Swimmin' Fool

Isabella is LOVING the water....she attempted to swim without her floaties when we were in Florida. She was able to touch in most of the pool and would lift her legs up and try to swim on her own. Last night when she was at the pool, she took her floaties off and hasn't put them back on. I think she swam about 2 hours tonight (which is probably why she fell like a rock when she went to bed)....and jumped in about 50 times. She has also been watching the Leap Frog videos....the letters and words. She actually wrote out CARROT CAKE 2 days ago with me telling her the letters. I had no clue she even knew how to make a C or a K. AND...she knows all the sounds that each one makes! I believe I have a genius on my hands:)



Isabella ADORES her old babysitter Bonnie. We met for lunch the other day and she brought along her daughter and new baby grandson Lucas. Lucas was born at 21 weeks at a little less than a pound and LIVED!!! Isabella was quite enamored by him and held him a few times. She didn't quite understand that he wasn't a dog and didn't like to be rubbed vigorously on the top of the head. I asked her if she wanted one and luckily she said 'no'.



The other night I needed to talk to my sister on the phone. I put Isabella in my bed to watch Sprout on TV. An hour later, thinking she was still awake watching it, I went upstairs to tuck her in. When I didn't find her in my bed, I went into her room and found her sound asleep with her mask on. How frickin' cute is that???


Elisabeth Disclaimer: I am not talking about Elisabeth in the most recent posts because she won't leave the house. When the kid is on vacation, she truly believes in staying in her pajamas until it is time to shower and put clean ones on. I did manage to drag her lazy butt to the pool for about 30 minutes today.
