She likes to do drawings

Not much to report on Isobel this week.  She's just her wonderful cooing, gooing, spewing self.  Still battling the colic at night, but generally asleep by later in the evening, and only waking once or twice at night.  This week she did start sucking on her hand purposefully, sometimes preferring it to the pacifier.  She also is definitely recognizing mommy and daddy as unique and special caretakers and is happy to see us.

Grace has always been a really creative and imaginative kid.  We got her a doodler (magna-doodle) a while ago and it has been a constant friend to her.  She's had a progressive improvement in skills.  This week, she's become a little obsessed with drawing.  She's requested to draw after quiet time.  She's requested to draw instead of story time.  All she wants to do is draw.

It's fun to watch these obsessions come and go.  A couple months ago it was dinosaurs.  Now it's drawing.  What will be next?

She has so many quotable quotes right now.  I'm sure most 3 year-old kids do.  Here's a couple:

During Cleanup:
Oh hey... here's a sticker I was looking for... Oooooh it even has some stickum left on it!

During Moving Organization:
Betsey:  Okay, I'm going to be taking boxes up the stairs now.
Grace: Okay, I'm going to be getting in your way now.
