“Cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow
For babies grow up, we've learned to our sorrow
So quiet down cobwebs. Dust, go to sleep
I'm rocking my baby, and babies don't keep.”
It’s too bad that babies don’t stay in the sleeping stage for very long. There really is nothing like a baby sleeping on you to bring the world into perspective. We’ll get this for a few more weeks I suspect, at which point Isla will become more alert and interested in interacting with world. That’s ok, we’ll enjoy it while it lasts.
Ashlyn and James have stayed Ashlyn and James. They’re quite the pair and it will be interesting to see how the dynamics of the group change when Isla gets older. For now, they have the run of the house and they are taking advantage of it every chance they can get.
We had planned to visit Nina and Papa and do a little swimming on Sunday but the weather was not cooperative. The kids still had a fun time, and the fun continued into the street when we had a slight delay in leaving thanks to a very insistent Isla demanding food.
Mom found an interesting shopping list that turns a Costco run into 20 slow cooker meals. While we spent time preparing a month’s worth of feasts the kids went outside to find their own entertainment. This turned out to be more dangerous than originally anticipated. Apparently they thought it would be fun to turn James into a paper mache version of himself.
And this was taken while I was typing this blog post. Good night little Isla.
