At Some Point in Life, We All Have Egg On Our Face and a Funny Daycare Story
As kids leave Isaac's room, new ones come in, the neverending (thankfully, the alternative would be awful) stream of children introducing Isaac to new friends. Well, the number of boys has tilted the room decidedly into the "little boy" camp. Colin, one of the older kids, and Gavin, another older kid, have cribs on either side of Isaac's. On Wednesday Colin and Gavin began shouting at each other when they were supposed to be sleeping. Isaac, being Monkey in the Middle, decided to join in. The little hooting and shouting woke everyone up that was sleeping and prevented anyone else from going to sleep. It got so bad that the teachers had to separate the three boys, thus ending a short-lived crib fraternity.
Today we were out and about, despite the chill sub-40 degree weather. We took a trip to Tower Hill Botanical Garden, in Boylston Massachusetts. The place was PACKED. It was the 49th Annual African Violet Club Show. We didn't know that was going on, in fact, I didn't even know they have African Violet Clubs (though I am certain most people are equally unaware that you can dish out big bucks for a flashlight). There were probably 250-300 old people and other 100 REALLY old people. We were by far the youngest folks there. The place is absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful, curvilinear post and beam construction with an excellent meddling of glass, steel, and wood. The grounds are even more beautiful with over 20,000 daffodils, dozens of gardens, multiple fountains (including a pair of turtles shooting water at each other that enthralled Isaac). The only place I can think of that is more beautiful in Massachusetts is Ozawa Hall at Tanglewood and even then, they are running neck and neck (Copland's version of Simple Gifts pouring out into the warm summer Berkshire air could make a telephone booth striking...).
Isaac liked the place, lots and lots of light and a wonderful variety of things to look at while entertaining Mom and Dad. Here are some images:

Isaac and Mom admiring the plants:
And just in case your not SICK of pictures of his glorious blue eyes (I never tire of them):
And a few videos:
Isaac was introduced to eggs and that went MUCH better than his intro to peas, and VASTLY better than his intro to cottage cheese (he became what could only be described as a cottage cheese sprinkler).
So here it is, Isaac with Egg on His Face:
Here is an older video (like last week) of Isaac in "pure bliss" mode as he is in his exersaucer AND playing with bubbles:
I have a very good life.
