You know it’s summer time when . . .

your child looks like this:

My favorite things about Isla right now:

• The way she starts every sentence with “oh” (i.e. Oh Mama, Oh Daddy, Oh Papa, Oh Hanky, Oh Blankey).
• That her favorite book to read right now is “Frosty the Snowman” (mind you it is almost 100 degrees outside today).
• Her endless hugs. She will give a hug just about every time you ask her and they are the best. I hope they never stop coming.
• Her dancing. I think she got her Mom’s awesome dance moves. I so wish I could capture it on video to share with you all – maybe someday.
• Her wonderful sleeping habits. Because in about three months I won’t be getting any sleep.
• Her love of the outdoors. As longs as she is outside doing whatever (which is mostly playing in the dirt or writing with her sidewalk chalk) she is one happy little girl.
• Her daily updates from daycare ("Mason in trouble, Mason timeout. Morgan timeout"). Funny how her name never comes up when she gives us the daily timeout list.

We love you Miss Isla Bean and thank you so much for all the joy you bring into our lives!
