Demonstration and Job

Izzy's teacher told me that today she gave a demonstration (a Montessori term for demonstrating step by step how to do or work a job). She was suppose to cut the fruit with a knife, put the piece on a napkin, and pass it to the teacher. Her teacher was thrilled because she was the only kid in the group to do this. She cut the fruit appropriately and then passed the piece on a napkin to a friend. This doesn't surprise Paul or I one bit. She has been able to use a knife since she was around a year and a half years old. She cuts bananas, butter, cheese, fruit, etc. We feel better to teach her how to use it then have her scare us by using it.

Izzy Statement

Izzy and I were playing chase in the backyard and she gets to a dead spot in the grass, pokes the stick she is holding in the grass and goes, "The grass is dead!" Was that an enlightened moment or what?

Taking a Break

I was washing the dishes on Saturday and Izzy was dying to go outside, so I opened up all the windows and this is what she did. She was so content to just go outside and lay down on the concrete. She look so small and infant like. I was surprised by how long she laid there considering she is two and moves always.

End of Kodakgallery Photos

After 4 years of having my pictures on Kodak's EasyShare website, Kodak is now not so "easy" or willing to "share". They have now stopped their long time supporters of their site from uploading photos to be put on their kodak sites for you all to see without having to log in by sending an invitation, each and every time I upload photos. Therefore, if you want to see pictures of Izzy, they will be here on her blog. I will learn how to show slide shows on this site as well, when I need to or when I have too many pictures to show. I apologize for any inconvenience, but maybe it is a good thing. It was getting hard to load pictures and write on her blog at the same time.

Spanish Mary Poppins

Yesterday, when we were at Wal-Mart, Izzy was helping us grocery shop and she notified Paul and I that the woman on the Rosarita's Refried Beans was "Mary Poppins". Paul and I just about died. I guess that Mary Poppins, who is English, can be found anywhere in the world especially in Mexico.
