While Big Brother is Away, Isaac Shall Play...
with Legos! Isaac came up to me today and showed me the "soda truck" he built. "I built it allbymyself!"
He's certainly learned a lot from his older brother. His soda truck has a trunk that opens. I know I'm impressed!

What We Did Today
Sundays are days for rest, reading the paper, reflecting on the week to come...
So, what did we do today?
We spent (in shifts) 5 hours and 45 minutes in the bathroom with Isaac, waiting for him to poop. Our efforts, praise God, were NOT in vain. He did the deed at 5:30pm. In the potty.
Over those 5-plus hours we feed him raisins, juice, dried apples, shredded wheat, anything to get things moving. At about 3:00, I (anne) put a pull-up on him with a big hole cut out of the back to allow, well, you know.
All that matters is, albeit 2 hours later, it worked. He's excited about it. We called all the grandparents. He got lots of chocolate chips. We'll see tomorrow whether or not this experience actually made any sort of lasting impression on him.
Maybe he'll get to open his Isaac-pooped-on-the-potty present that's been collecting dust since July.

Colorado is such a beautiful place!
We went camping last week for 3 days, north of Rocky Mountain National Park, about 3 hours from our house. We were at 10,000 feet and I don't think it got above 80 degrees the whole time we were there. It was a little slice of heaven!
a view from our campsite
sun streaming through the trees
my two boys. Notice how Isaac is carrying his back pack.
can you believe this place exists?
a moose. A yearling, however, still huge. She couldn't care less that I was taking pictures of her.

Isaac and his stitches
Isaac is back to normal after smacking his lip on flagstone that we recently put in on the patio. We went to Urgent Care and he got 4 stitches on the inside of his lip, which was a traumatic experience for all involved (Charlie watched TV in the waiting room).
So, here's a picture of him the day after he had the stitches put in:
and here's what he looks like today, 5 1/2 days later.

What happens when you leave sugar on the counter
Isaac came to me today asking if he could have something to eat and he looked as if he was covered in sand... including his face. Then I noticed the ring around his mouth.
"What have you been eating?" I asked. "Brown sugar."
Yeah. I'll be more careful to put the sugar back in the cabinet.
