Day at home

Today was a home day for us. I need one day a week with no play dates or outings planned. I let Isaiah stay in his jammies for a few extra hours and we play with every toy, do every activity, read every book in our flat. Today, I tried a new "activity cup" with Isaiah. I filled it with slips of paper with activities written on it. Some of them simple like "do some jumping" and some requiring more effort, like "do fingerpainting" or "find a good book and read it on the guest bed with Mommy". Isaiah LOVED the concept and was willing and excited to do anything that the note suggested (as opposed to me suggesting things he/we could do). I think the cup was like a 3rd party that Isaiah considered to be really fun. One of the activities was to play "store" with me. I put his sunglasses in the store, he bought them for 1 coin and wore them for the rest of the day - We spent a bit of time in the back yard. It was a really sunny day and not too windy. This was Noelle's first time to join us. I bundled her up in her little pink fluffy suit and popped her in the bouncy seat. She was as happy as could be.
