Dear Isabella,

I think you are fantastic at just about everything. However, there are two areas in which you could improve -- sleeping and eating.

You don't really like sleeping through the night -- still. You generally wake up at 2:00 screaming. I run in hug you, offer you a glass of water, and watch a little TV with you, and you go back to sleep -- eventually.

You also don't eat much. This worries me. You might eat a little fruit and a couple of crackers for dinner. Perhaps some cheese. You really don't like meat... at all.

Last night, you slept through the night. Tonight, you ate a lot of pasta, crackers, meat, tomato sauce, ice cream, peas, cheese, and craisins. I'm so happy!
