I posted the pic on Facebook of Isabel’s big poofy hair from the last post and my aunt commented that anyone can have straight hair but those with curly hair have the sense of humor and that is so true with Isabel. 

Tony and I pinpointed our children.  Lil Tony does stuff over and over again that he thinks is funny and 9 times out of 10 everyone else thinks it’s funny too.  Isabel does stuff with the hopes that everyone thinks is funny.  She tries to be funny.  At dinner our entertainment centers around her being goofy.  It is great family time.  Probably the only time of the day that we all sit down together and talk, laugh and eat great home cooked food. 

I really can’t wait until Lil Tony and Isabel (and of course Max) get a little older and can just sit still and eat at dinner.  Of course with the added wonderful conversation and laughter.  Now they just fuss and crank and barely eat.  I find myself shoveling the food in my mouth just to be able to get my food  down before the kids are just way too antsy. 

I never really appreciated family dinner time when I was growing up.  To me it just seemed like a requirement in the house to eat at a specific time as opposed to being wonderful family time, ya know what I mean.  Like in the army or something, everything is scheduled and done on time at a specific time.  I really want our kids to appreciate we eat dinner together because it is probably the one time a day (as each of their lives get a bit busier)that we can all “schedule ” to be together.
