Isabel (& Josiah) Island

Eagan, Minnesota
I am a Christian, trying-to-be-crunchy wife and mama of two kids (nearly 5 and nearly 3), who keep me very busy, as well as the mother of our angel baby who was born and went to be with Jesus on November 26, 2012. I also work full-time outside the home so I don't get to blog nearly as much as I would like about my children, but I do what I can!

What do jumping, remote controls, and broccoli have in common?

The three things in the title of this post may seem completely unrelated, but they all played a key role in entertaining my children yesterday, on a very blustery, cold, wintry day.  On days like these, the kids have to find activities to entertain themselves and one another. Activities such as...

Isabel dancing and jumping in front of Josiah as he bounces vigorously in his stationary jumper...
(I love seeing them interact together in this way. His gaze constantly follows her every move when they are in the same room together).

Practicing hard at following in his daddy's footsteps as a future channel surfer....

And yes, at dinnertime, they were both entertained by eating broccoli. This was Josiah's first time having it and he had a blast. I could barely keep up with cutting the flowery parts off and breaking it into small enough pieces for him. And not only did Isabel eat a bunch of broccoli, but she ate a very hearty helping of cooked carrots too. I totally live by the philosophy of "keep offering vegetables" because every now and then, like tonight, she will completely shock me by eating and liking them!
