Isaac starts preschool!

So we are fortunate to have him at Merritt College preschool part-time. He has all his little buddies there from the daycare and he loves it! He started February 16th. He even got a backpack to celebrate that he was entering school. He was very excited to be a big boy!

Happy Birthday my 3 year old!

I can not believe that Isaac has turned 3! We were so busy with the celebration I don't think we got any pictures. If I find any from someone I will post them. We had a Diego themed birthday as he loves the show:) Isaac now finally understands about birthdays and presents. He loved every minute of it!! He also had his 3 year old check up and is doing well.

Christmas with all the family

We were fortunate this Christmas to celebrate with both sides of the family in Santa Rosa. We had a blast but too many presents. It was crazy!!

Isaac's fun love of reading

One night I was reading a book to Isaac, called Blue Hat, Green Hat. There is a funny chicken inside that does everything the wrong way and in a silly way. He got a big kick out of it!

Thanksgiving...

Well we were supposed to have Thanksgiving at our house with my brother and his family and my mom, but my niece got sick and so we took Thanksgiving to their house. It was a nice small gathering and Isaac had fun playing with his cousin Karli who is 6 months older. My mom enjoyed seeing Isaac and spending time with him. We took some pictures with my mom's camera but we will have to put up the photos later. A few weeks to go and Christmas will be upon us and Masa's family and my family will be joined together for Christmas this year. This will be the first time that his family has ever been here for Christmas.

Fun times...

I am amazed everyday at Isaac and his budding vocabulary. Words that I didn't think he knew pop up in his vocabulary. He is also is having fun with his friends and working on sharing. I try to take him someplace special every weekend, it might be the same place or sometimes we try something different. Every Saturday we continue with his swim lessons, which he started when he was 6 or 7 months. He is starting to kick, blow easily and jump off the side of the wall while being caught in the water. Then I like to take him to the park when it is nice and if it is raining, we go to some sort of play place in Oakland or at the play place in the mall in San Leandro. He is getting bigger everyday and my little baby is no longer a baby and now he is fully a preschooler. Isaac turns three soon and I can't believe it!

The month of September

We have had a busy month. I started my new school. Isaac started back into daycare and daddy started his new graduate program for Occupational Therapy. We did swim lessons all summer and we are still continuing to do swim lessons on our own by taking him to the pool every weekend to get practice. We have been having fun! Isaac's language has definitely increased over the last year. He now is asking questions, answering questions and engaging in imaginative play. We are excited because his gradparents and auntie and cousins from Japan will be visiting us for Christmas. We will be celebrating Christmas in America this year. Here are some pictures of Isaac over this past month.
