Molly

Dear Isabella,

Today Sitty had to have her cat, Molly, put to sleep. You and I had a very mature discussion about it. You summed it all up with these words:

"Mommy have sad news. Molly very sick. She died. She in Heaven running around with other kitties. Heaven way up in the sky. I can't see Heaven. Sitty sad. I'm going to give her hug."

You understand so much now. It takes my breath away.

Where Papa's House?

"Mommy, I sad. I can't see Papa's house. Where is it?"

Fairy Wings, a Tiara and a Tutu

This is what you are wearing right now. You want Daddy to wear the same combination...in blue.

Cute Stuff

"Mommy, where my cheese necklace? I wanna look like a mermaid, but I don't wanna get wet."


"Mommy, did you have a crash in yours car?"
"Yes, Isabella. It was just a little crash. I hit the garage and scraped the car, but Daddy doesn't like it, so let's not talk about it.
"Mommy, Daddy not like little crashes. He like big crashes?"


"Mommy, Daddy home! I so 'cited! Are you 'cited, too?"

Happy Birthday for Daddy

Sharon

Dear Isabella,

A few months back Sharon, our cleaning lady, spilled some droplets of bleach on the carpet in your bedroom. Tonight, you marched up to Sharon and said, "Don't put more white stuff on my floor, please." She was shocked, but she giggled.

Thanks, Isabella. You are way more direct than your mommy.

Shy? Not this girl

Dear Isabella,

You are officially a flirt.

No Sleep!

Dear Isabella,

After breastfeeding (and waking up in the middle of the night each night to feed you) for 19 months, I've become rather attached to sleep. You are usually a great sleeper, but last night was hard. You woke up at 1:00 AM and talked to me until 3:00 AM. You told me all kinds of interesting things. You told me that you liked princesses, that you had hands, and that Angel did not have hands. Well, needless to say, we are all very tired this morning.

I'm hoping for a better night tonight.

Puzzles

Dear Isabella,

Have a I mentioned that you are really, really good at doing puzzles? Well, you are. You are amazing. You are now assembling puzzles intended for 4+ year olds. You are completely bored by easier puzzles.

Babies Don't Like Princesses

Dear Isabella,

Sunday night we took dinner to our friend, Paula who just had a baby. As long as we were taking dinner, we grabbed a few of your old puzzles, toys, and books for the baby. You weren't very happy about it. You were not very keen on the idea of taking some of YOUR toys to a baby, but you finally got over it. However, you have been reminding me for days that babies don't like princesses. In fact, tonight you told Daddy to remind me that babies don't like princesses.
