A brief escape

Dropped off Haruka at bus station and enjoying a few moments to find blog app at lake. Just gorgeous.

Izaac's friends cont...

Levi and Izacc. Levi visits every Thurs morning and Izaac goes over to Tash's on Wednesdays. So these two monkeys are in each other's lives all the time. They jus adore each other - the way boys do.

Lucy - she is just so beautiful and adores Izaac.

Izaacs friends

Izaacs little world is surrounded by the little friends he has, that constantly comes into his life weekly. I'm so grateful that he has this little social network. He loves his friends. He has gone into the stage recently where he loves to hug and kiss his friends, when saying goodbye. He shows such beautiful traits of kindness and gentleness. He is also pretty layed back, not too fussed, for too long, if something is taken away from him. He loves to interact and then retreat to be off on his own for a while, then back to playing, chasing, laughing, and his favourite, out jumping on the trampoline.

Our backyard

Our backyard (carport) has become the playground for Izaac and his friend. It's just wonderful. If Izaac wants to do art, his easel and tables are there. Our little playground has been such a blessings. It's really important for me to encourage that Izaacs gross motor skills can grow and that he has equipment to fully encourage this. (oh how I'd still like a brachiating ladder and beam bar)

I really wanted a trampoline for Izaac. Over christmas, Tash's partner, Ray bought their kiddies a new, bigger trampoline. So Izaac got a wonderful Christmas present from them, which he just loves and loves and loves. I cannot express how useful and stimulating a trampoline is for children. Izaac will go on it daily. On, off, on off.

Then our wonderful next door neighbours have friends. They just keep on giving Izaac hand me downs. So he has a toolset, an activity table, etc.

A lovely guy at work was looking for a home for his girls outgrown outdoor equipment. His eldest daughter has CP. So we often chat about her progress, how she got the disorder (after her 2 day old Hep B injection, by the way). Secretly in my heart I was so wanting to get Izaac a little tikes slide (he loves slides), a cubby house and a little tikes car. I couldn't believe it. Sean asked me if I wanted his girls stuff. When we went to his house, the goodies I had in my heart I so wanted to get him, where all there! I couldn't believe the gift and blessing we received. I was just so reminded that God loves to take care of the small, little secrets we have too. Plus we got an extra slide, as well. So you'll see the next round of photo's of Izaacs friends, mainly playing in his play area with all our little miracles. Oh, and of course the sandpit is there too.

Questacon (21 mo)

Oh, how our little boy loves Questacon. A science place here in Canberra. They have a special under 6yo section. It has loads of pretend play areas (construction site, car garage station, restaurant, vet clinic). Then there is a space section. A enclosed jungle gym. And a water area. We bought a yearly pass, which is so worth it's money, for just being able to get out, especially during the hot summer months or the freezing cold. Hot chippies afterwards is always a great surprise!

Izaac - dressups and home - 21 months

He loves his little table his Nanna gave him. Loves drawing.

Izaac just loves wearing anyone elses shoes. This picture we managed to catch of him with his boots on and Dad's cowboy hat. Adorable.

Then sometimes he just loves to 'chill out' watch the old box. We just love this concentrated expression.
