Isaac - 27 months

Isaac loves to have conversations with us and then will remember details in the later days. His memory is amazing to me. He knows that Baby Jesus's birthday is coming up and will find the each day on our homemade birthday cake/Advent calendar. When playing with his "Little People" Nativity scene, he knows that Baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph have to go inside the manager. He talks a lot about Christmas, being nice and naughty for Santa, wanting presents and toys from Santa, and Team Umizoomi fixing the toys in Santa's workshop (favorite Christmas episode). He even saw Santa for the first time this year. Even though he refused to sit on his lap, he seemed to capture the essence of what Santa was about.

"Buddy the Elf" showed up this year to our home and enjoys to watch Isaac from a different location in our home each day. Isaac tells Buddy good morning and will run up to him to tell him a nice thing he did for one of us at home. He may not understand the full extent of Buddy and his magical powers, but he does enjoy finding him each day. In his own words, he explains that Buddy will go to Santa and make Santa happy. (Thanks Ga Ga Shaw for telling Buddy where we lived so he can be our very own Elf on the Shelf!)

Other current interests:
The PBS channel has become a favorite including shows like Curious George, Super Why and The Cat in the Hat.

Still crazy on his little Strider bike and loves to ride bike with Daddy.

Still loves singing and dancing and has begun to sing words to songs and dances pretty well with rhythm and a beat. Music class was a hit with this boy!

Continues to do really well with numbers and letters. Likes to count objects, identify numbers (beginning to work on numbers larger than 10), He is currently working on letter sounds and words that begin with letters. For example, if I ask what letter Butterfly starts with, he will tell the "The letter B." I will pick random objects around the house, and ask him what letter it starts with and he is pretty good at some basic sounds like B, F, D, etc.

His smile lights up the room and he has such a sweet side to his personality. He does very well to help Mom and his overall very sweet to his little brother. He does not like to see Levi cry and will try to give him a toy or something to make him stop crying. However, he does want to take things out of Levi's hands at times, but if we make a game out of taking turns, he usually is excited to share. But he continues to want to test boundaries and limits and Mom and Dad continue to work diligently to set them.
