Canned Food Drive

"Daddy, I give cereal to a kid so he have some tomorrow when he wake up. He not have cereal."

This is how you explained your contribution to the canned food drive at our school.

Jealous

Dear Isabella,

You joined me for lunch on Monday and Thursday. I had to giggle when during the middle of our lunch you exclaimed, "Mommy, Daddy gonna be jealous because we at McDonald's." You even told Daddy the same thing when you saw him in person.

Princess Beauty Parlor

Dear Isabella,

Tonight you bought a Princess beauty set. You have a flat iron, curling iron, blow dryer, and much more. We hurried home and took turns being the client and the stylist. When we were done giving each other new styles, we styled all of your Princess dolls.

You are such a girly girl.

Dogs

"Angel is Daddy's dog, and Daisy is my dog."

Does Mommy have a dog?

"No, Mommy, you have me."

Let's leave it at Isabella Shory

Dear Isabella,

You are quite obsessed with your name these days. The other day I gave you some big news: I told you that your name was NOT just Isabella Shory ... and that you had a middle name, "Michaelyn." This was exciting news to you and you were really excited -- until you figured out how hard it was to say "Michaelyn" and keep all of the names in the correct order. For a few days you referred to yourself as "Isabella Shory Hankins." This made us giggle -- a lot. After a few days of this, you told us that we should, "just leave it at Isabella Shory."

Awfuls

Dear Isabella,

Today was cold and rainy, so we decided to have "awfuls" for dinner. Oh, "awfuls" are waffles.

"My name not Izzy. I Isabella Shory."

"Not call me Izzy."

"Grammy, that not your question. That an Isabella question."

"Play with me."

"I a [pr]incess bee; Angel and Daisy bumblebees."

Working from Home

Dear Isabella,

I have a big evaluation coming up at school and I'm trying to do some work at home tonight. You are helping by screaming, jumping around, sitting on my lap, and punching on my laptop keyboard with your toes.

Thanks :)

Grammy

Dear Isabella,

You had so much fun with Grammy this week. You made lunches in the tub (I'm not really sure what this entails), you played bus/airplane with the dining room chairs, and you cuddled a lot. You also spend most of the time naked (or aked). Grammy looked tired when we took her to the airport today.
