Time together
Dean took Deano and Andrew to Missouri this weekend. they got up at 4am on friday morning and drove all day long and got to Springfield around 1am Saturday morning. They spent today with Dean's sister and her husband in the hospital, and then they will be leaving extremely early tomorrow morning and driving all the way back home, hoping to be home in time for him to get some sleep before going back to work on Monday.
Dean took his dad with him because he hasn't seen Dean's sister in some time, and his Dad just needed to get away for a bit because his wife died two weeks ago. Dean will also be giving his mom a ride back home, since she drove her car out to give to Dean's sister. It has been really good for Dean to be able to spend some time with his family, especially his dad. And the boys are definitely enjoying time with grandpa which they haven't had a ton of in the past.
Isaac and I stayed at home. I had forgotten what it was like to just have one small kid. It is both easier and harder than three kids. Three kids keep each other entertained, one kid needs more one on one attention. Three kids need more help and make more messes, one kid is much cleaner, and less demanding. Isaac especially is much less messy. While he does make quite a mess while eating, he is always happy to help clean up, and will always throw away his trash and he'll help clean up toys when I ask him to.
These last couple of days I have just been enjoying being with Isaac. He has turned into such a fun kid. He is talking a lot more, and likes to repeat things that I say. He says a ton of new words every day, and is starting to remember more words from day to day than he has before. It's exciting. He is also developing his own little personality. He is a clown. He will do anything to make me laugh, and one of his most favorite words to use is 'funny.' Its a little bit of a problem because he'll do something he knows he's not allowed to do because he thinks its funny, like throwing food, or stealing my phone and running off with it. He is really funny though. I'm curious to see if that trait stays with him.
