Dear Great-Grandma,
How are you doing now? I am doing all right. I was up last night for a while because I was confused and scared and maybe my tummy hurt, I’m not really sure. Daddy took me for a drive in the car and when I got home I drank some milk and went back to bed and then I slept in until 7:30. And when I woke up my friend Joseph was here!
I think I told you Joseph hasn’t been coming recently, but he is here for the day and we are having fun playing together. We were stacking cups together for a while. Well, I would stack them and he would pull them down. Then I was playing in his portable high chair. I like to sit in it and pull the tray over my lap and pretend to eat.
Well, I would like to tell you in this letter about what happened this weekend. Mommy somehow got it into her head that she needed to do some cleaning, and so she did. She got a bucket and a rag, and a bottle that sprayed some stuff and a big roll of paper towels, and she cleaned all the windows in the whole house. They look so nice and sparkly now! I can tell just where I put my hands on them because the fingerprints are so nice and clear in all the clean glass.
Anyway, so Mommy cleaned windows and I helped. When she was cleaning the window in the bathroom I pulled everything out of the drawers and put it in different drawers, and then I pulled a whole bunch of toilet paper off the roll, and then I tried to eat the little pretend sunflowers she keeps in there but she wouldn’t let me. I thought that would be a lot of fun but she didn’t think so. Then we went into my room and cleaned the windows in there, and I helped her stand on the footstool to reach the high parts. I also pulled everything out of the cupboards in my room, too.
Then she came out to the kitchen and started washing the patio doors, so I climbed up on the table to see what I could see. I played with all the placemats and the little card with a picture of a bunny on it and then I slipped and fell and I was very sad, so Mommy put me down for a nap and went and did some cleaning by herself. It is too bad I did not get to help her for that part. She says she went outside and washed all the screens and that must have been a lot of fun, so I wish I hadn’t missed it.
After I woke up I helped her wash some more windows upstairs and then we went downstairs and looked at all the spiders in the window-wells. Mommy stuck her hand out there and pulled it back in and said something about making Daddy do that part, and I guess she meant it because the next day Daddy crawled out into all those window wells and brushed away the spider webs and the mud wasp nests and washed the outsides of the windows. Anyway, I kept helping Mommy while she washed the insides, by pulling more things out of drawers and playing with her music box and ceramic puppy.
Later that afternoon, after I pretended to take another nap, we went to a festival and there were balloons and bubbles. I love balloons and bubbles! Balloons are fun because they bob around and go up when you expect them to go down. Bubbles are very pretty and always disappear when you try to touch them.
That was all on Friday. On Saturday I helped Mommy do some laundry and when I took a nap she washed some more screens because there were some that Daddy had to take down for her, so she had to wait till he was home. And Daddy cleaned those window-wells, and Mommy washed a whole bunch more windows outside and so did Daddy. He had to do all the ones that you climb a ladder for. I watched him from inside!
I also helped Daddy clean out our shed outside. I stomped around on the floor in there and it made a wonderful booming sound. I also played in my little swimming pool. It didn’t have any water in it, just cherry blossoms. They are falling all over the place and it looks like pink snow. On Saturday evening after everything was clean, Mommy and Daddy and me and two other people from our church all went and got ice cream. I liked the ice cream but it was kind of cold and I got tired of it after a while. Then I went home and went to bed because I was TIRED!
On Sunday we went to church and I came home and didn’t even eat lunch because I was so tired out from playing with my friends in the nursery, and after I woke up we went to church again and played with a whole bunch of junior high kids. They like me so that was fun. And that was Sunday, and then my weekend was over.
It is rainy and chilly here today. I want it to stop raining so I can go outside and play because Mommy won’t let me go out in the rain. But at least the windows are nice and clean so I can see what I am missing.
Love,
Isaac
