A Visit From Great Grandma Carol

This week Isha's great-grandma Carol came for a visit, all the way from Seattle Washington. This is her second trip out to see Isha and I am so glad that Isha is getting to spend time with her. We had a very busy week. On Tuesday grandma went with us to kindermusik and on Wednesday we spent some time playing at the park. Yesterday we went to Ben Franklin and bought Isha this adorable foam fish hat for $0.77! What a bargain. She is going to be adorable at the pool this summer. We did lots of cooking while grandma was here also. It was fun to just spend some time hanging out and letting Isha show her great-grandma all the stuff she can do. Grandma was even able to see a few little temper tantrums. But most of the time was spent playing and snuggling. What a good week. Next week we are off to see Isha's grandparents in TX. Isha sure has a lot of people that love her. What a lucky little girl!

Into Everything

One of Isha's favorite things to do is play the piano. I will be busy doing something and I will hear the tinkle of piano keys. She has figured out how to do it by herself now so it is a constant attraction. I set her up on the bench and she loves to pound away. My piano playing skills are almost non-existent, even though I took lessons for 6 months, but I play a few scales and chords so that she can hear the sound of them. I hope she continues to enjoy music. Boy are we in trouble. Isha is in the climbing phase right now. The other day she got up on top of a box and she was so proud of herself. It makes me nervous because now I am wondering what she is going to try next. TA DA! Look what I can do! Playing on the swings at the park is another one of Isha's favorite things. She would swing all day if she could. She loves the feel of the wind on her face. She smiles and lets out great big giggles. I love getting out of the house and enjoying some fresh air. I think it helps wear her out which makes her take better naps, which is always a good thing!
