We had a birthday party Saturday afternoon at Gymboree for Beth in our play group. It's amazing to think that Isaac was one of the younger members of our playgroup when we joined and now he's getting to be in the older set. Crazy! Isaac skipped his nap so I was afraid he was going to be a BEAR. I was wrong: not the first time. We used to go to Gymboree classes last summer and stopped when he started preschool a couple mornings a week last fall. I wasn't sure how Isaac would react. The teachers remembered us and Isaac. He was much more attentive than he used to be in class--I think age, plus preschool has helped him. He actually sat and listened to instructions. I could not believe it. He loved playing on the equipment. We may consider a summer enrollment after school is over this spring.

As I reflect on our last week I realized Isaac has had a really good eating week. I mean, some weeks it's a fight to get him to eat anything nutritious. Maybe we've turned a corner here?? Not sure, but I'll take it! He ate half a pork chop tonight plus the baked beans and two pieces broccoli.

First Day of Spring Celebration

Isaac and I met Melissa, Ella and Nora at Rita's Frozen Custard Friday afternoon. They were celebrating the first day of spring with free italian ice. I'm not sure what's italian about the ice--it just has flavored sugar water on top. What's not to love? Isaac and Ella had cherry. He was stained in red dye the rest of the evening.

Memorial Park Playdate

Isaac and I went to meet up with some of our friends from church last week. We met at Memorial park. He loved eating the bread more than feeding the ducks/geese, however I didn't get any pics of that. We had a picnic lunch after playing for a couple of hours. It was a really chilly morning. Before we left the house at 10 I checked weather.com and it said sunny in Athens. The sun didn't come out until we were leaving at 12:30. Isaac didn't seem to mind the colder temps. that morning.

Isaac is going to be a peace maker/hospitality king. He always wants to make sure everyones' needs are met before his own. For example, he wanted to share his placemat with Thomas. Also this week Isaac shared his granola bar with his friend Sophie at the Y. I was told he gave her the "big piece and I keep the smaller one." He's really caring--like his father--I hope he stays that way.
