Dear Isabella,

Last night we surprised Daddy in his office. You were dressed in a preppy argyle sweater and mary janes. However, to keep it interesting, I paired it with a hot pink tutu-like skirt. Everyone in the newsroom declared that they wanted Isabella Shory's wardrobe. I know that I'm not a perfect mommy, but I want you to know that I always dressed you VERY well. Daddy says this is really important because people ooh and ahh over you and this is good for your self esteem. I think Daddy likes showing you off to everyone. You really are adorable. People in stores and in church stop to stare at you all of the time. You really are a stunning child. I'm not kidding.

Anyway, while we were in the newsroom, I asked you to show everyone what you learned on the gym bus. You stood on top of one of the desks and did the most beautiful little arabesque. We all giggled. You then proudly showed off your big girl panties -- Yo Gabba Gabba panties. You were very proud.

This morning we got up to let Daddy sleep in a little. We're kind of loud with our singing, dancing, playing, and cartoon watching, so I'm not sure how much sleep Daddy actually got.
