickr pictures (found on the left hand side of this page.

Isaac wants a Train!

Posted on by

Lately Isaac has been fascinated by trains. He has loved trucks for awhile so I guess trains were a natural expansion. It was probably about a month ago when I took him to the library for the first time. I was looking for books on cars and trucks and the librarian suggested one about trains. Isaac’s face lit up as I handed him the book to look at. When I went to check out the books he wouldn’t give it to me or trade with me for another book. He actually cried when I took it for two seconds to scan it! He carried that book around for days. Since then he’s been demonstrating his interest in several different ways. His favorite thing to build with his blocks is a train. Uncle Bryan gave him some pieces of life cereal for breakfast and Isaac pretended they were trains. He would drive little crumbs of cereal across the table saying ‘choo choo, chuga, chuga, chuga, choo choo.’ Last night at dinner he put his little toes up on the table (I know bad manners) and pretended that his toes were a train! He also lined up several of his trucks to make them into a train. Today he climbed up to my computer and started playing with the keyboard so I opened a word document. He typed a series of letters across the page, and then made train noises to indicate that the letters were now a train!

Charlotte Rose, Trend Setter

Don’t look too closely at this picture as I think I look rather bad, but it’s the only one I have that goes with this story. 

Charlotte fell asleep in my lap.  Isaac climbed up on the other side of my lap and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Then he opened his eyes and looked at Charlotte and tred to copy the way she was laying and her hand placement before closing his eyes again.

A Life of Excess–Toddler with Two Pacifiers

Posted on by

Last night Isaac woke up crying and I know he’s too old for a pacifier, but he’s so good at going to bed and down for a nap with one that I’ve been reluctant to break him of the habit.  Anyway, when I went in to check on him, he had lost his pacifier so I got him another one.  This morning when I opened his door, there he was with both pacifiers in his mouth!
