Isabelle and I have had a stressful relationship from day one. She was coliclly, a fighter when it came to nursing, and always seemed to want her daddy. Some might say its more the battle of the wills. You see what Izzy doesn't realize is that I am just as, if not more stubborn than her. So when push comes to shove, I won't give into her tantrums, fits or stubborn attitude. Maybe I am the one who needs to grow up -eh? Brenton often times thinks I am too hard on her, but in my opinion, she is not in charge of this house, although she would like to be. But it seems that lately we have been bonding more by going on outings together, reading together, cuddling, and wrestling and laughing together. We have been having fun! And I've been loving every minute of it. Maybe it's her age, or my age, or everyone's age, or maybe it's because I have been less distracted by scheduling when I work on things so she is getting more quality mom time...whatever it is it's great! I love you bear!

I noticed yesterday when the kids were over that Izzy has grown up so much! Her attention span is longer. She played with puzzles a long time by herself. She seems more secure in herself too, less likely to do something naughty just for attention. She was very loving with Papa. She sat in his lap, talking with him. And she likes to tease. we wer watching football and she'd ask him what color the team was that we were cheering for. He told her, "the white team." She'd then say, "the blue team?" with a twinkle in her eye.
