Happy Birthday Isabella!

 

Isabella turned eight years old on the 29th of May.  She had a fabulous birthday and I didn't have the baby, so she doesn't have to share, which made he pretty happy.  Her sister picked out this little giraffe for her weeks before her birthday.  Then while we were out shopping after the fact, she showed it to Bella and said, isn't this cute Bella, don't you wish you had a cute giraffe like this.  Bella said she did like the giraffe.  Sophie whispered to me that she now knew that Bella would like her gift, it was pretty funny and clever for a three year old.  I had prepared everything well in advance and since Bella doesn't like cake, we just had Oreo ice cream.  It was a nice day and I can't believe she is eight!

Eight Things about Isabella

1.She is dedicated.  When she wants to do something she sets her mind to it and accomplishes it.

2. She is kind.  Bella is always loves everyone.

3. Bella is super helpful.  She reads a bedtime story to Sophie every night because they both like it.

4. Bella is strong.  Three years of gymnastics have made her strong and very coordinated.  I can't believe how much the gymnastics helps with other sports.

5. Bella is a great student.  She always got great notes home from her teacher and loves school.

6.  Bella loves to dance.  She gets the music in her and can't sit still.  She had us all entertained at her gymnastics meet because she just couldn't hold the dance moves in.

7.  Bella is a great writer.  She brought home five or six journals this year filled with poems and stories and all sorts of things.  She got a few journals for her birthday and has already begun to fill them up.

8. She is inquisitive.  She is always wanting to know more and asking what things mean.  

We love Isabella so much and can't imagine our family without her.  She is a great sister and daughter and we are so blessed to have her!
