Big Surprise for Grandmom

Some time ago I had sent Isaac a book I made by pasting pictures of trucks and construction equipment onto construction paper. He was crazy about trucks and things, and I thought he might enjoy this. Soooo...... he has responded.

(I did not want to deconstruct this book, so if you click on the photos it will enlarge them, but don't expect great quality, since the photos are in plastic covers. I only copied a few pages.)


I had a wonderful surprise today! The mailman brought me a big envelope from Isaac. When I opened it, I found a loose leaf notebook titled "A Day In the Life of Isaac". It was full of pictures, showing me how he spent his day. He had printed the cover himself, and his mother had helped by printing explanations beside each photo.


I had so much fun, seeing how he had spent the day! There he was in his pajamas, getting up in the morning. He showed me how it looked outside of his front door. (It was a foggy morning.) He took a picture of Banyan Bunny, who he sleeps with, and showed me a shirt they are making for his Dad, decorating it with fish and islands and seaweed.



Then there was a picture of Isaac, all ready to go to pre-school, and one taken from the top of the hill near his house.




There were pictures of him with his school friends too, and how he showed them a big red scarf that he juggles with. He let them have turns trying to juggle. He showed me a picture of himself with his teacher, and another of a beautiful cactus blooming in her yard. When he came home from school, he picked the first ripe strawberry from their garden. He decided to give that to his babysitter.


A little later, he went to a friend's house to play. And then it was nap time.


When his Dad got home from work, they went to the Farmers' Market. Here are some of the things he saw there, looking down from his perch on Dad's shoulders. They ran into some of their friends there too.










They went to a restaurant for dinner that night. Silly kid! When he spilled some catsup on his hand, he just dipped his french fry into it.





Then, home to bed. Dad read him his story before he went to sleep.


His book ended with a picture of his cat, Emily, waiting for her dinner.


Thank you so much, Isaac. Grandmom really enjoyed her book!
