Update on us

So, I guess we've been pretty busy at the Thompson house. Isabella started Mother's day out this week. I was so excited to get Isabella in because she so desperately needs to socialize with other children with other caretakers. I figured a couple of hours twice a week without me, Peter, and my mom wouldn't hurt her. She of course threw a screaming fit when mom dropped her off Tuesday and when Peter dropped her off today. But when they picked her up she was playing and didn't really want to leave. That is such a huge step for her! I'm hoping this will help her realize that she's in a safe place and that everything is going to be ok when we're not around. She made me a Valentine card today. Melted my heart! Of course anything she "makes" for me is so special since it's her first at this kind of thing. She's 19 months old now and weighs 2o pounds. She's tall and I'm having to buy her 2t clothes to fit her length. She must get that from her daddy. Isabella loves playing with her daddy lately. She insists that he push a stroller right beside her while she's pushing hers. It's halarious to watch! She gets so mad when he quits pushing his stroller and cries until he starts again. I had to get pictures of it. You know his back was killing him! I decided to give him a break so we take turns now going round and round the house. I counted 50 times around the house once!





Isabella loves pancakes, but she decided to grab the frozen box out of the freezer and start munching. She took a bite out of every single one and then threw them on the floor. I guess to save the rest for later? I put them back in the box for another day. Go figure.



So, all you Karen Kingsbury lovers, I am almost done with the "R" series. I'm on book 5 out of 5. They are so good! I love the Baxter family! I can't wait to see what happens in Reunion. Then I'll have to start another one of her series. I don't think I've read this much ever in my life. :) Til next time.....

I haven't posted in almost a month. My goodness, time goes by fast. Not much has been going on lately. I've enjoyed a few snow days off and we've had play dates with friends. It's been fun. Peter was home with Isabella the other day and she got a hold of all the grocery sacks in the cabinet. Of all things to play with, she loved playing with all of them. As you can tell by her big "cheese" face.

Amanda dropped Tessa off at my house so she didn't have to take her to the doctor for Harrison's check up. The girls played and Tessa read Isabella a book. They are just like sisters to each other. So precious.

Here's Peter at work at the zoo. He got to play with the baby tigers one day. He loved it! When he got home he showed me the little scratches all over his arms from them playing with him. They are so cute. I can't wait for nice zoo weather to go and visit him there. He said there are a lot of animals that they don't even showcase that he gets to see. Not fair!
