Official Joke

We were driving to Milwaukee from Chicago when you first said your official effective joke. That means we all laughed hard. Here it is...

DADDY: (while driving) Stinks! Smells like dead skunk!

IZZY: It's maybe not dead skunk, daddy. It's maybe a old shirt! (and you laughed out so loud!) I'm just joking, daddy!

Cute Words

I'm always tickled every time you use your "cute words". One of them is "sneaky". I have no idea how you learned that word. I promise I never used that word in my whole life. I also know that your daddy has not used that word on a daily basis. But anyway, that's one of your favorite word. You use it when I put your jeans, shirts, dresses, hats and etc. on you and they're tighter than you'd want them to be. I am guessing that you when you say "sneaky", you actually mean "uncomfortable".

Another word, you use very often is "yesternight". Again, your daddy and I are not really users of this word. You like to say, "remember mommy and daddy, we went to Tennessee yesternight?" or you would say, "I ate my veggies yesternight." I smile at these lines.

"Mommy, would you make me a handwich?" Yeah, handwich! We have corrected you several times saying, it's not handwich, it's sandwich. For some reason, you like to be funny and you like to use words that make us smile when you say them. So, go ahead babby, invent more words.

"Bobbie" is also one of your cute words. When you are in your goofy mood, you say "bobbie" a lot. I think it's very cute!

On your own

We were concern about you sleeping on your own for the first time after 3 years. We had to spend overnight at the hospital last Friday when I went in for my thyroid surgery. The hospital doesn't allow kids under 5 years old to hang around in the area because of the H1N1 epidemic. Thankfully, your auntie Diane and your cousins were at our house. Your Auntie Diane was able to put you to bed successfully that night. She said you were crying a little bit but then you fell asleep as she started singing for you. You have grown up! Little by little... but it's a big leap of maturity for you to be able to sleep through the night without mommy and daddy. Your daddy and I are so proud of you, girl.
