What a cute little girl...

Grrrr... I know he has long hair, I realize most little boys do not, but Isaac looks like a boy, we dress him very boyishly. Still, no matter what, everytime we go out I hear at least once, usually several times, "Oh what a sweet little girl you have..."

So here are some pics of Isaac's hair...

His crazy parts in the back, and beautiful flip at the bottom

Sam and I ask Isaac regularly if he likes his long hair, and he says, "Yes, Iss have long hair" We show him that mama has long hair and papa has short hair, and he will again say he (Iss) has long hair, so I think he understands what we are saying and asking him. He did cut his bangs the other day. Just a little :~) He had some kids scissors and said he was going to cut his hair and Sam asked me if I thought they would work, and I said, "No, they're just kids scissors, they'll probably just bend his hair..." Wrong, lol. But the way he did it, it actually flows quite nicely with the rest of his hair as you can see in the pic above.

Isaac's got wormies

Isaac has developed a new passion in life...worms. Every morning he wakes up and with in a few minutes he is asking to, "Go outside, get worms?" He loves them! The dog has a blanket that is on the ground which makes for prime worm finding. At first most of the worms didn't make it back to the ground (well not alive anyway), but now we are trying to work with Isaac about letting them back into the ground to help the garden.

I should also add that this is an all day thing, he finds some worms, he holds them, then I put them out in the garden and then he wants to find more worms and on it goes ;~)

Alpaca tour

Our unschooling group (cuke) group did a tour of alpaca farm...

The kids running in the driveway, I don't have any pics of Isaac and the pacas cause he slept the whole ride up and then was very grumpy and uninterested in anything to do with them. I wish he hadn't slept cause I think he would have really liked giving them "kisses" (You just stand at the fence and they will come to you and press their noses on you)

At Jamie's after for lunch and play, Isaac and Zoe using the force...

And then playing a duet...so sweet

Counting

Isaac has been counting a lot lately. he counts everything, his fingers things he sees, everything.
Right now he's numbers go in this order, 1 2 3 9 6 4 always in that order. Yesterday and today he has started to throw 11 in there after 4.
It's so neat to hear him count all on his own, I've never pushed him or tried to get him to do it, he just wants to.

Just letting him learn on his own as he goes. Sometimes I ask him if he wants me to count with him and he usually says, "yes". And he waits and listens to the order of my numbers. It's really neat to know that he's learning this because he wants to, not because I'm trying to get him learn it.

Dinosaur egg

Sam found a dinosaur egg at Micheal's that you put in water and it hatches over a few days. Isaac loved this, it was very exciting to check on it first thing in the morning and through out the day. Of course it's tough to be patient when you see a little dinosaur peeking out at you.

I have to say for the dollar it was, this was a great little toy. The dinosaur is actually quite sturdy. We did this experiment a while ago and this little dino is still around and in one piece.

Our last snow storm

At least it better be!

Isaac and Papa raking the roof


Isaac asked me to take this picture, I'm standing under a bowing birch tree



Along the edge of our back yard

Isaac shoveling.

Oh and I have to add two more, these were taken a while ago, but are just too funny

Since my child can not resist a good shoveling session, as soon as he sees Papa go out to bring in Deanie, he's rushing to get his boots on. Just his boots other clothes are optional.;~)

Air plane tours

For our CUKE co-op this week we had the awesome opportunity to visit Wiggins Airways. The kids got to go on and explore real airplanes!! You can't beat this, the kids and the adults LOVED it! The kids got to go on the planes look through them, and sit up in the cock pits and look at all the controls. Thanks Winnie, this was so cool.

Isaac is sitting with me right now pointing at the planes and making sound effects, he loved this.
