Mischief afoot... Sometimes, for snack, we give Izzy those little Babybel cheeses--she loves them! Recently, though, she has taken to playing with them before eating them, if she eats them at all. Occasionally we'll find these round, little cheeses in the weirdest places like under the couch cushion or in her potty (yuck!), so we now have to make sure the Babybel actually makes it to her tummy! Here is one interesting application of this most curious plaything/snack:


Hi Mommy. I'm just hanging out by the door with my Babybel...

Everything here is fine... no need for concern...

...hmmmm....

And the cheese stands alone... who knew Babybel cheese sticks to windows? Sigh.

Fun at the bookstore.


Let me just set myself down here to peruse this book...


Now where did I leave off?


Wow! Surprise ending! Didn't see that coming!


The end.

Izzy has been attending classes at the Little Gym for about two semesters. Last week was "Show Day" where the kids got to show off all the skills they have learned in class.


Miss Leah helping Izzy with her front-flip. She stuck the landing!








Balance beam!




Monkeying around...


Phew! All this showing off is hard work!

At the end of each class, the kids clamor for hand stamps. Actually, the stamps don't end at the hands... they also get foot stamps and even tummy stamps! They all gather around (mob) the teacher as she stamps each kid from head-to-toe. Izzy is remarkably patient while waiting for her turn. The other kids hold their hands and feet out (and have their tummies ready, too!) but Izzy sits and waits until Miss Leah gets to her.


Patiently waiting...


...waiting...


...still waiting...


Yippee! My turn!



Playing with the roller coaster beads after gym class. Can't wait to start the new semester next week!
