Chucky Cheese with Timo and Julia

August 13-August 19, 2007
Funny sentences is Spanish that Isaac has said this week while reading stories,”Quiere ir abajo del agua en un submarino y tocar el langosta” “Quiere tocar las langostas? Te van a pelliscar “el pulpo quiere comer pastel pero no comes la vela—es fuchi!”
Isaac’s favorite books of the week “Dora and the submarine” and “Ernie’s big mess” He loves the submarine book—especially the pictures of the big red lobsters. He can’t pronounce lobster very well and says “wobster” Pretty funny.
Levi got a big owie on his lip when he fell down on the sidewalk outside church on Sunday and it was taking forever to heal because the wound kept reopening. Finally we put some liquid bandaid on it and that definitely did the trick. It looks a million times better now.
Isaac likes to say “dame cariño” and “time for family snuggles.” It’s become a tradition now that we do family snuggles on the “thinking chair” (couch) and then do family prayer.
At the grocery store Isaac asked if we could go look at the “not today cakes” I thought that that was hilarious because he came up with that since James tells him “not today” when he asks for sweet stuff at the store.
Overhead from Isaac this week, “when you woke up you can do family snuggles” and after bonking his head on something “that smarts! He look I’m a Larry-go-round”
I took care of my friend Heather’s little 2 year old named Leandro for most of the week so I got a taste of what its like to have 3 boys. Luckily Leandro is pretty mellow. He loves eating lots of chicken nuggets and running around with a superman cape. He actually plays really well with Levi. They had a blast playing peek a boo in the little blue IKEA tunnel that we have.
Tim and Julia treated our family to a night at Chucky Cheese for their farewell party this week. It was very cool of them and the boys went crazy running around the mouse palace. Isaac made some mischief by carrying skee balls over to another game and clogging up the other system. Levi liked sitting on the air hockey table. Afterwards Isaac’s favorite part was setting his chucky cheese balloons free—right outside the door, he couldn’t wait for the rush of adrenaline he gets when he sees balloons float up into the sky.



August 20-26, 2007I was reading a story with Isaac and I asked him to look at a group of purple objects and find the thing you could sit on. I pointed to some grapes and asked of those were for sitting and he said, “no, those are for eating, “ then I pointed to a purple flower and he said, “no that’s for giving for momma” then I pointed to a chair and he said “yeah mom!” I thought that his flower commentary was really cute. He likes giving flowers to his momma.Levi toddles all over the place and is very vocal. He’s always making new sounds and has some very dynamic jabber going on. He says ball really well and he’s starting to make the sign language sign for milk.We went to Chucky Cheese for playgroup this week and Isaac was overjoyed with the opportunity to set a couple more balloons free. Isaac is obsessed with the word “bonk” this week. “He wants to bonk his head!”Levi is still Mr. kitchen scavenger. He absolutely loves finding pieces of food on the little blue table where Isaac eats.
