Random Tidbits Throughout the Week

Well, I've slacked off a bit this week on my Daily Noodle, sorry about that.   It's been a fairly busy week.  Busy with the everyday stuff like dance class, library, swimming, playgroup, playdates, errands, etc.  So today, Isaac and I are taking it easy.  He has come down with a cold and is keeping himself occupied with more foam stickers.  I am going to catch up on laundry-exciting!

Isaac: 

• tried the kick board in swimming class and didn't sink-yeah! 
• helped out at home by putting away laundry, sorting recycling, and setting the table
• built sand castles at the park.
• decided that he did not want or need a middle name.  Instead, he will answer to "Little Provie" in recognition of his taste for provolone cheese.
• has finally gotten the hang of #2!  It's been a wonderful week of no accidents!  

While a neighbor boy was over to play, I listened at Isaac's door and overheard, "Lorelai's room is too girly.  My room is...just right."   :)


Lorelai: 

• has been able to play with some of her school friends this week both at the park and at our house.  She was so excited to give them a "tour" of our home.  Lore is a nice little hostess.
• worked on combining her kicks and arm strokes to swim with only the aid of a life vest during swimming lessons. 
• has been entertaining us with songs she's learned in music class.
• continues to write books and fill pages with pictures.  She is always asking how to spell new words.
• was thrilled to receive her very first birthday invitation from a friend at school!  He invited the whole class and the party will be at an indoor jungle-gym type place.  She can't wait!

This weekend starts a few days of celebrating Halloween!  There's trick-or-treating at one of the grocery stores tonight, a party at a friend's house tomorrow afternoon, and Trick-or-Treating on Monday night.  Lorelai will also be having a party at school on Monday.  I need to finish the tail for her cat costume.
