Where did the week go again?
Sigh. I'm sure we did a few things. Let me try to debrief the highlights of what I remember.
*Tuesday we went to the orchard with Isaac's future wife Ella. It was beautiful, relaxing, and fun. We especially enjoyed feeding the goats with apples that had been sullied by the ground. Oh, and a yellow jacket stung me on the tongue when I tried to eat him. I guess that was not fun, but it was also not a horribly big deal.
*Jake pooped yesterday, partially willingly. Truly, this is a highlight for the week, and possibly the month. As he was trying to squeeze the poop into his underpants, he admitted to me that he did actually need to go and voluntarily sat on the toilet to do the job. He was not too fussy afterwards and declared his toilet offering to most resemble a snake.
*Jake and I did storytime on Wednesday. It was about shapes. We glued stuff and talked about shapes on the Delaware flag, which was fun. I like very much that Jake has something to help him keep up with Preschooler Isaac on the craft business, because of all the things I try to be as a mom, I know my limits and throw my hands up when confronted with craftdom.
*This week is "I" week at preschool. "I" mostly for insect, but perhaps more importantly, for Isaac. Ms. Barbara gave him the go-ahead that he could bring himself for show and tell.
*Daddy is so busy applying for an invited NASA grant. So busy that he has made himself super-sniffly sick. He meant to stay up late tonight working on the thing, but has instead passed out downstairs on the couch.
*Tonight I had my first Spanish class. The university offers free language classes for faculty, staff, and those all important SPOUSES every semester. After 3 years of waiting for the right time, my goateed babysitter and I have decided that said time is NOW. So every Thursday day, myself and 20 other older estudiantes will meet with el profesor Alberto and escuchan y repitan. It is so much fun I could bust. And I think it's only a matter of time before I can keep up with Diego.
