Boompa came to visit two days ago. He brought some plywood and created some storage space for us in our garage! Then he spent the night. Isaac loves spending time with Boompa. He really enjoyed Boompa reading to him the story about "Steve and the Mighty Loader".
In true petitcompaore style, I now have something completely different to show you. It's our Jesse tree/Advent tree. We have been enjoying doing this so far! This year I could only get as far as making the "tree". That was enough craft effort for me. I had Isaac color and I cut out some pictures I found online. I have to say, it's working pretty well for me. The old children's picture Bible that Grandma and Grandpa lent us is working really well too. It's nice because Isaac is now to the age where he loves stories, so he is very interested in the Bible stories and wants to hear them again and again.
Another thing that has been fun for me is seeing how Isaac's coloring has come along. You might look at this and just see scribbles, but I see some definite intentional color placement on each little picture. Isn't it so neat how that happens? I haven't been noticing the whole "fine motor" thing as much until recently, but now that Isaac is starting to try scissors and do this coloring, it's very intriguing to me.
