Today we had lunch (and beer!) by the pool after playing on the beach and then swimming in the pool for Alice and myself. What was the best part of the morning? Seeing Alice's eyes sparkle with joy and mischief and she jumped into my arms again and again in the pool. That's what "swimming" is for Alice currently.
I don't think that I can ever get tired of looking at my kids eyes.
Don't assume that I didn't enjoy my morning with Isaac as well. I did. Every day he's more of his own person and lots of fun. He's getting into his own type of trouble: baby trouble. He seems intent on crawling off a bed head first or pounding so hard on the balcony glass we think it might pop out. Every time I'm repeatedly unable to distract him I hand him a kindle or the "tough" camera for him to play with. Few things other than beach balls and his sister make him so happy. Where Alice was all about clothes at a young age (but older than this) he seems to be about electronics, even if they are turned off.
An amusing thing happened last night. While I was trying to distract him in his highchair while Laura brought food with Edgar J. Hand of the east coast Hand Puppets, I thought that he would like it to look more like a puppet. So I wrapped a cloth napkin around my hand. Well, that was not right, not right at all. Isaac looked at me, looked at the hand and seemed to ask "what have you done? What is this abomination???" So I took the cloth off and Isaac gave me such a look of relief. Apparently I'm not allowed to becloth my hand puppets.
Those moments are my favourite and things I can never capture in photos even if I tried.
