"Puhple" Shoes

Dear Isabella,

I've always loved you. But I must be honest and tell you that you were not always a lot of company. You cried a lot, didn't sleep through the night, and didn't want to watch Dancing with the Stars with me. Suddenly all of that has changed. You are SO MUCH FUN!

Today I took you shopping at Kohl's. While I was ordering a wedding gift from the kiosk, I took my eyes off of you for a few seconds. When I turned to see you, you were nude (except for a diaper) in the middle of the store. Your top and pants were around your ankles, and you were VERY proud of yourself. A few minutes later, I was looking at some shirts. The shirt that I was looking at was gray and sort of like the shirt that I was wearing. You pointed at that shirt and my shirt and said, "Mommy!" and giggled. I think that you were telling me that I didn't need two of the same gray shirts. A few minutes later, I was looking at shoes. You yelled, "SHHHHHooooos!" You kicked off your shoes and demanded a new pair of "puhple" shoes. It was hilarious. Of course you got the new "puhple" shoes. You were very proud of them. Daddy laughed like crazy when I told him the story.
