"Heights, those are what we take at the 'oreport.'"

Your Crib
Izzy,
We are heading north to give your crib, toys, etc. to Aunt Mandie and Jones. Each time I put items in a box for Mandie, Daddy pulled some out. We both fought a lot of tears yesterday.

Disney Dreams
While discussing an upcoming Disney trip with Daddy, you explained that you didn't need to take the train inside the Magic Kingdom because we have... a stroller.
Vacation
Dear Isabella,
You and I flew to Wisconsin to spend time with Grammy and Papa last week. You loved it --especially the cheeseheads. Here are some funny things you said on the trip:
When the flight attendant announced that there would be no beverage service on the short flight, you responded with, "I'm going to tell my daddy about this."
Any time I bumped into you or injured you in the slightest way, your responded with, "I'm going to tell my daddy about this."
In church, while pointing to the cross, "Hey Mommy, you've got that necklace."

The Haircut
Dear Isabella,
A few weeks ago, you were practicing your cutting -- very quietly. When I came to check on you, I found a clump of blond curls on the floor. Yes, you gave yourself a haircut. In all fairness, it wasn't too bad, really. But, you were most upset and wanted to hide all of the evidence. We put the hair in the "crash" and put your hair in a pun so Daddy wouldn't know about your misdeed. You kept up the charade and wore your hair in a bun for nearly 12 hours before you confessed -- just before we headed over to the salon for Miss Mandie to repair the damage.

Candy Land
We made it through our first actual board game tonight. You didn't quit, cry or cheat. You played beautifully, and we had a ton of fun -- twice.
Beauty
Dear Isabella,
Trying to teach you that beauty is about much more than outward appearances is difficult. You are very, very interested in all things "beautiful" -- makeup, shoes and most importantly, dresses. Getting ready each morning is a true chore. Many days you ask, "How am I supposed to look beautiful in this?" I always respond that you always look beautiful because you are sweet, smart and kind. And, yes, beautiful.

Backtalk
Dear Isabella,
Say it isn't true, my girl is backtalking..and it's not good. I'm having a hard time staying strong through this. The whining, pouting, and arguing are totally taking their toll on our summer fun, but I am determined to set clear boundaries and expectations for you. I don't want you to grow up to be a spoiled brat. A little spoiled is okay, a brat is not.
