Listen and Observe

I took some time today to really listen and observe Isabella...
She is fantastically bright...

We went to the library this morning, where she greeted each librarian and told them of all the books that we were returning... I watched as she completely brightened each of their mornings

We stopped at Starbucks because I have an addiction, normally we would've driven through the drive thru BUT the driver's side window is broken, so we went in; Isabella greeted the barista and explained that she really likes the chocolate milk at Starbucks and she thought that the girls nose ring was a booger...I watched as she made someone laugh

We returned home and Isabella went to her playroom...
I listened as she explained to her dolls that they have to look both ways before crossing the street, 
she scolded a stuffed animal for eating cookies before his lunch, 
she exclaimed that she loves all of her animals and friends just like Mama loves her

I truly sat back and observed today and found that my little girl, who we call Bebellies, is becoming her own person... 
she doesn't like to be ignored...she will make sure that you are paying attention to her
she enjoys making up stories 
she enjoys to read
she loves to help me cook

At the end of the day, she truly enjoys to cuddle up and feel all of our love around her.

I'm happy I listened... I really should do more of that!
