Summer is quickly coming to an end but I think we made the most of this summer. We hit the state fair and Isabelle had a blast on the rides and playing some carnival games. We spent a lot of time going through the "little farm hands" exhibit.
Whenever we go to noodles Isabelle likes to try and eat with chopsticks. We recently went to PF Changs and they had learning chopsticks. Isabelle thought it was pretty neat that she could actually use them, and they let her take them home.
Below is a picture of Isabelle gettgin on the school bus for the very first time. Her first bus ride to school was uneventful but her bus got into a minor accident on the way home from school and she ended up being about an hour late. We were pretty frustrated with the school for not getting us more information during the incident but the kids seem unaffected. We are a month or so into the school year and Isabelle really loves school.
Isabelle started gymnastics again this fall. So far this has been her favorite activity, I think we are going to try basketball and some swimming lessons later this winter.
Isabelle has shown a little interest in golf. We got her a couple golf clubs and she has ridden on the cart with me a few times. She proved to be my good luck charm almost bringing a hole in one, missed it by that much.
My work hosted a family fun run and activity day in September. They had kids races and isabelle was pretty excited about the race and of course the bouncy house and bouncy slide.
Isabelle's favorite desert is a chocolate tower made of one reese's peanut butter cup, one rolo and one hershey' kiss. Why pick one candy when you can have all three....?
We had a good crop of plums, pears and apples this year. We canned pears, made plum jelly and will freeze some of the apples. We also made some strawberry jam with storebought berries.
We attended the downs syndrome walk at como park to support our friend Brynlee. Isabelle walked almost the whole 2 miles and had a fun time with the face painting and off course bouncy houses. She stuck a balloon under her shirt and was pregnant like her mom...
