Isaiah is 50 months old
This past week (actually almost 3 weeks ago now!) Isaiah and I did our best to keep busy and pass the time until Daddy got home!
We enjoyed some great weather in the beginning of the week, which meant lots of fun time outside! This was definitely a good idea, according to Isaiah.
Monday we had friends over! I got a taste of what it will be like to care for a littler person with my Little Man, which means that my hands were way too busy to get any pictures of how sweet Isaiah was with our little friend. He also enjoyed playing with her big sister--thanks, Lydia!
Tuesday we had some math lessons. :) Yes, we talked about the wonderful exchange rate that enables us to buy an ice cream cone for $0.35!
Actually we had an amazingly fun breakthrough in communication this week while shopping at IKEA! Isaiah often shows interest in something for about, oh 30 seconds, and then moves on to the next thing. Well, this time he saw something that he liked, and he told me so...several times! I was so excited, so I have to share it with you, too.
He would wear the hat for a long time, give it to me, then ask for it again a few minutes later. He has never done this before. He communicated with words very clearly exactly what he wanted! Celebration!
Wednesday we went and visited some newer friends, which thrilled Isaiah--time outside traveling and playing with other little people! What could be better!
Thursday was cold and rainy, which altered our plans, but gave us some much needed rest and time to prepare for the best day of the week....
Daddy coming home!
So while "school" might have looked different this week, we actually had so much progress in Isaiah's verbal skills and communication that I could not be more thrilled.
Check out the other kids and their fun at 1+1+1=1.
There's nothing like the beginning of that clear communication. I'm so excited for you and for his achievement! Just yesterday C finally was able to clearly make his sister understand that he doesn't want her tickling him. (with words) I was so happy, he ussually justpushes her and screams. We have been working on expression through words. uit's hard buit when they start to get it it's amazing. SO, Congratulations.
